Mercedes has been making convertibles as long as there have been cars, and they've brought all their expertise to bear in the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 cabriolet. This car is a convertible for all seasons -- even the cold, wet ones. It went on sale in the United States in May 2010 with a V6 or a V8; I was given the V8 for my wintry week with the Mercedes-Benz E550 cabriolet.
