I thought you guys might get a chuckle out of this pic, snapped while we were on the launch of the new E-Class Cabrio in Mallorca. This guy is expressing his opinion of it:

Separated at birth?
I'm thinking the little guy can't reach high enough. That wing at the top of the windshield is awful!

I'd take that dog over the car any day!

The wing is to deflect air up and over the cabin... your hairdo stays intact.
It goes away when you push a button...

Well, E36 M3, depends on whether you've got a combover...

Come on guys, we get all mad over manufactures putting useless junk on cars and then laugh when the stuff they put on them is functional?
I will take one of each.

Looks funny - works well. It was pretty windy there, we wore shirtsleeves. Course, there's this kind of silly thing they have called "Airscarf" that blows warm air around your neck from the headrest as well. Put together, it's actually quite functional even in chilly weather. Unless it rains.

I'd rather have the dog.

Only if the dog was V-8 powered.

The four legged or the four wheeled one?

I can't imagine any owners of that car having any hair left anyway.

Here's a pic without the spoiler deployed. I liked this V8 car a lot.
This car, the E220 CDI 5-speed is only available in Europe.

Next time you've got an assignment like that, I just want you to know I'm willing to be a chauffeur, dinner guide, gofer, and all around gigolo

Y'know, Lesley..you and your friends could make me rethink this whole younger woman thing...
As far as the spoiler goes, at least if it was up front I wouldn't spend so much time looking out the back to see it move (Iike I do w/the Corrados).
You should throw some copyright gfx on the dog pic before it goes "viral" on the internetz..

Yah, I'm the one up front - the others write for the competition. Friendly bunch we are.

If you drive fast enough, the rain meant for you gets collected by the windshield and you won't get wet.
That spoiler looks like a comb-over.

Love the color of the car, looks like a "special" triceratops, I'm sure it's a dream to drive. I'm with the dog.
