I don't get why they can't just do a hard-top. It's got enough power so you know weight isn't an issue.
Even Miatas have retractable hard-tops! I'm sorry but this just looks retarded: I mean, you got the beautiful muscular lines of the body, then you got the POS soft top on top. No bueno. |

All top level luxury convertibles use soft-tops. It may actually be perceived by the intended customers as being more luxurious, or more classic. Look at this Mercedes S, Bentley, or Rolls, or at a lower (but still quite high) level BMW 6. All their convertibles are soft tops.

Cloth tops are nicer, look better and take up less trunk space when folded. Hardtops look like awkward coupes. Do you really think folks buying an S Cab can't also buy a coupe of some sort?
Rumor has it that the G series 4er will go back to a softtop. |

Not yet announced. But their Coupes are ALWAYS more expensive that their sedans and it's a Vert! I expect @ $160k+

A well engineered fabric over hard all day any day.
I'm guessing this car has lower dB levels, top up, inside than any hard top convertible on the market. 650s spider may be quite...just not at wot of course.

Folding hard tops take up a lot of space, I would bet that's the main (or only) reason. S-class needs a useable trunk, but I suppose this is a niche-model that doesn't make much sense anyway...

Another big reason manufacturers go for soft top is so there is a noticeable difference between the coupe and convertible. They don't want a convertible that sort of almost looks like a coupe, they want the convertible to clearly look like a convertible.
