But I still like them. And they were much better than the generation before, and much better than any SL that came after. I am also of the opinion that convertibles don’t really need to be true drivers cars. They just need to not suck.

IN reading the article, it reminded me that some high end German cars from this era had a power rear view mirror. I dont think any current vehicles have this feature anymore. I think the e34 540 also had it iirc. |
