I would go for the SL because it still looks fresh, it's very luxurious and comfortable, it has great V8 and V12 engines and because it's a Benz.

SL...Even if I was a nuthugger for another brand like BMW, Auid or Porsche, I'd still have to go for the SL.

***But where is the Aston Martin DB8 convertible?

No such car...lol! I know you meant the DB9, that would complicate things a great deal see as how it is the best looking production car in the world today.

Re: Summer Convertible BATTLE (SL vs 6 series vs 911)!

The SL is getting to be a bit dated imo. The style is no longer interesting or unique. To me it looks a bit too much like an E class with no roof and two doors-its gorgeous, but just old.

the 6 series-although is somewhat awkward from some angles-is a beautiful car in other angles (i.e. the rear). It works well in the M garb-but needs the refresh as well. I dont like how the bonnet line is above the head lights-making the front end look like its slumping-or how the headlights look cross eyed-imo its BMW's weakest designs since the 7 series.

The problem i have with the porsche-is that its a convertable 911-which just doesnt make any sence to me- it contradicts what the product is meant to be-and although its probably the best here i couldnt vote for it.

as for the others----who cares?

anyway, id rather have a 3 convertable than any of these luxo brutes.
