Neighbor retired. pull up yesterday in same blue spec.

I don’t get warm with this car, same as with the coupe. It’s appearance and rank is perceived clearly below E class, but the price is up there if not even more. Having owned E Cabrio/Coupe, it always felt more upper class for paying more than for a C class. Here I think it just feels like a C. Only the 53 I find well positioned with the wide body etc, very sporty

He have a lot of wrong informations, this car isn't replacing the E class cabrio, the interior isn't as large as in the E-class cabrio (rear seat in this one aren't in the same level of a 4 BMW cabrio who have smaller rear seats than the E class cabrio) Mercedes says that this one is a replacement of both the E and the C, but they never said that it was comparable to the E!!!!

That's brilliant: I can't think of a better advocate for this car than Dickhammerbush (seriously, not being a smart ass). I have the AMG S63 Cabrio, which is a sexy, inviting thing (bush), while the 5.5L AMG motor is the dickhammer when you want it to be. And I guess, to @jays9211's comment, Merc will never bring it back because of environmental regs and low demand. Is that the best explanation?

This looks much better than the coupe. They should've just brought back the "CE" nameplate. I.e. CE450. Leave the 3 Letter designations to the 4dr coupe/ sedans & all their SUVs save the G Wagon.

Just discovered your channel. Great review. Thanks.

the Kruger flap type above the front glass make total sense, I had it in my old E class cabriolet

Great great review...!!! Hay, why would you blur the cluster?

Now if they would just release it already. 😤 Thank you for the video. I said the same when you dropped the first CLE convertible review on the one in matte black.

It's beautiful, but a true mix of E and C would have had the E interior. Or something closer to the SL's interior. The old CLK did this better.

I have a 2018 E-Class Cabriolet (and had the previous gen from 2014 before that) and I still get passers by (or even other road users) that approach me just to tell me how good it looks. 7:42 My 2018 generation already has the electric load cover. Plus my generation has physical buttons and switches on the dash and steering wheel meaning I don't have to look down and faff around on a screen for something simple like changing the climate control.

Great review. I noticed you said the white nappa leather. Is that colour also known as macchiato beige? I wasn’t able to find any white nappa options in the UK. In Australia where I’m at, we don’t even have the option of Nappa, the only option is plain leather but it’s so firm it feels more like plastic which is proper disappointing that you can add it on as an option. I’m going for the blue convertible with the same rims in your video as soon as it’s released in Australia. Currently they only offering black rims which is quite polarising as it brings it down in class a notch in my personal opinion. Anyway, keen to know if the colour leather you referring to is indeed macchiato beige or if it’s white, in which case that would be exclusive to only certain countries (again)

Crazy they have done away with C and E. So many buyers that want a Merc soft top that wont be able to go to a car of this price

Dude, I have to say, this is nothing more than a 2-door convertible version of the current C-Class. Straight up, the only reason Merc has decided to call it a CLE is to justify why they are going to charge an E-Class price. I think this car was always destined to be a C-Class and they were going to discontinue the E-Class for cost savings and emissions compliance, and the whole scheme to sell it as a E-Class replacement and sell it for more was dreamt up by some marketing dude/gal who probably got a bonus/promotion. I hope they languish on the shelf, forcing Mercedes to realize that enthusiasts who are looking for a car like this have not been fooled. Don't let Mercedes take you for fools people. Wait until the inevitable discounts before buying.

I’d have a C or E Cab over this cle any day. I have the c cab and it’s one of the best looking convertibles ever made. Like all new Mercedes design language now, it’s just not pretty in my opinion anymore

Far better to go for the SL55 to combine performance, comfort and sound in an open top package…but not the SL43 which sounds like a C180 Spirit to those who can remember that far back..alright but it makes a Corolla sound interesting. 😬😬🧐🙂

Thanks for the vid as always, great content. My kids and I watch youtube car shows and this one came up. They noticed what is incredibly obvious. You are too kind to Mercedes sometimes. That forehead extension this car has is stupid, and in anywhere hot will be filled with bugs on its first use, and looks ridiculous. The price here is astronomical, and its copy paste from other models. Why dont you call out the brand when they flop? I dig your content, but sometimes its like, “come on brah..”
