Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/) is already at work on the next-generation C-Class sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/22/next-mercedes-benz-c-class-getting-worked-out-at-the-ring/), but USA Today reports (http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2012/10/25/mercedes-benz-cannon/1656357/) that the automaker promises to add a convertible model for to the mix as well and will offer it in the US. The new C-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/) is expected out next year as a 2014 model, and it will be the first time the C-Class has ever directly offered a drop-top model, likely to be called the C-Class Cabriolet.
Previously, the CLK-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/clk-class/) acted as a convertible based on the smaller C-Class, but it was sized and generally thought of as an E-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/) model. There are no concrete details about this new car, but it's almost certain to be the most affordable convertible in the Mercedes lineup, slotting in under the $42,900 SLK-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/slk-class/) roadster well below the $59,070 E-Class Cabriolet (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/e-class+cabriolet/). Cars such as the C-Class Cabriolet and the all-new CLA-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mercedes-benz%20cla-class/) are an attempt to draw younger buyers into the Mercedes family, according to Steve Cannon (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/steve%20cannon/), CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA.
In addition to the new C-Class convertible, USA Today also says that Mercedes plans a total of 19 new or refreshed models (including 11 in new-to-Mercedes segments) by 2020.Mercedes-Benz exec promises C-Class convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/27/mercedes-exec-promises-c-class-convertible/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Sat, 27 Oct 2012 10:01:00 EST.
