Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertible: First Drive Review - Zigwheels.com
Trieste is a small but very beautiful bay city in northeastern Italy, with the unbelievably blue Adriatic Sea on one side and picturesque Slovenia on the other. Staying true to Murphy’s Law, it has to rain… specially when there’s a fast convertible like the new Mercedes-Benz C 300 Cabriolet for me to drive. So, I don’t think I will be able to enjoy the scenic drive with the fabric roof rolled down. And if past drives are any indicators, I won’t be surprised if it becomes nice and sunny the very moment I finished my day’s driving and step out of the car. Rain or sunshine, I have just one day to drive the India-bound petrol powered Mercedes-Benz C 300 Cabriolet on the less explored roads stretching from Trieste to the border towns of Slovenia. As I walk closer to inspect the Cabriolet it appears to be subtly different from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class four-door sedan available in India. Not surprising, because the convertible is based on the two-door Coupe version. The front has the similar set of LED headlight but instead of the twin slats of the C-Class sedan, the Cabriolet gets just one chrome strip holding the large tri-star logo. Interestingly, with the fabric roof stretched over the C 300, its profile closely resembles the C-Class Coupe. Source: www.zigwheels.com
