Nice thing is that GTS is on wide body 74inch rather than the slightly wide C4. Driving on 6th Decsmile

C4 has same rear width as GTS.

Turbo and Turbo S rear wider than C4.

Flankel, so you do not see the point in a GTS cabriolet PDK? I try to explain:

First why a cabrio? because people like me, who like it outside, get two cars for the price of one: I would drive to de Alps with the top raised, when there I would fold it. I would drive top up when in the city and top down on my favourist road. This is a GTS not a GT3, a GT3 cabrio would be an aberration but not a GTS wich is a Grand Tourer Sport which means that you can travel in confort to any track, no matter how far it would be, do your track day and then comeback home peacefully, and that is the point of any 911. Plus a 911 cabrio is as cool as the coupe, just remember the 356 Speedster.

Second why not a manual? just look at a calendar, we are in 2015 not 1975, Pdk is not a triptonic, it actually helps you to concentrate on driving not joggling with a gear stick and an unnecesary third pedal.

good luck to brave people buying the mercedes Gts another car with same family engine as slk and c class . The way mercedes discount and already discounts available on Gts I can't see that it will be a good long term buy and reminds me of Chrysler crossfire - are they same company? biglaugh
