The 2012 Audi A5 is one of very few four-seat convertibles with all-cloth folding tops, along with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet.
The rest offer folding hardtops, including the pleasingly-shaped BMW 3-Series.
The two Japanese luxury makes are newcomers in this arena; the Lexus IS 250C may have more space inside, while the newer Infiniti G37 convertible seems to have more appealing lines with the top down.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E Class models have sharper driving appeal than in the past, while also returning to the classy interior appointments and vault-like construction that have made them longtime luxury benchmarks. |
