My dad used to have a Fiat spider before he sold it to my uncle who he now doesn't speak to. That was going to be my car some day too.

It used to be an aftermarket mercedes company, kinda like Alpina is to BMW.

Mercedes purchased them a while back to act as their superluxuary marquee to compete with the likes of Bentley. They're not quite Rolls Royce level, but they're up there.

No, we had a convertible in the family but no one drove it. We eventually got rid of it.
I dont care for sunroofs or moon roofs either

To get an idea of Maybach quality, here's a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-AtWmJYoGE

Personally I like manual softtops more because they are not prone to mechanical failure of getting stuck, and due to panel gap issues over time, they can leak more as the cars age, whereas soft tops will never leak unless they rip, and they're a ton cheaper to replace/fix vs retractable hardtops.

Basically the same issues you see with cars equipped with sunroofs.

Not a soft top since they can be slashed open by knives
