2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

Attention, women and gheys: we're still nine months away from that somewhat awaited sequel to Sex and the City. But the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet spotted on the set? It's here now, and in lockstep with the cast, it couldn't wait to drop its protective bra for the cameras.

X17 nabbed this and other shots of the new convertible, which is based on the E-Class Coupe reviewed over at TheCarConnection earlier this year. The Cabrio doesn't go on sale until next spring, but it's due for a world debut in two weeks at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.

The new convertible four-seat Benz was nabbed during filming, and apparently plays some part in ferrying SATC star Sarah Jessica Parker around. Somehow, it managed to nose its way in front of SJP for a few moments--coincidentally, in the same totally casual, 3/4-profile way the Benz GLK managed during the shooting of the last Sex and the City movie. Well played!

We'll have more to report on the E-Class Cabrio soon. Tune in to High Gear Media's Frankfurt show coverage for that, and you can read more on the 2010 E-Class Coupe, too.

In the meantime, someone should probably get these ladies an espresso. And could someone find the best boy, please? Ms. Cattrall's hinges need some oil before they rust.
