It's been a very very long time since we've seen a four-door convertible. Too long as far as I'm concerned. Thankfully, for all those who enjoy this staple of yesteryear luxury, it looks like it might be back into production soon - hopefully sooner than later. Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled it's latest design study at this year's NAIAS. They call it: Concept Ocean Drive.I don't know why, but ever since I was a little kid I've been fascinated with the four-door convertible. I think it all stemmed from the day my neighbor showed my little brother and I his mint 1964 black Lincoln Continental under tarps in the back of his garage. It was big, beautiful, and I was hooked. Needless to say, I'm really excited to see this design in production. So excited in fact, that I'll forgive this Benz for looking somewhat like a Chrysler 300 sans top, and the strange (Cadillac inspired?) and very large front clip.
Now if it only had suicide doors...

Hey, Matt. Damon here.
I'm liking what I see so far. John's comments on the test track post were spot on. Make sure to give up a bit more details, while avoiding the dreaded "PR voice."
As for the this post: We try to avoid use of the word I and instead prefer to speak as a group, utilizing the royal "we." Personal anticdotes have their time and place, and we occasionally speak in the first person, but it's a rarity.
More details about the car were needed, but aside from those two content-related issues, I like your voice and the clarity with which you write.
