Its become a norm it seems any thing with 2 doors & if its a "Convertible" is always ridiculously priced

In Germany the difference between pricing of the E class sedan & cabriolet is aprox 20%

But in India it is way off

CBU taxes + They brought the E400 in the cab version instead of the 200, 250 and 350
