Whether it was intentional or not, Daimler has just released this video of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible ahead of any other official announcements.

The E-Class Convertible exterior design is not much of a surprise as spy photos have practically shown the vehicle in its entirety. Despite the anticlimactic debut, these official videos still manage to give us a good look at the final E-Class range model.

The first video gives a general overview with some driving scenes.  Close observation reveals the hidden rollover protection behind the headrests. Via cute dog with flappy ears, the second video demonstrates the convertible’s new AirCap system.  Innovated by Daimler, the system consists of a windshield mounted spoiler that ariculates to control the air flow through the cabin when the top is down.  When the AirCap is deployed it gives the E-Class Convertible draught-free open top convertible experience for all four seats.

The E-Class Convertible arrives in showrooms in spring 2010. Seven diesel and gasoline engines ranging from 125kW (170hp) to 285kW (387hp) will be available at launch.
