do you like the convertibles?

i for one am just not a fan. maybe it's because i don't live in the most hospitable climates for convertibles to be that useful, or maybe it's that i owned a t-top 4th gen (which i thought was the best of both worlds), but for some reason i just don't get the verts. they look funny with the top up. what do you think?

They look great as far as convertibles go.

Have you looked at the 2011 Indianapolis Pace car?

It's gorgeous.

i like the vert..however, like many, i want the torneau cover to close in one piece, like eclipse, and some others. Nice and neat and no need to get out of car for uncovering and covering in foul weather..

I am a fan of targa top cars, or hard top convertibles as long as they don't make the trunk area look stupid like they did for the BMW 3-series.

Convertibles look great with the top down, but most of the country has to drive with the top up most of the time. So I would pass on a soft top convertible in favor of a coupe.

Needs a hard top that retracts into the car...I think they look bad with the rag top. They look a little better down but it takes the look of the car away if you know what I mean.

Cyber Grey with a black top looks pretty good. I just don't think it was worth the extra money for the soft top (the local dealer wanted $10,000 more than what I paid for my 2SS Hard Top).
