What is your favorite drop top? Mine is easily the AP1 S2000, I feel it captures what a roadster is all about. Your turn!

How have I never heard of this before?!? I had no idea CRX Convertibles were made. Was that really a factory effort? Sold here in North America? Any SI variants?

Who knows more info?

What? You're straight?
Miata, eh, I do like them, but I wasn't thinking about it at the time.

The other cars that I was going to list were:
Bentley Continental GTC, Cadillac Allante, Infiniti G37, 90's Gen Lotus Elan, Maserati Cambiocorsa, Masterati GranCabrio, 2011 Mercedes E-Class, 1st Gen Mercedes SLK, Mitsubishi Colt, Nissan Micra C+C, 2004-2007 Saab 9-3, Smart Fortwo, and the newest facelift for the Volvo C70.

Some more information about cars that have been converted to convertible.
Wikipedia Info
I mainly looked for this information, because I want to find a car that hasn't been done, and do it my self. Preferably one that is a coupe, not a hatchback, and door glass doesn't have a frame around it. I've seen a Dodge Neon, Honda Civic, Nissan Maxima and Cadillac Escalade(Hideous, because they're four-doors)
Nissan Maxima,

It wasn't a good decision to remove the roof from these cars because of their weak structure. I had the standard coupe and the body would sag so much (when on a lift) that I could barely open the doors. http://www.redpepperracing.com/forums/in...opic=42018

Gotta go with the classics...


Too bad I'm far too tall to drive one...

And then, the car it's based off of... I suspect both are more fun for the observer than the owner because of their nature- pretty basic.
