I am waiting for the Convt. The one thing I am most curious about is how they are going to style the top. Will it be like last years model with the soft top boot? Or will it be like the Mercedes that have it hidden under a fiberglass tonneau cover?
Also, since I work in a dealership (Lotus) one of our wholesalers (who works for a Ford dealership) was saying that some of the GT's were being shipped back to dearborn for possible head problems. Has anyone heard this?

The order guide shows a "convertible soft boot" option. You have to get up into the range of $40K BMWs and Audis before you get an automatic hard tonneau cover.

The most I'm hoping for is that the top folds in such a way as to cover the headliner automatically.

The only timing on the convertible I know of is Job 1 is Jan.31st 2005.

It is suppose to be offically unveilled at the NAIAS in January.


AAI has built some pre-production convertibles, but are keeping them under cover.

I know- I will remain hopeful. Ford did try to make a fold away top in the beginning. But it was a no go. Was hoping that nothing was set in stone yet. You never know with Ford! Hopefully, they do it tastefully.
