If they do it - my guess is that it may be more like the Thunderbird or the 95 Cobra.

But it would be sooo cool to have it that way!

If they do it like that, I'm sure a shop could work with the removable hard top to cut out and make it targa as well...

convertible hardtop = More Weight = Less Performance.

I don't get convertible hardtops on sports cars. Sure its fine on a Chrysler Sebring, but on a BMW 3-Series or Miata. So much for the ulimate driving maching.

I can't say I'm a fan. I'd much rather have a soft top!

I have to say that is the most ugly thing I have seen in awhile. I would never buy anything that looked as dis-proportionate as that thing... with a whale butt to boot!! Ugly Ugly Ugly !!!

At least the softtop gives a high beltline/low roof line look to the vert.

Can't say I like the look. Prefer my ragtop.

The back end looks like a Nissan. Just wrong.

It you thought the ragtop added weight just wait for the hardtop. You will be tipping the scales like the fat Dodge Chargers.
