Thanks. I've seen the photos and have been following it all pretty closely--mostly lurking here, though.
Just haven't seen any confirmation one way or another. I've heard there may be a new rollover standard for all verts starting in 2007 or so, though no confirmation on that, either. Also, most verts sold now have those popup rollbars--even the new Beetle vert has 'em--so I was thinking maybe Ford would join the 21st century on this.

I would think taco-bell would help you lose weight. Every time I ever ate there, it would very quickly clean out my whole system like drain-o.

"The all-new roll bar system uses a sensor-based system to anticipate a rollover situation and deploy Automatic Rollover Supports. Anticipating a rollover, the system pops the spring-loaded headrests up 10.4 inches and locks them into place, forming supports that are strong enough for the vehicle's weight and protecting front and rear passengers in combination with a reinforced windshield frame. The automatic system eliminates the need for a permanent roll bar like that in the outgoing Cabriolet, eliminating the associated design obstacles and allowing better aerodynamics."
