New and Improved Convertible?
3 questions:
a) Do you think the convertible will be the same material b) Do you think they will still have a separate tonneau cover? c) Would you consider a hard top convertible? (if it were made) |
a) yes
b) yes c) no |
a) yes
b) Yes c) possibly |
I'd buy a hardtop over a coupe.
|
More than anything I want a built-in hard-cover that makes the car look like it was made to have the top down! (like the corvette)

^^^^^ THIS IMO WTH is the point of having a convertible if you have to get out and put a cover over the top. personally I don't unless I am going on a long trip, IMO I should be able to drop top from start point and raise top at end point with any excess work. a power hard top COVER is what these cars should have had.. |
I would not consider a convertible unless it was a hardtop. I would LOVE to see a hardtop option on the next gen. One reason is it just doesn't look good to me to have, say, a red car, and then a black/cloth top on it. The hardtop would allow you to carry the color throughout.

I haven't used it since. And I don't like the whole exposed internals look. If they give us a proper power hard cover like the corvette has I will definitely buy a gen6 convertible. |

So to answer the OP: Yes Yes No |

Black car + black ragtop + built in black power hard-top = top down perfection

The camaro needs a white top option. I had a red '64 impala conv. and a dark blue one- both came with white tops- striking color contrast!

looks were not the problem with the 1st run verts it was function... something I think GM finally got a handle on... not sure if i'd ever own one again

Previously I owned a Lexus SC430 which was a hardtop convertible. Loved having the hardtop, and the lack of trunk space with a hardtop is counteracted by the "back seat" if a bag didn't fit in my trunk, it fit there instead. I assume that 99% of the time, we don't have people in the back seat anyways so it would be rare that storage space actually would be an issue |

1. Yes.
2. No. I don't use one. I just put the top up when I park somewhere. 3. Maybe. Depends on how it looks. Most of the hardtops I've seen are ugly as crap. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/pictur...ictureid=98428 |
YUCK. As you see, cloth tops are dead sexy both top up and top down.

To the OP.
A yes B yes C no, for the reasons I stated earlier... I usually use my Tonneau cover when I am going to be driving on the interstate with the top down or going to be out most of the day. I think the flapping is harder on the top, it's not that hard to put on and take off. No more than a minute. The newer style won't fly off like the early ones did. If you have the one with bungee cords instead of the plastic clips you will be ok....just remember you either have to order the tonneau separately if you get a 1LT or 1SS,or get a 2LT or 2SS to have it included. |
I need my trunk! I use my car to run errands and shuttle my kids to and from school. With the top down, of course.
|
Retractable hardtop only. Best of both worlds, who needs a trunk when one has a sport car?
|
They will use the same material and it will most likely have a separate cover.
I would love to see a hard top vert but I doubt they would make one. They didn't have great success with the XLR and G6 sales wise (even though the reasons had little to do with the top) and they are an expensive option that adds weight. Even though they are moving to a lighter platform I see them sticking to the cloth top. Especially if the Mustang still has a cloth top. |
seems like the general consensus is
a) Do you think the convertible will be the same material Yes b) Do you think they will still have a separate tonneau cover? Yes c) Would you consider a hard top convertible? (if it were made) Yes and No Yes- I would love the best of both worlds and weight doesn't bother me...who needs a trunk?! No- I like the cloth look and my trunk space. I just wish they would fix that damn tonneau cover or get rid of it. Sound about right? |

Will GM replace the early ones with the clips or add the bungee cords to them ?

From what I've seen on the boards here, the new top wasn't realeased until about 26 June, so who knows which one I really have. |
