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)

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.

Some of us aren't fans of the convertible. I'm not personally, but would be interested in a hardtop. Not knocking your ride but just how I feel.

You do realize how much more weight a hardtop would add.... Plus it would probably take up every bit of trunk space when down instead of just half like a cloth top...

You are right...the convertible weighs enough as it is. I looked a 3 series BMW last year and with the top down there was very little trunk space.

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