6th gen convertible spied?

Just saw this on JusticePete's Facebook page. Vert teaser? http://www.tflcar.com/2014/10/is-thi...ertible-spied/

Good find!

Not sure that we can definitively say that this is a convertible, though. Unless it's a hard-top convertible, not sure why they'd bother 'dazzle' painting the roof underneath the covering. True that this has a different roof covering than other prototypes, but I suppose it could be because of a sunroof or something along those lines.

This author claims his info says hard top vert.

Well....he has taken that out of the article. But when I first read it, it was there.

Yeah, a hard top vert would be crazy and add weight and cost but would be a step up for the Camaro. That should kill some of the leaking top complaints.

Yea a hard top vert would be pretty cool if done right! Definitely not an option for performance! Probably add a lot of weight and take up more trunk space.

DenverTaco07 · 10-19-2014, 09:15 PM

yeah, weight is already an issue with normal ragtops, so I would imagine even more.

However, maybe we are looking at T tops here? or Stingray-like removable top...now that I would spend some $$ on.

T-tops would be amazing, and a hardtop convertible would be sweet as well. As long as it's a ragtop, I really would never consider it.

Looks like the standard shots of the heavily camouflaged cars. Not sure what is unique that would give anyone the idea it's a convertible, hard top or otherwise.

I agree, I think a T-top setup would be pretty cool

The camo is going up all the way to A pillar.

A hard top is even more difficult to make it seal perfect. I would stick with the soft top. You can make a soft top seal perfect.

I would love a targa top option.
