It looks like retractible hard top convertibles are making a comeback. Mitsubishi then M-B, then Lexus, then Volvo... I may have missed a few who copied Ford who introduced the first production HT convertible in 1957.

hard top convertibles are the way all converibles should be from now on i think.
Soft tops are weak and contribute to a weaker frame rigidity. Besides they just look like plain crap. |

I've heard that the 4 series is being developed as a model range in it's own right, curious to see what it will look like? Hopefully a concept for next years Autoshow circut? |

I've heard they first wanted to call the E92/E93 the 4 series, but because of the 3-coupe good image they called it off..

 .On the other hand, I find soft tops 'classier'... But that's a question of tastes  .Guillaume |

the hardtop is not as stong as a fixed top, and with all the hinges required to let it fold it's not going to make the body more rigid at all. The hardtop would eat alot of trunk space too the softtop isn't perfect either, but it's the tried and tested option no hardtop convertible has had any performance at all so far SLK, volvo, lexus, stupid chevy truck thing |
