I personnaly don't "get" retactable hard tops.
You lose the use of your trunk - you've got to run around with an empty trunk or you can't lower you top.
If it weren't for the Vett's trunk I'd be driving a Ferrari.

As a note- if you get one forget about your trunk space (even with the top up). Most of the 'room' will be lost to the 'pumps'.

That one is ugly with the top up. The new Volvo C70 retractable hardtop has an excellent design and you'd never know it was a convertible until the top is down.
