convertible features
I just watched the Sebring Seminar video. It was stated that all convertible tops are power, more aerodynamic, and require no manual latching/unlatching.
My favorite revelation was that the top can be operated with the key fob.

Cool, it just keeps getting better and better....

I think the top looks better/smoother too. And I have a C6 vert that I like very much.

You can also raise or lower the top at speeds up to 30 mph.

that fancier it gets, the heavier it gets and the more that can go wrong. My manual top is quick and easy and has only one electronic thing to it.

I had a Jaguar XK convertible with an electric top that did not require latching (electronic servos did everything). Very cool...
The only problem was that in the case of any battery or other electronic "issues", the top would pop open and freeze in the half up/down position, then have to be "reset" much like the indexing windows in the 'Vette. Worse the "reset" had to be done at the dealer. I very much hope the C7 vert is FAR less finicky...
