Porsche 911, looks totally stupid in convertible guise.

Agreed - I *wish* they did a targa 996

e46 M3 convertible is gorgeous and I can't think of many cars which will provide quite the driving experience.

The Focus CC mings. In fact, every CC I've seen mings tbh. AND I have rarely seen one with the topdown - WHAT'S THE POINT OF BUYING IT?????

I (and the car on my drive

) disagree, I think the Focus CC is great, I have to say you're right on the other bit, the amount of cars that I passed on the way home with the roof's up was unreal - mine is dropped pretty much all the time that it's dry...

Ok, I'll revise.

Nearly all cars that were originally designed to have a roof look ****ing stupid when it's chopped off.

imo.

So true. I hate the look of most convertibles. I only like hardtop convertibles, mainly because they can look like proper hardtops.

I think the Focus CC and VW EOS look rather nice really. Infact they look far better with the top down than up. But we're not talking about hard-top convertibles anyway, unless I read the thread title wrong!

Add a proper roof, and you have a seriously nice car. :cool:

It's just like a MINI convertible, but for bigger, richer gayers.

Actually I dont mind that 500, in a kitsch girly car sort of way, it looks like it was designed, not just bodged on.

911, 350Z.

Mk1 Golf convertible, especially in white...looks like a pram when the top's down.

Doesn't look like a soft top?

[TW]Fox · 22 Jul 2008 at 21:18

It's not, it's a Targa Top. Which is what Nick wishes they did.

And BMW soft tops are awesome:

Begbie · 22 Jul 2008 at 21:23

Show off

It does look very awesome though.

Ford Fiesta !!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/225195/allnew_fiesta_raises_the_roof.html

focus and 206 are cc's so not soft tops, the new 3 series cc's are fantastic looking.
