Nothing says ‘American Classic’ like a traditionally designed convertible with copious amounts of room. The all-new and completely redesigned for 2008 Chrysler Sebring seats four full-sized adults in the cabin, two golf bags in the trunk, and features three roof options - vinyl, cloth and a retractable hardtop. Opt for the Limited - the larger engine, retractable hardtop and the bells and whistles are well worth the extra pricehttp://www.kingstonview.org/uploads/pnwautos/08CHR_SebringLimi2Dr23_C2.jpg
Named after the Greek goddess of dawn, the Eos has a sporty drive, room for four and the proven turbocharged 2.0 inline four found in the GTI. The best feature is the five-piece retractable hardtop with integrated glass sunroof. This roof-lowering maneuver is a marvel of engineering; the front roof panels, including the glass sunroof, slide under the forward roof panels as the entire roof area rises from the C-pillar to what would be a B-pillar and is stored beneath a rear deck, all in 25 seconds. It sounds complicated because it is.
The itty-bitty rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5, nee Miata, now cures what ails the long-suffering convertible owner - having to open and close the roof by hand. For 2007, Mazda equipped the MX-5 with a brand-new power hardtop that opens and closes in seconds at the press of a button. The new top only adds about 80 pounds of weight, so the ride quality doesn’t suffer.
The new fourth-generation 3-series convertible features a first-for-BMW power retractable hardtop, room for four comfortably, a 300-horsepower twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine and some of the finest engineering and handling on the road today. The roof opens in 22 seconds and closes in 23 seconds. A rocket ship on wheels with looks to match.
Audi redesigned the iconic TT model, making it longer and wider by 5.4”, 3.1” respectively. They also stretched the wheelbase by 1.8” creating a sportier drive with more legroom and trunk space. Audi made a conscious decision to keep the purity of soft-top in the TT Roadster. The baseball stitching is back too.
