That's been there for a while. It's all CGI, I wish there was a live picture of one.

Great find.

Though verts with the top up are always ugly, no matter what.

IMO verts are ugly period. But that's just my .02 cents which isn't worth much lol.

No matter how they design it the convertible top always ruins the lines of the car.

Only the 3rd Gens looked halfway decent imo, and that was due to the angular styling of the car matching the more angular line of a convertible top.

I have a feeling the 5th Gen may be the same. Not as sexy as the coupe, but still better than every other car out there.

4th Gens didn't work particularly well as convertibles. The smooth rounded edges just did NOT match with the angular top. Top down it's sexy as can be, top up... Not so much.

Another vehicle that looked ok as a 'vert was the 2000 body style Mustang.
