Mechanical hardtop
GM has had 3 hardtop convertibles. the SSR, the Saab, the Pontiac G6.
They have the technology and no car at this time to use it. Why not the 2012 Camaro?!? The system doesn't need a 200lb motor, and canvas is a pain in the ass. Best Ricky |

I love this convertible! I highly doubt the shark fin will be behind the 3rd brakelight because it partially obscures the 3rd brakelight.

And it's also WAY too late for it to be even considered for the Camaro; the car's been done for years and we still haven't gotten it out on the road due to our bankruptcy and the bankruptcy disappearance of the supplier that engineered the original top for it... luckily the new one is going to be much nicer, but no chance of a hard top! You have NO idea what you're asking. That would have to be done from the very beginning, not added on at the last minute.

I'll keep the 1:18 Die cast convertible model I have in my office... I am glad I bought the coupe to drive! IOM, 3.6, 6sp.man, Black Stripes and custom Special Edition Graphics...

No. I know they won't. Please stop wondering. I work there. Trust me. We thought of it many years ago. It's not happening. Seriously. Read my post above yours.

It just doesn't look right to me. Something is off.

It's been pointed out that it's super distorted by the camera lens and the movement. Could that be it? Or that the graceful swoopy upper part of the car has been cut off leaving only the huge heavy blocky stubby lower part of the car?

No... it's that the convertible cuts off some of the most beautiful lines on the car. It's a chop top... without the top?

back on topic, i don't think the convertible looks bad. although the 3rd brake light and antenna do take away from the aesthetic appeal of the rear end, no one ever said they were permanent
