If it makes money and thus justifies manufacturers investing in cars like the 86 then I'm all for it. I mean, if the only way for me to own an awesome car for cheap is for someone else to pay too much money for a crappy convertible hack, then so be it.

But do you know what would be way more awesome than a convertible 86? A Miata coupe. I never really understood why Mazda chose to reject such a large potential customer base, or refuse to create such a great car, especially when it would require so little effort and cost.
