Looking at the seat protection, I'm thinking this prototype doesn't even have a roof it can raise.

This will cost about 5k more. Convertibles typically cost 5k more so expect to pay about $29,500 USD.

I would never get one myself, I love the hardtop but would like to see a targa top also.
The convertible though, i'm trying to get my mom to get one when it comes out. |

I agree that it does appear to be a non-functional prototype, most likely just to use as a concept car on the auto show circuit to help continue interest in the 86. There's so little room between the tunk lid and the rear seats that the rear seats would have to go if they were going to fit a soft top.
Many car companys build one-off convertible prototypes that never make it to production. I remember when I had an Oldsmobile Alero, GM had a convertible version built that never made it beyond the concept stages.

Disagree, S2000 looks better and was designed to be a convertible. But then again I'm biased
I don't really see the point of the convertible... I plan on getting a fixed roof coupe when I'm ready to pick up an 86 to go with my S2K (the other reason I wouldn't get the vert... already have one that I feel is better and made as a vert from the ground up... this is being made after the fact like the 350/370Z). I'm with others, a targa or t-tops would've been awesome and I probably would spring for one of those. I didn't read all through the pages so I may have missed it, but I can't help but wonder how much having the missing roof will affect the handling of the car? That's one of the major selling points to the 86 twins.
