Please do. I love hatchbacks.

nah, hopfully subaru will make a hatchback ver, not a convertible.

S2kphile · 12-06-2011, 01:54 AM

Or maybe Subaru should offer a hatchback and Scion offer a convertible or vice versa in the lineup To differentiate the 2 brands. That'd be awesome.

KaliKev · 12-06-2011, 02:10 AM

I'd buy a convertible...AND a coupe. But not just a convertible version.

TylerLieberman · 12-06-2011, 03:37 PM

BRZ Convertible
At the moment, the BRZ Coupe is good for a 0-60 mph sprint of less than 7 seconds. A convertible would undoubtedly add some extra mass onto the coupe’s 2,770 lb. curb weight. That might take a slight edge off performance; yet according to some sources, a convertible is part of the BRZ (and mechanically identical Toyota 86/Scion FR-S) project. That means the chassis should cope with the loss of the hardtop using only a minimal amount of extra bracing. Like the coupe, expect a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission equipped with paddle shifters.

No word yet as to whether the BRZ drop-top might be fabric, or a folding metal system. To keep the price low, we think Subaru is more likely to opt for a cheaper and less complex fabric top. From these computer-generated images, you might want to just leave the top down all the time. Unfortunately, the already tight rear seating is likely to only get worse with a convertible. Trunk space might also suffer.
We’re guessing owners would be willing to give up some practicality for style. And if Subaru gets the price right, the Japanese automaker should have no problem finding customers. The BRZ Coupe is expected to start around $25,000 when it goes on sale next year which means the BRZ Convertible may start around $30,000 if it goes into production for the 2014 model year.

Thanks for the repost (the search feature does work) http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ht=Convertible

SVTSHC · 12-08-2011, 01:04 PM

fair enough, my mistake. I just cruised the first page of the BR-Z threads before I posted it.

At the very least this has the link to the Road & Track article

Zaku · 12-08-2011, 01:09 PM

Thanks for the article, lol R&T always makes me laugh I'm sure it's totally based on that Photoshop and "What if?" But I be pretty surprised if they do make that. Hope it's not a cabriolet like in the Photoshop. Roadster on the other hand well that's interesting. And before a convertible... How about a fast back(Hatch) version it's prolly much more practical and wanted then a drop top, if your gonna add weight. The Fast back wouldn't weight much more then the current and is very functional. It would really go with the Subaru Spirit.

I personally don't like convertibles. Ruins the whole car.
