How about a T-top?

Mouse · 10-30-2009, 03:31 PM

I didn't know those came in convertible. But seriously how long ago was that?

cyde01 · 10-30-2009, 03:42 PM

from wikipedia:

"The 2000GT made its most famous screen appearance in the 1967 James Bond movie You Only Live Twice. Even though the car was never commercially available as a convertible, two were made specially for the film. However, they did not have roofs, just an upholstered hump at the rear of the cabin to simulate a folded top, and therefore were not really true convertibles."

still, they were dead sexy..

toyota sports 800 had a targa top as well and a boxer engine!!!

Me, no like ToyoHachi targa.

Not a fan of verts...but cool for those who do.

i wouldn't buy a convertible, but i'm sure a lot of people would. i like S2000's and MR-S's, but since this car has been designed as a coupe already, i'd want mine that way.

i think the convertible would look sweet-- not for me, but still look nice. they may even rip out the back seats for the retract-roof; who knows?

sonicwrx · 10-30-2009, 08:27 PM

IMO convertibles are gross but if it helps them sell this car then by all means offer it.

aspera · 10-30-2009, 09:33 PM

Toyota Technocraft SW20, maybe?

I'm no a fan of convertibles unless they have a rollcage.

Jordo! · 10-30-2009, 10:01 PM

Ehhh... I thought Tada already said this and a cabriolet were being considered... not news.

I'd put this one at only 25% likely. The Z has a convertable, so they might want to compete with that, but they also built a prototype XYR convertable that never happened.

A targa top would be cool, but has anyone gone for that look post 1990?

OldSkoolToys · 10-30-2009, 10:47 PM

imo targa top is the best of any of the available "non-hardtop" options.

I'm a bit biased since I owned an '89 Supra Targa.

vert would be fun especially if its a 2 seater. i hate giving out rides

Targa is a great option. Maybe not with a base model though..
