I'd never buy one. I mean, it looks like it eliminates (what little there already is) the backseat and the trunk. Where am I gonna put my golfclubs?

That IS cool! Ford should think about offering it! Best of both worlds! I take this back. Ford SHOULD NOT consider it. It's cool, but I had a '57-'59 flashback!
Amazing technology!!! :)

But I don't like the look of the roof line when it's up.

:cool:

I love those things!

The old Ford hardtop-converts in the '60s, the '96 Mitsu 3KGT, the '08 Mazda MX5 - all of those I'd just about pay to watch 'em "do their thing".
Yeah, until it starts pouring down rain and in the middle of putting the top up one of the motor servo's take a crap. Hope he keeps a really big umbrella tucked in the back seat. lol:lol:
What back seat? :)

I fully expected R2D2 to pop out at some point.
Not for me but cool as heck!
There is a downside (or two) to these retractable hardtops...these systems add a lot of weight, much of it at the upper levels which raises the vehicle's center of gravity. That can affect the car's handling noticeably.

Also, the complexity of the systems sometimes lead to catastrophic failures, such as what happened to this brand new 3-series BMW.

Yeah, Scott, they were cool, but as an old f*rt that was there to witness these so-called "wonders" ('57-'59 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliners) back in the day, I can tell you that the goofy things didn't work right, drove the people that owned them nuts, and became one big giant pain in the a** for Ford. Thus, they were scrapped after '59. I'm sure they're a whole lot more reliable today, though. (Scratch that. I just saw SurfGuitar's post #9 above!)
It's just not a Mustang type option.
I could not take it seriously after the title, "convertible", was spelled incorrectly.
