What are the available hardtop convertibles out there? I know about the Benz SL and SLK and also the Lexus SC430...any others? I have decided my next vehicle needs to be a hardtop convertible...RWD...with good power and handling. Suggestions?

also the upcomming tiberon (sp?) is going to be the cheapest hardtop convertible in the market

The cheapest/best hardtop I believe is the slk32. It easily is one of the best performing cars around and doesnt get mentioned a whole lot. It will run with/beat M3's in a lot of performance categories.

XLR is another hardtop but if you were to but if you were going to go after that I would say spend the extra $$$ and go for the SL. Of all the hardtops, none compare to the MB.

slk32 is the cheapest? I haven't looked at the tiberons but I would imagine that a hyundai would be cheaper than 55 grand...

but I guess a hyundain doesnt really count

the tiburon isn't available yet.

There's also the new Chevy SSR.

I think he meant the compromise between performance and hardtop-ness Also I think the tiberon will be pretty heavy with the top, and I dont know if the 2.7 v6 will be up to the task

I have to agree with the assesment...the slk32 is the shit...but yea its kinda steep
