FT86 Convertible in the works

REPORT: Convertible Toyobaru FT-86 in the works — Autoblog

Quote:
In news that will only shock those that haven't been paying attention, Toyota has reportedly confirmed that if the market demands it, there will be a convertible version of the new FT-86. Though Toyota still hasn't settled on a name for the upcoming budget rear-drive sports car, the announcement of a drop-top option lends a bit more credence to the rumor that the Celica nameplate might be brought back from the dead.

Now, the notion of a convertible Celica really shouldn't shock anyone. However, what should shock you (at least a little) is the possibility of convertible Subaru. Because, besides a few one-offs and at least one was-never-going-to-see-the-light-of-day concept, Subaru has never built a convertible. And of course, this means that the very real possibility of an all-wheel drive, 300+ horsepower, 300+ lb-ft. of torque, six-speed manual Subaru roadster exists. Where do we sign up? Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Hardtop Roadster would be cool considering the size of the car. As I'm sure most of us will agree, I could care less about a convertible option, just make the car the way its intended and screw the fluff.

Yep. Screw a vert version. If I wanted a turbo vert I'd go buy a Solstice GXP.

I would be inclined to think the cabrio version would be exclusive to toyota. I mean they may be sibling cars but they would still have to be different.
