I too underestimated the upside of the convertible and I too love the PRHT
.
Anybody else remember how old this idea is? Almost that exact design was
floated as a concept cat by Mazda back in 96. I have the Car and Driver
calendar page (Oct 5, 1998) up on the wall in front of me! It was called
the 1996 Mazda Miata M Coupe.
