Because the top contributes so much to the rigidity of the body, (even the rear window contributes!) that a "2x2 roadster" would have only a shadow of the handleing of the current body. And handling is really this car's forte.

The 'rumor' has been around since 2001 ... a huge part of the chassis stiffness is due to the center tunel, it's perfect for a Vert verson - Yamaguchi RX-8 book. This topic comes up VERY often, search!
When it does come out, I'll be the first on the list to buy one.

BTW my dog is a 150 lbs pu$$y. Cats HAVE kicked his ***. A jack russel made him role over and wet himself. I am so embarrassed.

We had a Rottweiler like that. He was HUGE. Our lil' mutt used to whup on him, though. He'd always scare off the other neighborhood dogs with his deep-assed, super-loud bark. Little did they know he just wanted to play...

A convertible would be nice if its a hardtop, doesn't affect rigidity and doesn't add weight... Not possible unless someone come up with better design or special metal then price would increase. Bottomline: No good
