while it's being mentioned, i personally prefer the moonroof/sunroof/t-top/
targa thing as well. I simply don't like cloth tops, nor the extra insurance,
nor the S**** color matching alot of companies do. If i chose a convertible,
it'd be:
a) Mazda RX7 II. I just like the way they look. It'd have to be in black,
with color matched black top(they look good!)
b) VW cabriolet. They do a suberb job of matching colors too. Also, last year
for them! {***COLLECTOR'S ITEM****}
c) mustang GT droptop...they look ok too.
i know this doesn't help, but i thought i'd do it anyway...:-)
good luck to your wife.(and you :-)
