I'd be able to hear my radio on the highway with the hardtop!

If Mazda can do it, Honda can do it in their sleep.
Now if they decide to bring one out is another matter.

If you get rid of the soft top system and put in a pure aluminum hardtop system, I'll take that in an instant. It will make the car look way better as well.

PASS!

hardtop convertibles are for people who could care less about how the car drives but more how the car looks.

The miata top goes up/down in < 15 seconds I believe. There's a video of it somewhere, looks pretty damn sexy to me.

I think I can spare 20 seconds out of my life each time I need to use the top. The time it takes to put it up or down is not what determines whether or not I put it up or down.

I can sure as heck spare 12 seconds. That's almost as fast as the S top now.

IMHO - the vertible HT - adds a nice versatiiity element to the MX-5.. add a vert HT to an S2000 structure/build/engine/drivetrain and I'm in....for that matter add some HP and suspension to the vert HT MX-5 and I'm looking at it even closer as a possible next ride...
