Default S2000 one of top ten cheapest convertible

Based on MSRP, from newspaper article:

1. Chrysler PT Cruiser, $19,995

2. Volkswagen New Beetle, $21,865

3. Mini Cooper, $22,000

4. Mazda MX-5 Miata, $22,658

5. Ford Mustang, $24,495

6. Toyota MR2 Spyder, $25,685

7. Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, $25,744

8. Chrysler Sebring, $26,145

9. Toyota Camry Solara, $27,020

10. Honda S2000, $33,465

I thought the Crossfire would be in there. Is it really that expensive? New S2000 can be had for slightly lower than $31K.

Considering that there's only about 10 more convertibles all-in-all... then no I don't think its cheap... mid-range?

Ugh. I hate it when cars like the MRS, Miata, and S2K are lumped in with other vehicles based solely on [technically] being convertibles. They are a different class of car for a different kind of driving. The rest of those are just ordinary commuters that had their tops chopped off as an after thought for more profit.

The Saturn Sky will also drop it down.

MR2 drops out, but that still puts us at #11.

I agree ... with the additions that should be made to the list, the S2K is among the least expensive of the top ten, or so, convertibles available.
