Is it the fastest opening/closing top of current production cars?

Also, does anyone have a link to instructions for this mod?

Yes, its the fasted motorized top - it beat the Z4 by a second or two when Top Gear tested it. Of course, a Miata top you can drop in about two seconds!

PLus, someone just posted a YouTube of an S2000 beating a Z4 in the top-down race - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsHIBpe7QVg...p%2Ddown%2Ehtml

I love the Sky as a spectator but I would never buy one. The convertible top is the worst example of engineering of our times. Plus that huge hump in the trunk is pretty gay.

Its really just half-ass engineering. You have to get out open the trunk ,get in release a latch. Get out lower the roof, close the cover because now you can't call it a trunk. Then to put

If the top is in the trunk, there's no room for anything else - well, maybe a small umbrella...

You're right. WTF am I talking about? I had it backward.

Tell me that you DON'T have to f'k with the top EVERY time you want to put something in and out of the trunk! I love being able to pop the trunk while walking up to it, throw my bag in, shut it and go.

Wow... after seeing that video of how to use the convert top I about

I would have walked away from any incling of purchasing that car after learning that.

That is by far the most STOO-PID designed soft top I have ever seen.
