MCEB it is standard...Due to the fact that the Targa top doesn't fit in the trunk!

Good looking car, interesting soft top.

Wouldn't trade or sell for what I have now.

Press release information calls the Soft Top, optional.

From the paragraph, The Making of a Coupe:
Quote:
The coupe’s roof is fixed aft of the B-pillars, with side windows and a rear liftglass for access to the cargo area. The roof panel is easily removed from the passenger compartment, and an optional soft roof cover stores in the cargo area. A home storage case for the roof panel will be offered through GM Accessories.

hm..

Does this mean the '08's are the last of the all-soft-top Solstices???

Is the SKY following suit?

I wonder if the seats go back further or recline further for taller drivers.

Hmm...Different than what I heard...But A press release is a press release...wonder if they mean optional as in not perminantly attached...(You have to attach it...It stows away in the back)

THE GOOD NEWS...I can finally pick up 2x4s at Lowes in a solstice!

Nope Mike .... optional as in you pay extra for it! As in look under the GM Accessory tab when you go to order.
