I really love this car! I was wondering is the top going to be cloth or removable hard top?
Shouldn't be hard with bolt ons to get this number with a NA ecotec.SmokinSolstice said:I think hard top would be awesome! I only wish that it would be 200hp to compete with the RSX type s and Eclipse GT and Mazda 6s.
I read in an article that when VW released the Concept "R" at the car shows a while back. They were thinking of putting in a hard top because it didn't cost that much more to manufacture and it add more perceived value to the car. Now they are aiming at BMW and Porsche but I think the same principles hold true. Put a folding hard top on this car and it beats the Miata.

Now come on guys, what car do you see on the road with a folding hard top? None under about $60k. If pontiac did surprise us with something like a folding hardtop, I might consider this car instead of an Elise. ...well not really, but I do love the Solstice :smile
Maybe I can convince my brother to buy this car. Shouldnt be hard!

According to Autocar Magazine, Mazda has a huge surprise up its sleeve with the new design thats due in autumn 2005. A senior Mazda source confirmed that the MX-5’s rear end has been redesigned to accommodate the shape of a folding metal roof. Having two roof designs should attract those currently turned off by the security and refinement sacrifices of a cloth top, without alienating the cult following built up by the current car over the past 15 years.dav8or said:Put a folding hard top on this car and it beats the Miata.
