OK, I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I see convertible and I see "girls car". Especially in the little Bimmer or Miata.
I'm just sayin'.........

**the SL's are the exception, and maybe a Carerra**

Not at all, a lot of people think that. Personally I think convertibles tend to be more uncomfortable, loud, hot, etc so I can't see more women liking them than car guys.

But really, it is hard to beat a winding road, with the top down on a summer night, during a full moon... bonus points if you listen to "Moonlight Drive" by The Doors

I'd really prefer a convertible that attracts women than a man-car that attracts men

At my last autocross the C Stock Miata posted fastest time of the day for any stock car. That included late model porsche 911s and 250 hp subies with four wheel drive, big engined camaros and what have you.

Now is that a girlie car?

If you still say yes, I don't know how to help you!
