I really like the look of a canvas top vs vinyl. I dunno. The owner of the shop just bought another car from me, so I may try on the price again..

You have vinyl.. Besides that link, I can't think of a good example. When I used to work on Jaguars, they have a canvas top..

Wanna talk about flex...I once drove a late 80's Saab 900 Turbo convertible and that thing was AWFUL...you could physically feel the front of the car turning before the back...ive driven TONS of fox mustangs but never a fox convertible...i really hope they arent nearly that bad

T-tops should fall into there somewhere too just under GT Hatch I think.

Yeah, i dont know how good a T-top would look on a new s-197, but some kind of removable top (Non-vert) would be really cool!
