OK, there are many folks on this forum who are die-hard “Convertibleist” (like my new word?) and will drive top down in any weather. But there are many other Miata owners who like their hardtop in mid-summer and/or the dead of winter. To that second group of owners, this top could be useful and fun. Kind of a top down view and "feel", but dry in the rain, even at stop lights. Or maybe toasty warm when it's 20degrees outside. OK, so in the summer it might get hot -- well, how is that any different than driving top down in the summer? You still have to (1) where a hat if you are... ah,er,um… "folicly challenged" like me, and (2) have the air-conditioning on to provide a least some cooling to your feet.
I’ll grant you it’s not for everyone, but I’d guess that folks who like their hardtops, might find this one… interesting. Of course, I have no idea how much it costs, so that could definitely limit its appeal.
One last thing: Did anyone notice the eMail address on that site? Blah,blah,blah “Mark52”… that isn’t our Mark52, is it?
