LMFAO that sti with the roof cut of looks utter pants, absolutely no way.

If they made a proper convertible it would have to be something special to tempt buyers away from convertibles from audi, bmw etc.

Not a chance.

Don't really see the point in a convertible in this country.

They don't favour folically challenged men anyway. Sun stroke anyone?

That looks pretty bad but im sure they could do it!

Be good if they could make it with a hard top as good as BMW new 3 series cars!

Based on the photoshop of the blobeye I'd say no The legacy looks quite classy though and in a different place in the market where I think it could sell.
