They do look nice, but I'm just not a big fan of rag top convertibles.

Yeah the rag top does look a bit weird, not bad looking with it down tho. People have also made some convertible Grand Prix'*. Never saw a pic with the tops up, but they look good with the tops down too.

I like the Grand Prix, not the Monte Carlo.


Now, these are amazing...and never made EVER! GM wanted to sell them since the Beretta used to pace the Indy 500 was a vert. They never passed rear impact testing though, so GM gave the unfinished prototypes to car schools. Why is that awesome? MY STEP DADS SCHOOL HAS ONE!

I need to figure out a way to steal and/or buy it.
