Are more folding hard-top coupes on the way?
Hi,
Ford, Renault and Volkswagen all had four-seat hard top coupes, but they all seem to be gone now. Is this a function of product cycle or other factor? Are any of them likely to come back?
Cheers and thanks,
Philip

How much more for the AMG C 63 Cabriolet?
You did a story on the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 Cabriolet recently. Do you have any idea of the likely price premium for a cabrio over the more "basic" C-Class Coupe models?
Also, Mazda will be introducing a targa top version of the MX 5. Again do you have any idea of the likely price difference?
Thank you
