If you're a fiend for clean air, then Newport Convertible's match of the Toyota Prius with an electric convertible top is your dream ride.

Which idiotic marketing person came up with this idea? Take a car that's suppose to be green and make it unaerodynamic and add weight in the form of extra strengthening beams and such? And it looks ugly!

Oh wait just read it.. someone did it themselves. It reminds me of the convertible people carrier by topgear.

I agree with all the above.   But I am sure Toyota could make a really nice convertible around the Prius powertrain if they chose to.

The convertible Prius might come out looking like the unfortunate victim of a nuclear meltdown, but their convertible FJ Cruiser is actually really, really cool.  I wouldn't mind a drop-top FJ, in fact...  :thumbup:
