Spy Shots: Chevy Camaro Convertible spotted top-down 
Originally Posted by AutoBlog.Com
GM's obviously thrilled with the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro's success, as it's pretty much owned the Ford Mustang on the sales charts to this point. Now, the retooled Mustang hopes to bounce back with new powertrains aimed at erasing any performance advantage the Camaro model has. File that battle under "To Be Continued." The other thing the Mustang has going for it, however, is that sunseekers can opt for a ragtop variant. As in, today. Chevy fans? Not so much.
The waiting game continues apace, however, as the Camaro Convertible inches closer to showrooms. The latest good news comes from Camaro5.com, where a contributor nabbed the droptop Camaro out testing with its roof down - the first such sighting. We think it's a looker, just like its fixed-roof sibling, and better still, with the top stowed, all the visibility compromises the coupe has to make in the name of its wicked curb appeal are summarily erased. This is one ride we're definitely looking forward to. For additional photos, make tracks over to Camaro5.com.

the biggest complaint ive heard about the fixed roof car is the visibility. the vert should take care of that, as all convertibles have bad blind spots, but with the top down...
that said, i dont think its horrible. not sure if id rock it, but im sure it will appeal to a large crowd. keep in mind tat the challenger doesnt come drop top, so itll be a two car game.

^ that's not true, i've seen a convertible challenger by my house since fall 2009. it's the orange one with stripes, probably a tester, but still it's out there.
edit: this one right here
even looks like my area in the background so i know i'm not crazy seeing things.

Actually I just saw some more shots of that car on Fastlane Daily and it showed front and side shots of the car and it looks much better than that rear shot. I guess the angle makes it look all wrong, but the other angles look like the regular hard top lines do.

All the concept pics looked really nice when they first came out a few years ago.
