Normally I might agree GM could do it...but then you look at the amazingly complex manual process for the Sky and the Solstice. Compare it to a Miata, and it's just kinda silly.

The power top is an option but I have never had one that did not have it. It works as well as a Boxster top

The Solstice/Sky are fun cars but that top is just awfull!

David, the question on my mind is did you remember to wear a 14-karat four-finger ring that says MNY$, and what style of undershirt were you wearing during the test drive? If it had sleeves, then that might have been the cause of the inconsistent steering, and not the leaf-spring suspension.

Brucelee, Adam and 1JB...IM JUST KIDDING !

Well, when you drive your Boxster do you wear a skirt? It's a total chick car!
Stereotypes are great!

I think the C6 and the 987 are the finest of their breed.

No need to demean either.

Tech note-the stock C5 and C6 both tend to rear end hop a bit. I understand their are aftermarket fixes for this for under a grand.

PS-It was interesting to see the Corvette C6Rs at Sebring yesterdayt passing the Ferrari and Porsches in GT2 class like they were sitting at a light.

The difference in those cars must be massive.
