[QUOTE=Jager;404054]I found the reason why:

Is your convertible damaging your hearing? -- ScienceDaily

Been wearing ear plugs while riding my motorcycle for years. Hearing loss from years of exposure to wind noise while riding a motorcycle is well know (and mostly ignored) and shortly after getting the Boxster and driving it at speed I thought to myself that this is as bad as riding a motorcycle without ear plugs.

Having said that I am not sure this a driver of lower sales. Convertibles are a luxury and frankly there are just fewer people today that can afford this luxury then 10 years ago. I don't see that improving any time sooner.
