    Would've liked to see the top drop all the way flush, under a hard tonneau cover, and two-seat only. I had a Metro convertible for while, and tho somewhat slug-like, it was still great fun, and by far the comparetivly lowest-cost drop-top ever.

                 BCNU,

    A recent issue of Road and Track (sorry, don't remember the date) also has a few pix of the cabrio.
