Add to that the Toyota MR-2, Nissan Sentra SE-R, and so

Well, there is always the cheap-convertible crowd, which
already accounts for probably half of the owners. Even if you
aren't in love with the mystique, a driving convertible
car that looks nice for $3000 is going to have some fans,
maybe only until the first failure though. ;>
