retractable hardtop concept cars are more numerous than ever, many of them foretelling future production cars /
the traditional soft top convertible car seems doomed / retractable hardtops are not only fashionable, they are becoming affordable
and design studios are working on new space-earning devices / new alternate systems are still being invented too /
the awkwardly complex 1992-1995 honda civic crx with a targa roof operated by a robotized trunk lid will certainly remain
unique but the buick cielo and renault fiftie concept cars sport retractable slats which are a quite convenient solution for
any type of car / at last, fioravanti made a hit with the 2001 alfa romeo vola concept car,
which brilliant rotative roof seduced many carmakers / however the traditional soft top has not surrendered, the proof being the recent
audi a4 convertible / only the future will tell if both types of convertible roof will keep on living together or if one
will defeat the other for good
