Review: 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible
2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible - Infiniti Luxury Sport Convertible Review - Automobile Magazine

Chopping the top off a car isn't as easy as it sounds, especially when the fixed roof is replaced with a folding one of the steel variety - the panels and system of motors and hinges add significant weight. Worse, in order to get the whole mess to fit in the trunk, folding hard tops often require a bubbly, arching roofline and an ungainly, long rear deck. If you've had the displeasure of studying a Volkswagen Eos, you know what we're talking about.
