9 out of 10 convertibles don't have that hideous roll bar.
Ferrari doesn't do it.
Porsche doesn't do it.
BMW doesn't do it.
Audi doesn't do it.
You get the point.
That being said.
There's a REASON why none of these other brands do it.
Wanna know the reason why?
It's UGLY!!!!!

Roll bar up with windscreen in place.
For those that say the windscreen doesn't work, you're wrong. With all 4 windows up, and the windscreen up, it's like a cocoon in there. I can drive it on my 45 minute commute to work like that and don't look wind blown at all.
GOD, I can't wait for it to warm back up. The poor thing is just hibernating under a cover hooked to it's battery tender.
I tell you, the first 60* day we get, I'm dropping the top on that sucka and hitting the freeway. I'm gonna freeze my *** off, and couldn't give a crap.

This link has bounced around a bit, but it is the best roll bar deploy I have seen. Watch between the seats at about 58 seconds in.
