Ford Mustang Continues to Rule Convertible Competition
Nothing captures that carefree, summertime, out-for-fun look better than a convertible. It promises soft breezes, sunshine and adventure -- even when it's just parked at the curb.

Considering those attributes, the identity of America's best-selling drop-top should come as no surprise.

"The Ford Mustang convertible is the No. 1-selling convertible in the U.S.," said Robert Parker, the car marketing manager for Ford.

It's been that way since 2004. And this year, the Ford Mustang convertible continues to gallop past its competitors by better than a 2-1 margin.

According to the latest figures available from R.L. Polk registration data, sales of new Mustang convertibles hit 12,829 though April, easily more than the Toyota Camry (5,990), the Pontiac G6 (5,525) the Chrysler PT Cruiser (4,781) or the Volkswagen Beetle (3, 881). Read Article

Certainly a more intriguing choice of car than the Chrysler Sebring Convertible, but I'm not so sure over the Pontiac G6 Hardtop Convertible.

The Mustang Convertible is nice, but I have to say the the Pontiac G6 is way up there, too. Until I rented one for a few days in Atlanta, I didn't think much of it.

ONLY IN THE US - it probably sells nothing around the world
I saw like 40 Mustangs driving around on the Big Island and those people only want to show off - their RENTAL cars!!! Ridiculous!

-- has the author ever ridden a bicycle or motorcycle? I guess looks are in the eye of the beholder, but we all know what kind of "driver" seriously considers buying a Mustang convertible. Two-wheeled summer transportation is infinitely more fun to me than any drop-top.
