Well, I guess it makes more sense than the shocking Pluriel where you couldn't take the roof with you once you removed it!! IIRC the Top Gear team had some fun with that one....

.....providing they add another 100kg's of steel to it somewhere else. No such thing as a free lunch I'm afraid.

Looks nice though. Am quite a fan of the DS3 myself.

Webasto is the company name. They have been around for donkeys years making what is basically a very large fabric sunroof. These have been available to retrofit to a huge number of cars.

Big disappointment. I was expecting a modern-day DS Decapotable:



I still reckon Citroen could do something like that, maybe based on a folding-roof Peugoet, but with Citroen suspension.
