For starters, you will never get wet if it starts to rain. The 3 ply fabric roof closes and opens at speeds approaching 30 mph! The rear window is glass and it also has padding that absorbs sound for quiet rides with the heat or air conditioning on.

In this time of outrageous gas prices, Chevy has an answer for that too.
The new Chevrolet Stingray Convertible features a cylinder deactivation system that shuts down those not needed at the time. Coupled with the 7 speed manual trans or 6 speed auto/manual set up you should expect to get 26 miles per gallon on the highway.
The ride is smooth with independent long and short armed double wishbone suspension controlling each wheel.
Exterior
Obviously with the convertible you miss the sleek and sporty new roof line. This model is reminiscent of the C6 edition which may disappoint some. Any regrets about the top or front view will clearly disappear when you see this sports car's rear.
The spruced up taillights and 4 exhaust outlets stand out. As a matter of fact, the open roof accentuates the back and emphasizes even more changes to the rear fascia. The Stingray has a wheelbase of 106.7 inches and measures 177 inches total from the front to the back.
Interior
You will feel as if you are in the cockpit of a Lear Jet, save a few extra instruments. Both driver and passenger have a wrap around dash in front of them. Both occupants will also enjoy the dual climate control system.
Of course there is a multi speaker sound system and electro-luminescent gauges for the captain, I mean driver.
