Warren Brown and Lou Ann Hammond chat on www.washingtonpost.com, September 23, 2011

We’re back from Frankfurt. I drove an Audi TT RS, Chevy Sonic and a Toyota Plug-in this week. Ask me questions about them.

Warren and I compared notes of the questions people had asked before we left and we had your question on the list.

I didn’t see any convertibles that were new to the market under $40K. The VW Eos is already on the market.
Here are some convertibles to consider;

Audi A5 convertible
Audi TT convertible
VW Eos convertible
BMW 1-Series convertible
Lexus IS 250C convertible
Nissan 370 convertible
Volvo C70 convertible

I think Volkswagen had SIX up! concept cars at Frankfurt. :)
Volkswagen Up!.Volkswagen e-Up!, Volkswagen eco-Up!, Volkswagen Up! Volkswagen cross Up!, and the Volkswagen GT Up!.
I heard the Up! was going to launch in 2013
