1. Mazda MX-5
Production of the third-generation MX-5, code NC, began May 17, 2005, for delivery in August, for the 2006 model year.
The exterior styling resembles the original design while adopting a clean, more muscular profile and some design elements to reinforce the family ties with the Mazda RX-8. Unlike the update from NA to NB, which was mostly a nose/tail/interior change, the NC shares no components with the NB, except for the side-panel turning-lights on European-spec models.
2. Volkswagen EOS
The Volkswagen Eos is a coupe convertible from Volkswagen produced from 2006. It is the successor of the Volkswagen Cabrio, and also Volkswagen's first production sports or coupe car since the Corrado, which ceased production in 1995. The model name is derived from Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn and wind.
Prior to the production version, the car was shown as the Concept C concept car at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. The production Eos was presented in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with the North American introduction at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January, 2006.
3. Pontiac G6 Convertible
Pontiac introduced a coupe convertible version of the G6 at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. The G6 convertible began arriving on dealership lots during spring 2006. The starting price for the GT trim level was $28,490; while the GTP started at $29,990. At launch, it was the most inexpensive retractable hardtop available in the U.S. market.
4. Volvo C70
The new C70 model was launched on 13 April, 2006, sharing the Ford C1 plaform used in the S40. This vehicle, designed by John Kinsey and built by Pininfarina, is a coupé convertible which features a three piece retractable metal hardtop that can raise or lower in less than 30 seconds. The new C70 replaces both the current cabriolet/convertible and the coupé absent from Volvo's lineup since 2003. For the first time, the C70 will be offered with a normally-aspirated gasoline engine, as well as diesel engines with variable geometry turbocharger and common-rail direct injection.
5. Mercedes-Benz SLK280
R171 represents the second generation of Mercedes-Benz SLK. Compared with the R170, R171 is larger.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class is a luxury roadster built by the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz since 1997. The name was chosen to reflect the company's intentions for the car - that it be Sportlich (sporty), Leicht (light), and Kompakt (compact). There have been two generations of SLK cars from Mercedes-Benz.
6. BMW Z4(E93)
The BMW Z4 is a rear-wheel drive sports car by the German automaker BMW, known as the E85 in roadster form and E86 in coupe form. Production started in 2002, and thus replaced the BMW Z3. The design addresses many criticisms of the Z3; the Z4 is larger, more powerful, and has a significantly stiffer chassis. It is built in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Initially, the Z4 was available only as a roadster, but in 2006 a coupé version was officially launched.
7. Lexus SC 430
Lexus showcased its new sports convertible, the SC 430, at the Paris Motor Show in 2000, and the car entered production the following year. Power was provided by a 4.3 L 3UZ-FE V8 engine with variable valve timing (VVTi) mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. This engine was the same model as that found in the UCF30 Lexus LS. The SC 430's V8 could produce 280 hp (208kw) and 430 Nm of torque, allowing the coupe to go from 0-60 in around 6 seconds.
8. Cadillac XLR
The XLR is a luxury roadster sold by the Cadillac division of General Motors and is assembled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is based on the same Y-body platform as the Chevrolet Corvette. The XLR uses the Cadillac Northstar engine rather than the GM LS2 engine found in the Corvette. The XLR also has its own unique styling, interior, and suspension, and has a power-retractable aluminum hardtop. The engine is Cadillac's 4.6 L Northstar tuned for 320 hp, mated as of the 2007 model year to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
9. Mercedes-Benz SL550
As the new millennium approached, the SL was a decade old and customers were turning to more modern cars like the Jaguar XK8.
In 2001, an all-new SL (initially just a 5.0 L SL500 version) went on sale, boasting the "Vario-Roof", an electric folding steel roof which had been seen on the smaller, cheaper SLK in 1997. A 5.0 L 302 hp (225 kW) V8 was optional, with a 5.5 L AMG V8 appearing in 2004's SL55 AMG. V12 engines are available in the SL600 and the limited-production SL65 AMG.
10. Chrysler Sebring Convertible
With the 2.7-liter double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 24-valve V6 engine (standard on GTC, Touring, and Limited), Sebring Convertible is more than just a pretty face. Its awesome power plant kicks out 200 horsepower while providing 21 city / 28 highway EPA estimated miles per gallon. Flexible-fuel compatible engine accepts conventional unleaded gasoline or E85 fuel.
The 2.4-liter 16-valve 4-cylinder 150-horsepower engine (standard on Sebring, shown at right), delivers plenty of zesty propulsive fun while getting 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway.
