Its too hot unpractical here. Also soft tops have problem where it becomes worse as time goes by. I am not sure how long this car can last.

We’ve all lived with the romantic idea of open-air driving for a long time and for me, the fabric roof is the quintessential element of a truly rewarding cabrio,” says Peter Schreyer, Kia’s new Chief Design Officer.'" Admit it's to save costs/ increase profit margins, Peter Schreyer! No one can experience open-air driving in a cabriolet unless the roof is open and once it's down, it makes no difference whether it's fabric or metal. The advantages of a solid metal retractable roof far outweights that of fabric, no matter the technology behind the fabric. A solid metal retractable roof is more costly than a fabric roof - from the cost of the additional metal, the mechanism to retract the heavier weight to the licencing cost of using the technology for the retractable metal roof (the inventor has to get paid!). Honestly, the crap these car manufacturers can come up with - do they think all consumers are stupid? What a load of rot "'“I’m convinced that the fabric roof will have a renaissance.
