A convertible 3 would look as bad as that VW Eos...pass.

Is it me or does the bottom half of the car look taller, the doors?
It's an optical illusion because the roof has been shaved.
The doors appear "normal" in the un re-touched version.

Actually, to me it looked like the original picturehad beenstretched a bit to make the car look longer. The doors are pretty high on our cars... Ford-like (or these days Chrysler), if you will.

Someone on one of the other forums "chopped" a sedan into a convertible a few years back, and did a pretty good job of it too. Even made it into a 2-dr by deleting the rear doors and elongating the front doors slightly, which isn"t too hard.
I know I"m gonna be hated for saying this, but it reminded meof an elongatedGeo Metro convertible. Those high, rather flat sides. W/Othe roof, the car seems to lose a lot of it"s character.

They didn't even try doing a good job with the photoshop, the lines on the hatch don't even match up!
