5. Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
5. Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
Base Price: $29,275

One of the newest convertibles on the market, the Camaro finally went into production at the end of January after four years on the auto show circuit. Its exaggerated proportions -- it's very wide and not very tall -- keep it looking fresh and distinctive.

The structural improvements needed to keep the topless body from excessive shaking were engineered in from the beginning, and driveability is unusually good. With a base V-6 engine that produces 312 horsepower, it should face off nicely against the Mustang in stop-light drag races. And kudos to Chevy engineers for standing in the way of progress and sticking with the soft top.
