Toyota Prius Convertible by NCE / Winding Road

Roof off, clumsy look results

NCE, or Newport Convertible Engineering, is going all out to please the green brigade by not only supplying them with a Prius - one of our time’s greatest known “green” vehicle – but also letting them look up at the sky to see blue. Blue, not green. The rendition reminds one of cars converted by ourselves in the backyard during a form of depression of some sort. Remember VW’s Golf 1 cabrio of the 1980s? Worse still, it looks very much like Chrysler’s misdesigned interpretation of PT Cruiser cabrio.

NCE hasn’t done badly before, but this time we have to lodge a slight objection. Perhaps you are one of the buyers who ordered this car? Tell us why you did it and how much it’s cost you.

To be fair I don't remember any good looking 4 door convertible, unless you look way back to the stuff Hitler used to get carted about in.

This is as bad as the PT Cruiser Cabrio, and I didn't think anyone could make something that grotesque!

hmmm it's sure damn ugly, but Toyota don't give us a good reason why we should pay so much dollars for this piece of metal. As we know it, we only pay Prius only for its hybrid technology, nothing else. I would get one if I just hv to fork out only at Yaris price :)
