Default Is there a hardtop convertible in Toyota's near future?

2008 is the last year for the Solara convertible. It's nice for a
ragtop, but it also has the ragtop limitations, especially limited
visability.

Has anyone heard what (if anything) might replace the Solara? I'm
hoping, almost assuming, that the replacement will be a retractable
hardtop design. Toyota doesn't miss the mark very often, but they seem
dewfinitely behind the curve on a hardtop convert. Yes, Lexus has the
overpriced SC model ... but I'd like to see something that the rest of
us can afford. VW has the Eos that looks mighty good, but I've been
prone to buy Toyotas and I'd prefer not to change. Pontiac, Chrysler,
Mercedes, BMW, Volvo and others also offer a retractable hardtop
convert. Why not Toyota?

Dude, there's always the Lexus SC4XX. That is a retractable hardtop.

Start saving, they're only ~$60,000...
