How would you like a Hyundai Sonata convertible?

2011 Hyundai Sonata

A couple of days ago, Inside Line pointed out that a coupe version of the Hyundai Sonata would be a great idea for the Korean automaker to compete with the likes of the Honda Accord Coupe and the Nissan Altima Coupe.

Now Inside Line is speculating a Sonata convertible and says that Hyundai can look to the Chrysler Sebring for some inspiration. However, knowing Hyundai, they’ll probably set the Infiniti G37 Convertible as their benchmark.

Either way, the publication says that if Hyundai does do a Sonata convertible, it will most likely opt for a power-folding fabric top instead of a retractable hardtop to save weight. Other than that you can expect the same engine lineup as the sedan.
