One more thing, as far as rarity, I've only seen a handful of hardtops here on the east coast, but I've seen thousands ( no joke) of softtops. My guess is they are much more rare due to saleabilty of convertables. The manufacturers knew this so produced convertables at a rate of 100 or more to 1 to the tintops. I guess most people would buy a ragtop just for the romantic notion of hair in the wind and all that. I sought out a hardtop mostly because I didn't like the look of a sagging softop, I like airconditioning in these hot, humid NJ summers, and in the woods here having your top down just means your Tracker and your hair will fill with bugs, tree debri, and ticks if your not careful. Besides, they are quieter ( reletively) inside, especially after you insulate them, compared to the softops, and imo a hardtop has a more rigid body structure.
