I've been asking for an EV convertible for 10 years, but this is $200,000.

I ain't got that.

The MG isn't out yet and has no plans to be sold in the US.

The Tesla started at $110k (last made 12 years ago, too) and only made 1800 for the US market. Because of that, the 12-16 year old cars actually sell for MORE now. A cheap used Roadster is around $120,000.

Same... So far, closest thing I've seen is next-gen Porsche 718. I imagine it will be pushing $100K though, so if used prices halve 4 years after it's release like they did with the Taycan, maybe I can justify... Hopefully my 205k mile 2017 Miata holds on til then. Or if they want to do a PHEV Miata, I'd be good with that. I drive a shitload so the fuel savings of either a PHEV or BEV is a big appeal for me, but I'm not willing to sacrifice open-top fun and minimalist nimbleness... Maybe it's a contradiction, but I hope eventually it won't be.
