Not personally, I've never really liked the look of them and I bet the flex a lot lol]

But it does make me want something like a 5.0 Jaguar XKR convertible.... mmm....

Don't see the appeal with any convertible to be honest. I'd much rather be in a climate controlled hard top :lol:

Well there you are, I stand corrected! Does it have extra bracing or anything?

Yes it does have a steel bar between the b pillars. In front of that a large section is cut out like a sun screen. Only the c pillar and rear windows are completely removed. The door frames and some of the roof are still in place.
