Chrysler could become the first automaker to bring a four-door hardtop-convertible to market, according to the latest issue of Motor Trend. Chrysler is expected to unveil two new vehicles in 2009 for the 2010 model year. They include an new 300C and a new Dodge Charger, both built on an updated version of the LX platform. A four-door convertible with a folding hardtop roof is expected to be a part of the new 300C lineup. Magna Steyr will build the car, according to Motor Trend. The magazine also said the 300C will get an updated roofline and grille, but did not specify what would change. Recently, Automotive News said Chrysler would not build a 300C convertible due to budget constraints. In December, we brought you spy shots of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible, which also has a hardtop. It, however, has just two doors.

Either the frame is sufficiently rigid to support a center post for the rear doors to be hinged at the front, or they will have to be hinged at the rear, as on the Lincoln Continentals.

Wonder how that would fare in a side impact.

As cool as it would be, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Chrysler seems to be batting this back and forth, and I’m thinking it will die before 2009 due to cost.
