Are you guys saying that the soft top, when it's up of course, provides no protection in case of a roll over?
Oh and don't think that any other typical hardtop cars are structurally safe either. There is a reason they still put roll cages in production-based race cars. Rollover still sucks, it might just suck a little less in a hardtop.

Are you kidding? It might prevent debris from getting in if it doesn't crumble. It might be a liablility if one of the support bars breaks and spears your head like a kabob!

that's funnyActually I saw a volvo XC90 on a TV show the other day flipping, the thing was mint when it came back over, Volvo makes safe cars.
I saw a dodge durango that was in a roll over on a tow truck a few weeks back the cabin didn't look too nice.
