As far as I know the only Honda Convertible is the S2000, and the rest have Sunroof options. I think the only other car in Honda History with something different was the Civic Del Sol with a Targa Top.
I'd love to see a RWD CL coupe to go with something cooler than a simple sunroof, like a hardtop convertible or a sliding panoramic glass roof or something. Hmmm... like the panoramic glass rood idea. Maybe give people something a little more than the G35 coupe, but a little less than the $65,000 SC430 from Lex.
...but um, back on subject: Is Honda planning on making any kind of open air other than a runroof?

The early S cars S500,600,&800 were also drop tops.
But I agree with Double-O we need a convertible Acura may be an RSX or something on the drawing board that nobody has seen yet.MB,BMW,Lexus,Audi all have an upscale convetible models; that might be a direction for Acura after the '05 RL.

Many of the original "S" cars were also convertibles.
Honda also sold a very cool little mid engine/RWD convertible in Japan called the "Beat" about 10 years ago. It was absolutely tiny, and rev'd like a motorcylce. A cool little car. I wish I had pic's and more info., I'm just pulling that from recollections of my time in Japan.
yes, i was gonna mention the beat. it's a really cool little car (i need to arrange a drive in one some day). It's mid-engined, sports a 650cc 3-cylinder with ~75hp in a package weighing ~750 kg(?). It came out in 1990 or '91 and had pretty cool styling for a "K" (or is it "Kei") class car. these are those microcars sold like crazy in japan due to their huge tax breaks.
