Another option would be to get proven technology like a Prius and have it pimped. There are plenty of shops that could do this - probably cheaper than directly from the manufacturer - whenever they get around to it...........

The Saab is still a just concept car, right? I do agree that having something proven "pimped" makes more sense. If one could get a successful result, that is. All hybrids I know of are 4-door cars, but convertibles are supposed to be 2-door models, right? (Maybe I'm too much of a traditionalist in this regard.) I own/drive a Prius and while I think it is a great car I can't imagine it as a decent convertible.

Here are pictures of a salvaged Prius that was turned into a convertible, so people can decide for themselves.
