Drop-Top Registrations Drop For First Time Since 2003

Automotive News reports convertible registrations, which grew steadily the past several years in the United States, slumped in 2007, dropping 8.6 percent. It's the first year since 2003 there's been a drop in registrations of vehicles designed to let the sun shine on in — even including a 1.2% drop for both No. 1 New York and the 2006 leader, Los Angeles compared with the year before. Apparently the economy hurts everything — convertible sales included. Will the market for 'verts drop even more in 2008? Guess we'll find out about a year from now. [via Automotive News (sub. req.)]
