With the exception of Mercedes-Benz and parent Ferrari, every other competitive car uses a soft top, but we really wouldn't be surprised to see a folding metal unit. <br /><br />If reports are accurate, you can look forward to seeing the car at next year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show/">Geneva Motor Show</a>. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autoweek.com/article/20090511/CARNEWS/905119987">AutoWeek</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/12/spy-shots-maserati-granturismo-drophead-spotted/">Spy Shots: Maserati GranTurismo drophead spotted</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 12 May 2009 18:01:00 EST.
