We'll many are going to be hit the open road this weekend Gary -- salute editor of -- card report dot com Lee joins us now.

With a look at some of the new convertibles that are also gonna be hitting the road this summer.

Jerry you the best car guy I know you're so passionate you almost make me like.

Those plugging cars and I welcome yeah these felt a lot -- about a little plug in.

Yep -- they're probably become produces update what do you have for us.

Three very different cars this year all -- this summer the first was the Fiat 500 C this is the return of the Fiat brand in the United States and come back with -- most retro car at the little Fiat 500.

They've got a convertible version of it not a typical convertible.

It's just the top of the roof kind of rolls back like a lot of those older European cars in the fifties and 60s20000.

Dollars to start which -- -- -- little -- that is the lowest price.

Convertible you can buy.

It's cute idea and I get -- -- that I have a pair rose.

Yeah I argue that -- doesn't look like he'll be able then that's that's actually a lot really isn't and is.

Let me fun to drive I wanna say -- a little bit off the convertible thing for -- -- that Fiat -- -- -- -- -- try to bump up to forty miles a gallon so that they get another 5% -- Chrysler.

There are you familiar with that it was just thirty miles per gallon rating right right the big thing is the little alert cars don't do was well in the EPA testing it it just kind of really works better for compacts and midsize cars it's just a way to test and -- there's a car like this gets 38 on the test.

But we'll probably do better for you had been a larger car in the real world and I tell you -- -- -- 120 miles not slowly up the Hudson River valley and we're getting thirty to 33 -- ago combined so it's a fuel efficient car but you know everybody needs -- those numbers now they want to for a gallon mark.

Let's talk about the car that it Tracie burns were sixteen again that she would certainly try and convince some part parents to get her that of course is that Camaro for re confronted -- yourself when.

Don't think -- American -- kids can send them back right.

This is the much anticipated Camaro convertible is actually supposed to be out two years ago but got bumped because it.

GM's financial problems so they had to put an offer couple years finally coming to market now.

Camaro is outselling the mustang in the Dodge Challenger pretty -- the last couple months since this is gonna continue -- that the -- think America going forward over the other cars is looks you know be the best of the -- actually prefer the -- -- overall up software as bad.

But it's just got such curb appeal that it can't be selling like crazy and the convertible is just gonna and -- that -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Have been injured in Georgia and -- -- just to get it right and that as the best place to go to -- rated or did you actually think so do we save the best for last we saved the -- for this is the engine Nissan Murano cross -- -- it is -- basically SUV crossover convertible.

They showed up at the LA auto show couple years ago -- this is a concept.

And everybody is -- what that heck is that.

Fixing you know they're making its very large that's what it's got going forward you actually fit four people in this unlike just about every other convertible on the road.

-- 48000 dollars they're targeting it towards older people I think this will be the queen of Boca and a couple years and in -- life.

See anything that have been driven it yet but I do like the packaging I mean most convertibles are basically two years with a couple of -- shelves in the -- this thing can actually fit for people without us that's screaming from.

Eddie white sap hasn't been -- are right and that bar I don't think this.

If I can take one of the three I I'd pick the Fiat if he gets right up my -- smart really it Deanna and I.

They're smart I like that I thought like go folks -- it was nice it was big you know look look bloom you know you know if you just cruising down the beach is probably the when you -- -- -- be.

-- I guess we'll have a lot of fun -- -- one of the most and it enviable jobs out there.

We appreciate it and some governors have fun it's we -- of those car.
