Coupe Top Storage Question
Since my local dealers don't have any C6 coupes in stock, I'll ask here: How and where is the coupe roof stored in the back of the car? On my C5, if we took my wife's wheelchair with us, we had to drive with the top on or leave it at home. Does the C6 top store somewhere other than latched to the floor? Maybe vertically or latched to the hatch?
It's a shame that my wife's transport chair fits in my son's '95 Honda Del Sol trunk with the top back there, too. It even fit's in the current Miata's trunk (barely, with some paint left behind). I really want to buy another vette, but I don't want to choose between topless travel or taking the wheelchair. Thanks!

You should try the convertible. I am (just) able fit a wheelchair in the trunk of my C5 with the top down. I would carefully measure a convertible C6 trunk or actually try your wife's chair in one at a dealer (since chairs vary some, especially folded). Another option for the coupe is to fit a hitch (Reese Hidden Hitch) and modify the bicycle carrier that fits in the receiver into a wheelchair carrier.
