two domestic models enter the convertible conversation first: the Ford

So, does the 2023 Ford Mustang Convertible out-shine the 2023 Chevy Camaro?

Fortunately for fans of the Blue Oval’s long-running pony car

[{"selector":"#anim-8990b3d4-8b5c-4a08-b678-4c1a5516bd6a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

the 2023 Ford Mustang has convertible options in most trims other than the razor-

[{"selector":"#anim-5989f687-f830-48a4-a583-4702a1bf962c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The option is around $5,500 more than the corresponding coupe in the lineup.

The base model EcoBoost Convertible starts at around $33,270, and the plusher

[{"selector":"#anim-215701f2-0112-441f-a4a2-c2e022f52964 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251649252878945%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

EcoBoost Premium with a drop-top demands $38,295. At the top of the convertible

[{"selector":"#anim-616805f8-1232-4234-b0ff-3433f0ed8ec4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.248375947189373%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

the 2023 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible starts at around $48,865.

looking may hate you for it, but then again there’s no such thing as bad press, is there?

[{"selector":"#anim-40aad8c8-d500-411c-9574-bfbc4e510a30 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Looking at those numbers, it’s easy to think that the Camaro would easily monster
