Just searched before asking this same question. Anyone found a way to put the tops down on cabrios/convertibles?

I know for sure of 2 cars that when you drive them on track the hoods are down...Ferrari california and on old Shelby Cobra. I won these last night and noticed when I tested them they have the hoods down...the Ferrari is just soooo dam sexy driving along topless 👍
Ah I just realised the Shelby has no roof so It's permanently topless when your driving it.
I'll check out more of my Cabriolet cars later but I suspect only the premium cars will have hoods down when your driving them.

The Cappuccino has the top down in the showroom but I've only driven it with the top up. No way of lowering it...

Haven't found any way to raise or lower roofs, which kinda sucks, although it would end up hurting your performance in most cars.

We need a cabriolet car club 
I remember the first time I played a driving game where you could drive the cars with there roofs down.....Dreamcast Metropolis Street Racer 👍
It's great to see at least some cars in GT5 you can drive topless...I remember when I had my old XR3 Cabrio I drove it with the hood down in all weathers lol.

Is there any particular reason why the roadster and cappucino and similar cars don't have an open top on the track? When it wasn't an option in prologue I thought it was due to memory limitations because of the driver's movements, but he moves his arms and legs anyway.
It'd be nice if they could do this.

PS3 is already pushed to its limits. It has nearly no more memory to deal with this.
It should make little difference for any premium car, with interior and driver already proudly modeled. And as mykem pointed out, it was an option in GT4 (albeit in a frustratingly limited way).
Besides, the blame for the PS3 not being able to handle it lies with PD, not Sony. It's not Sony's fault that PD programmed the game to use too much processing power on other things to handle this sort of feature (if that's even the cause). Decent physics don't take a terribly huge amount of processing to produce, either (see the low system req's for Live for Speed), so it's probably just a fault of the graphics engine.
The "such-and-such system is pushed to its limits and can't handle anymore" excuse is a tired one. It's all about management of existing resources, not the need for more.

This.
Also I doubt that the GT5 has reached the limits. It may have, but that doesn't mean that the code can't still be optimized.
The developers of Uncharted 2, arguably one of the best looking games, said that they managed to keep the processors of the cell chip some 90% occupied, but went on and said that they didn't focus on optimizing it, but rather have it atleast do -something-.
