A topless version of the MINI Coupe Concept, the MINI Roadster loses two seats from the current convertible but gains 8.8 cubic feet of trunk space and a new multi-function display.

Not quite official but with gorgeous official-ish pics, the 2010 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is a retro-styled, gullwing beaut with a 6.3L V8 that’ll send it 0-60 in 3.7s; it’ll go on sale in 2011.
