I think any supercar qualifies as a cool convertible, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, show me an uncool supercar convertible(from the last couple of decades).
Ferrari California. Just not that cool.
Is there a "cool" convertible?

All of these cars look great, some absolutely fantastic, however when someone gets in and drives them they instantly become incredibly uncool. Its just the convertible law.

Ferrari Mondial convertible.
Agree, it's a horrible underpowered thing and the rear seat are only suited for legless midgets.
I don't think that there is such thing as a "cool" car, period, really.
Cars are something which it is accepted in the mainstream that you'd like a nice car, but i know absolutely nobody that would be impressed or think that someone is "cool" based on a car. Quite the opposite to be honest, my wife for example sees anything too showy as the height of awfulness. (I disagree but then i am a car geek, and a general geek, so i cannot judge whether something is "cool" or not). A good example is my direct neighbour with a bright red convertible F458, he looks like an absolute chump driving it. I love it obviously, but it is very far from cool and my wife thinks very lowly of it.
And back to me, i dont spend anything on cars really, but i really love convertibles. I currently have an E-Class (requirement for more than 2 seats) Cabriolet and really love the car despite having had it for ages. I struggle to know what to replace it with really bar a newer model of the same thing, or perhaps a BMW 6 convertible.

Funny really. I think that Supercars and Hypercars are absolutely uncool. A good GT is cool. Supercars and Hypercars are for kids top trumps figures.
Mind you, the car which started this line of thought - the DB7 - I would class as a GT, not a supercar anyway.
Goes to show, we're all different.

I knew your username rang a bell - I used to read evo.
I stopped contributing to EVO back in 2015 but the username stuck.

Any four seater convertible isn't cool, they look funny with two headrests sticking up behind. It has to be two seaters only
Completely agree.
If “cool” is measured by boy racers egging you on to gun it from the lights but enthusiasts showing genuine interest at forecourts, shows and stuff then my Z4M was quite cool. Cool or not, I miss it so much and massively regret selling it but at least I toured it around Europe a few times and used it how it should be:
