    Would it be a Volkswagen of sorts? I'm thinking Golf convertable...
    I know VW had both engine layouts in various cars, not sure if any specific one model had both though.
    Nope, not a VW, or even German

    Trust me, you'll travel far and wide to find one as good as the one EPM posted. I hate modified NSX's, unless it's Mugen that did the modifying.

    most of them are stock its just a website that imports them from japan directly for you. The one epm posted is a sweet one was just showing more ones you can import yourself.:cool:

    I know the Renault 21 had both longitudinal and transverse engine options, but i've never seen a convertible one. Or is that what you meant by a canvas roof?

    Don't ever remember seeing the 21 with any type of canvas roof, be it conv or vinyl covering. Sounds French though from the description - 2cv?

    we have a winner!

    The used a modified 700cc 126p engine mounted longitudinally (running backwards) as well as the transverse mounted 900 and 1100cc engines as used in the Seicento.

    Michael Schumacher's first car was a Cinquecento, he later put his name to a Seicento special edition.

    I thought of the 126 first, and a little digging around on Wikipedia revealed the correct answer. :D

    Ok, what am I thinking of?

    -5 door hatchback (or van)
    -Longitudional engine with gearbox mounted ahead of it
    -8 million or so produced
