Default Anyone seen the convertible roll bars extended?

As I understand it, the convertible has roll bars of some sort that will hopefully auto extend if you accidentally become inverted.

Just curious if anyone's seen these extended in real life - either in tragedy or even just in the shop. I plan to duck and roll in any event - I'm sure that will keep me perfectly safe.... but was just curious about them

Never heard of this. I doubt these cars have that capability....

Ah - I think you're right - looking around more it seems it's the X150 added them. Guess I'll stick with the tuck and roll. Explains why I couldn't figure out where they were!

The only thing rollbar-wise I've seen are the add-ons in Die Another Day (why oh why did that movie have to be so terrible):

I really want the gun for heavy traffic, however.
