'The 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder Combines A Hard Top And Sunshine'

Technology!

Also, Mary Chapin Carpenter fans will recognize the music as an instrumental of "He Thinks He'll Keep Her." This video also features one of the most forceful gearshift demonstrations in MotorWeek's history.

MotorWeek Theater is our showcase of some of our favorite classic reviews from public television's finest motoring program. How does this video only have 7,930 views? It's a hardtop convertible of awesome.
