SANTA MONICA, Calif. -

With the season to drive a convertible now in full swing, TrueCar.com discovered automakers are discounting these models through rebates and other incentives by as much as 12 percent.

“More manufacturers than ever before are offering vehicles with a convertible option for consumers to choose from,” noted Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends and insights for TrueCar.com.

“The prices for convertibles can vary from $20,000 for a Fiat 500C to over $1 million for a Bugatti Veyron Convertible,” Toprak added.

Site analysts put the spotlight on several convertibles priced much lower than $1 million from a mix of domestic and foreign OEMs. Each vehicle included in the chart below has a combined fuel economy of at least 18 miles per gallon, while prices range from just above $22,000 to near $56,000.
