How many Toyota Paseo convertibles were made?

The factory count is zero; Toyota never sold a Paseo convertible as a production model. Any Paseo convertibles you encounter are either show-car concepts or aftermarket alterations, not official Toyota production.


Background on the Paseo line


The Toyota Paseo was a compact two-door model sold primarily in North America during the 1990s. It was designed as a sporty, economical derivative of the Starlet/Tercel platform, and Toyota did not offer a factory convertible variant of the Paseo. The model existed in fixed-roof form throughout its lifecycle.


Clarifying the convertible question


In car-enthusiast discussions, you may see references to a Paseo Cabrio or a convertible concept. These references generally refer to show cars or proposals that never reached production, rather than a true production Paseo convertible. There is no confirmed production total for a genuine factory Paseo convertible.


On aftermarket and concept discussions


Occasional reports or displays of Paseo-based convertibles in shows or articles are not indicative of official production. Without credible documentation from Toyota, the existence of a factory convertible Paseo remains unsubstantiated, and any such variants would not be included in standard production figures.


Summary


Bottom line: there were no factory Toyota Paseo convertibles. References to convertibles pertain to concepts or aftermarket work, not an official production model.
