hi both soft and hard have a metal roof but they call the soft top a soft top cause it has a vynal overlay on it the vynal one can pick up a lot of rust fron condensation so just be werey if you are looking to buy one look for bubbles and have a push on

Can you take the vinyl off? Cause I really don't like the look of the "white" on the top?

Hello, Never heard of an XB being referred to as a softtop but a hardtop XA, XB or XC is the coupe. They are called a hardtop because they have no B pillars so the roof has to be tougher to cope with the extra stress.

The only time I have ever heard of any car being called a soft top was if they were a convertible and there were no XB convertibles. As for the Hardtop part that has already been answered. Hardtops did come with a vinyl roof. It was optional on Falcon
