Nope, fugly! Why couldn't they just make a nice roadster version of it. The rear seats are worthless anyways!

Just as ugly as this:

On Jalopnik they compared it against the Miata and favored the Miata:

However I would rather think of it as a competitor for the S2000. Wink

I like it, though I have a 911 convertible too, so I am biased to open tops!

If I would have money to spare its ok. But a open top is heavier so you would need more power. Its less rigid as well.

I see alot of down sides to really drive it. Just for fun its ok.

It is the same story with any convertible, you give up dynamics to get open top.
Toyota cant avoid that, nobody can ... even thugh many tried.

The new Porsches come close with the dynamic engine mounts, many reviews say the difference is almost unnoticeable. Even in mine compared to my Aero Supra, its night and day.
