I'm a little disappointed... it needs the side lines... takes away in my opinion...

I couldn't give a flying eff about the convertible.

I was far more interested in the RS-R8 in the end of the article... :sm_drool:

I'm not a big fan of anything convertible. The hardtop R8 is awesome though.. beautiful handling, crisp steering, plenty of go.

That car has always looked awkward to me, its cool styling but the shape just looks wrong imo.

The only convertibles I like are vintage to pre 70/80s. people can actually look cool in them. but hardtop all the way for me too.
