Unhappy

I made this comparison based on the cool new shot Amy posted:



What's wrong with this picture is that the "summer" car is actually driving in the snow, the sweet thang that should be in the vert is driving the coupe and the vert is being driven by a grumpy old guy that doesn't appreciate our beloved Amy's actions :scratch:

To be fair, you should compare photos of the ragtop with the top down.

It kinda looks like Coletti in the rag top maybe taking it for a final spin? Eh?

I think the vert looks like a notch back with the top up. I like the coup look's like more fastback to me.

The thing keeping me from the vert is that it has to be my daily driver and I don't want to put the top up, so driving in the rain and cold would be troublesome.

I agree, but it still looks good none-the-less

The vert still is nice and everything. But I purposely didn't wait for it because I like the look of the coupe so much better. The looong rear window, the quarter rear windows just make the car. As someone else said...The very just takes away from the whole fast-back look of the 05'. It also doesn't look as sharp as the coupe does... if you as me JMO. It looks more of a cruise around on a Sunday afternoon car, just doesn't look right with those short windows. Again JMO.

Plus, I live in Ohio where the four seasons are: almost winter, winter, construction, and spring. So if I got the vert I'd be able to use it a month of two and then I'm out of luck.

My dad's comment while looking through the brochure was, "Where's THAT option in the order guide?!"

We have the same seasons here in Wisconsin!

I love driving my vert with the top down on the rare warm days in Almost Winter, and it is awesome in Spring to pop the top and feel the wind blowing through your hair. Construction season is awesome, I have the top down 5 or 6 days a week. It's only in Winter that the top doesn't come down very often...

Don't let the cold weather 4 or 5 months out of the year steer you away from a vert. They are a blast.

That dude is so ticked. Look at his big frown face

I've always liked coupes better than verts.

I have never been a vert fan, always prefered the coupe. The vert may look good with the top down, but, I am glad I got a coupe.

The reason the driver in the vert looks pissed is because you can't see his wife nagging at him....slow down, look out for that car, you should have taken an automatic so I could drive it, omg I'm gonna die......

Wait a minute, that sounds like my wife

The convertible loses something that makes the hardtop unique, the fastback roof. But to each his own. If someone gave me a convertible I'd take it. But opinions are like , everybody's got one.

I'm going with the vert. I actually like the looks of the coupe better and wished the vert could somehow had the same lines and rear quater window. Just like the feeling of cruising with the top down.

Wife loves to go topless . Says she feels like she did when she was a kid riding horseback.

Guess this will be considered as a "My Little Pony".

I think the vert looses some of its personality. It looks more... ordinary (for lack of a better word).

But, there really isn't anything like top-down driving. If you like it, it is still a great looking car!
