See, that just proves that everyone's opinion is different. (You comment saying no real sports car should have a roof). Many people I know consider sunroof's, convertables and the like (does anyone make a T-Top anymore?!) to be one of the most "un-sportscar" things you can do - they lessen the rigidity of the car. But then, many people say that the Miata is one of the best roadsters out there. Does it get the best numbers for salom or accelleration? No. But the car is more than the sum of its parts. But like I said, I'm a car guy in general. I got all giddy today when I found a prototype Lincoln Navigator in the parking lot (I've seen a lot of prototypes around here). I would never own an SUV and think that the Navigator is a waste of money. But I like seeing what is out there - especially design wise. I would kill for a ride in an 70's European Escort too. It is not all about race numbers, etc. Hell, I even rode in an Aztek to see what it was like!
