I miss having a vert & would not mind having another, but this time I want a hardtop vert.
Are BMW & Volvo my only options? If so, I'm not buying either one. I should have specified I want a performance oriented car with some power. I'd want to keep it in the same ballpark pricewise, or less, as the C63 AMG & CTS-V Last edited by Magic-Man; 08-26-2011 at 12:01 PM.. |

With the exception of theft safety, there is no reason that I can think of as to why anyone would want a hardtop convertible?
The vehicle weighs more and in the case of BMW (looks really poorly and uneven). The merc SL hardtops are the only good looking hardtops in my opinion. I am glad BMW went with a softop for the new 6.

Soft top verts are more noisy inside & develop rattles. |

Why not an E93 M3? Owning a 335 is completely different to owning an M3 just in case your worried about purchasing a similar chassis.. You could always black out the window trim, most people would be none the wiser about it bein a convertible. I'm assuming you're not worried about performance?
Agreed though SL, SLK and 458 Spider are the best looking but only seat 2. |

911 cabriolet? Although... You have to spend time putting the top back on as it's not power-operated. The hardtop option is around $3k.
