No you're not. I currently drive a Mazda Miata and if they had made the Miata in a coupe configuration I'd be driving a Miata coupe.

No convertible at all. Especially a 4 seater. It looks like an old woman's car then. In dealing with convertible tops every day and repairing alot of them, it's really turned me off about convertibles in general. I've considered getting a hard top for my S and just deleting the convertible top.

I wouldn't buy one, but I'm sure it'd sell.

Yea they look way too long with the top down. I only like how 2 door sports coupe look with top down. The only thing with 4 seats that looks remotely good is like a 911 cabrio but those back seats are basically unusable and not even seats.

Oh yeah, it's totally, High School Girls car.

Targa's are the exception. My mk3 was a targa and it got some looks with the top off.

Naturally, it was a sexy beast.

No convertible, but a targa would be an awsome option!

No vert. 4 seater verts are for old-tennis-playing ladies.
