View Poll Results: If Toyota made a convertible FR-S for the US, would you buy one? | |||
No I like coupe version of the FR-S better. | 133 | 39.82% | |
Yes I think it looks great; plus a soft top should help keep the weight and price down. | 44 | 13.17% | |
Maybe, could we get a hardtop convertible as well like what Mazda does with its MX-5 Miata. | 67 | 20.06% | |
No I personally wouldn't want one because I already have a coupe, but would like it built for others. | 90 | 26.95% | |

I know the whole point of showing off a convertible is with the top down, but are they ever going to post a damn picture of it with it closed? It might look ok down but usually IMHO convertibles look like complete shit when the top is closed lol

Agreed. Those buggy wheels look ridiculous. What is it with manufacturers these days that think bigger wheels makes it better?

Interesting how the white interior gives the car a much more expensive appearance.

Convertible version should be a 2 seater. If they kept the boot space and kept the length of the car the same that means its still going to be uncomfortable to ride in. Why not delete the back seat and give it more boot space?
