I want that iPhone holder! That cheap "iPod" holder that scion gives out right now is completely useless!

i like the white interior and the center dash, but.... i hate the convertible... hate... hate... hate... it isn't like a miata or an s2k, those were built to be 2 seater convertibles... The GT86 was built as a 2+2 coupe.... ughhh... i hate this convertible look....

I swear, if the US version comes with fogs and those headlights i'll stab somebody.

Love it. Considering how many people has been going on about how it'll be a chicks car... it doesnt help that the promo video has a chick driving.

Ill buy it anyway.

wasn't there an interview that said the chassis was originally designed with a convertible in mind? If so does anyone have a link?

I honestly don't understand all the hate. This car was built as a convertible, verified by people who engineered the platform, not just sat behind their computers in B.F.E. who statistically have never driven the coupe and guaranteed statistically have never driven the convertible. So... chill the fuck out, if you don't want it, don't buy it.

The presence of a drop top will not remove your man card. As a driver of a "girl car" I will continue to drop the tops of women all the while maintaining my masculinity. The removal of a roof opens opportunities and at no point closes doors. This car was not only built without a roof but it was built with a roll cage in mind so regardless of your racing alliance you are covered.

TL;DR: Deep breaths, convertibles will not hurt you.
