There are too many practical reasons why the coupe is better than the vert. But from an asthetic point of view, I prefer the looks of the coupe over the vert. I'm sure someone will also chime in about the weight differences....

The problem with a vert is the Jersey weather. Too cold in the Winter, Spring is too short(PLUS all the POLLEN that will coat your interior YELLOW), the Summer has too many days that will roast your head off during the day and except for a short time in the Fall(BEST season)the amount of times you'll drive around with the top down, you could count on one hand!

Convertible/T-tops. It wouldn't be a DD, so the weather would have no impact. Only come out on sunny days, so it'd be fine. And I go with the top down every time I head out on the current vert. I've gone with the top down when its 2pm and 92 degrees, and 10 pm and 35 degrees. It's fine.

I like the looks of the concept vert much better than the coupe, but I'm really not generally a fan of verts, so I'm not sure. I'd probably have to see what it looks like with the top up too.

i really want t-tops. i've had t-tops in all of my f-bodies except the '69, and i miss them when i drive it. just something about open sky above you makes the driving experience all that much more pleasurable for me.

I agree. Not sure I want either. Gotta have the T-tops like I got now. Still waiting to see if the car comes out right.

Wait so they are not going to have T-Tops option on the new maro? I couldn’t imagine my car without them. It is simply the best in the summer.

Hardtop all the way. Convertibles, t-tops and sunroofs are just places to leak, allow body flex and let people break into the car. I've been through a few convertibles and they aren't fun in the middle of the summer with the sun beating on you. But the body flex is the real downfall of t-top and conv cars.
