Ahahahaha! I was waiting for the punchline at the end. That was great! I agree, for a 2-seat vert... get one that was designed to be one... not a coupe with the top lopped off!

Probably the most simple, yet self rewarding comment they made while reviewing any car on that show.

Yup

Makes perfect sense.

Now, would you reckon the converse is also true? That coupes that started out as roadsters aren't as good as coupes designed from the ground up as coupes?
