    It's awesome! You can put it in the frunk because of the shape. It wasn't made like that by accident. It's way better than a spider to me.

    Yup, it's shaped for the frunk in case you don't want to place it behind the seats. It's not a shape with design as priority but for better storage.

    I like sunroofs because it give's the benefit of having sunshine and breeze on your head like a convertible without the insane maintenance of convertible components.

    I agree about the spider comment but i just can't wrap my head around owning a car with a sunroof that has to be manually put away . I guess if you lived somewhere with perfect weather all the time , it might be more reasonable but where i live , the weather could change in an instant and it would drive me crazy to pull over every time to put it back on . Reminds me of my old targa top C5 vette :eek::eek::eek:

    I prefer TT's to convertibles. My X1/9 had a TT, which is why like this idea so much. I can see rain coming and it only takes a minute or two to stop and put it back on.

    Really enjoyed the t tops on my old corvette. Wonder why no one makes t tops/ targas any more?
    Some so called convertibles don’t have much more open air than a t roof anyway. 488 for example.

    It may be that regulations don't make it easy - or maybe even possible - to do TT's anymore. One thing for sure, there is no complex mechanism involved that could cost big bucks to fix with TT's and sunroofs.

    The gee whiz factor of folding tops has never won me over.

    Same. Wanted to keep my cost of ownership down as well. Convertible tops can take more coins in the maintenance piggy bank compared to the sunroof.

    Me too. Although now I regret it a little, even though the lines on coupes are almost always nicer.

    I always loved yellow. That price ensures that it will be for sale indefinitely.

    All it takes is that one guy who must have an F1 sunroof car in yellow. I know because I was that guy with a yellow sunroof/stick. It really is the adult replacement for the X1/9 I had in high school and college. :)
