As a substitute for a full hardtop convertible I genuinely like it. Saves a bunch of space and maybe even weight…maybe? As much as I like it I am not afraid to label this a gimmick. It is flashy for now, having the same kind of top that comes on a 911 Targa for way less, but I’ll take my chili without peppers thank you very much.
