All great cars, incerdibly tough choice

Benz SL600- From C&D's stats, this car has a 0-60 well under 4.0 seconds, and if I were to buy a droptop, Id also want the hardtop.

911 Turbo- Simply a great car, but for the price i would buy a GT3 and a 5-series

360 Spyder- Great looks, but not quite as quick as the others (hehe, not many thing faster then a ferrari...)

Aston Volante- Yet again, i like the non convert more. Probably has the nicest interior though.

XK8- not really a fan of this car, it just doesnt match up to the competition.

Aston Martin is like the king of luxury cars in my opinion, but when it comes to the convertible, you can't beat the hardtop Mercedes Benz SL line. :)

Well, honestly it would be a tough-ass choice for me, but I think I would stick with the DB9 Volante...But I must repeat that it's a very tough choice since all these cars are nothing short of FAN-TAS-TIC!!!

I have to say I'd go for the Mercedes SL65 AMG, the power and torque that car lays down is just amazing. Also the styling isn't bad at all. Only problem is I wonder if it will have more details to make it stand out from the other SL models, oh well as soon as I hit the gas people would know the difference.

Also I'm just wondering, why did you use the XK8 and not the XKR? Doesn't really matter because I wouldn't have chose either in this comparison.

The XKR is not a bad car at all, and I've recommended it to several people who I think would fit well with it, but it doesn't stand a chance against the Mercedes Benz SL series and the Aston Martin, lol.

I wouldn't have a 911 Turbo Convertible on the basis that the coupe is that much better. same with the Aston and Jaguar.

However the SL was designed as a convertible- not a coupe, hence is the best convertible out there if you want to cruise. But I'd still have the Ferrari....
