I agree . . .

As I posted in another forum . . .

kind of iffy on this one (this post)

I am not sure I like this model. I am not big on the slanted glass. It makes me feel like you would be driving an old 60 or 70's era Caddy. Without the roof, the lines look strange, almost like a limo. They should really think of redesigning it to be more natural looking like the Diablo roadsters with the sliding top. Even the Diablos lines looked strange with the top on. It kind of had the "lip" at the rear of the roof line with the top in place. I think I would have to stick with the orginial hardtop model.

I would be more excepting if the lines look a little more natual in the way the Modena Spyder. All though I think targe tops such as the NSX, Del Sol, Supra offer the best of both worlds (ie functionality, protection, light weight and look). I have never been a big fan of convertible cars. The 360 in my opinion looks the most natural as a topless performance auto. I would rarely choose a convertible model over a hard top version of the same car (ie M3 vs. M3 topless or 550 vs. 550 topless)
