Why you like/chose your vert. vs. coupe
I've read why everyone likes the coupe in the "who takes their top off forum", but what about verts!!!
For me= velocity yellow + Florida sun

Just purchased a 2007 vert in December and really have not had a lot of top down time. I am looking forward to just sitting in my vert, lowering the top and when I need to put the top up I do not need to leave the car, just put the top up and on my way. If my opinion changes later on in the spiring I will post it. (No storage, no instilation, no seperation,)

Also got my vert in Dec. I decided on the vert because there's nothing like cruising at night in the summer with the top down. Oh yeah, and my girlfriend thinks it's sexy.
I like open air driving and just don't like the look of the coupe with the top off and the fact that you lose all of your storage space.

I'm almost exclusively top down ... really like the lines of the car with top stowed, visibility, sound ... an "in-touch" driving experience that you don't get any other way.

I never considered a coupe. To me, sports cars are manual transmission convertibles.

Coupe for me!
I chose the coupe so at a stoplight i have the rear window protecting me from someone sneaking up from behind / grabbing me in a headlock and carjacking my Vette!
Besides i was too cheap to buy a vert.

Verts are beautiful cars with their tops down. But, they look like at beautiful car with a rickshaw top when the top are up.

Coupes are for 'wanna bees - spring for the vert - you'll never regret it.
