A coupe for rainy/snowy days - and a vert for sunny days - good idea - that way you'll never have to raise the top on the vert ever again

Big congrats Steve... the only problem I see is that now you got a lot of C6 guys (like me) thinking the same thing. "Life's too short" --> what a great sales pitch.

That sales pitch works! Back in 2004 when I approached my wife about getting a C5, I used that exact same phrase and it worked!

I doubt Steve used that for Patty, he surely meant for himself. Not all men need a women's approval to buy a car
