it seems as if the top to that one was a little more out of place then all the other pics from all the other reviews.

Edmunds usually does not push the cars which means the convertible might still get to 0-60 faster than the regular coupe. Regardless, you were rite in your original post. Anything under the regular coupe time would not make sense.

I don't like the way the car looks with the top up. In this pic it actually looks like it's about to start putting the top down. It does not look lined up. The window where the kink would be doesn't look like it lines up to the drivers window.

I clicked on the link and I take it back, they did the Stone Interior right this time, its got Graphite Carpeting. I'd take MW w/ Graphite OR Stone.

I saw one in my neighborhood while walking my dogs this morning. Just like above, with dealer plates. The seams do not show up like that in person. That must be a product of the photography...

It's much better looking in person. But seems kinda long...
