Living in sunny Florida, a drop top is the only way to go. Now our temps are getting to the point where the top is never up, and those starlit nights are amazing! I chose the black, but when I got mine in May, there were not a lot of color choices for us. My choices were black, silver or wait. I chose black, as silver doesn't hold up in floida, and waiting was completely out of the question.
I find I pay closer attention to the 350Z roadster and the Audi drop tops more now, and find myself being more critical of their design flaws more than I did before. Both those cars are beautiful as coupes but they fell asleep on the top design, in my opinion.
