Default Roadster or Coupe? Which one would you choose

I was just curious as too how many of us crossfire owners would have chosen the roadster over the coupe if they were released at the same time. I like the roadster but to be honest I would still have gone for the coupe. I just think it looks better than the ragtop.

I'm still checking which one has the best product yet. If you go to the other forum on tech and mods you can see informative comments about the Lambo doors.

I'm dying to have one...... Lambo rocks!

LOL ! very well put... Michigan's weather can be harsh... unless this person lives in Cali... I would worry about that!

The Crossfire coupe looks DIFFERENT then all other cars... the Roadster just kinda looks bland to me now...

I think the roadster looks great except for a few too many cutlines around the rear (with the tonneau cover, spoiler, trunk etc).

BUT the coupe is cooler because it retains that oh-so-distinctive roof.

Both are neat....the coupe is neater and will probably be the rarer car in a few years.

Yep, I agree...the coupe's distinctive lines are lost on the roadster. Too bad...as a Cali girl, I do miss having a ragtop, but my XFire is wayyyy more fun than my Miata ever was. No regrets here.

I would take the roadster, but that doesn't mean I don't love the coupe. I'm just a convertible kind of guy. There isn't ANYTHING better then cruising down the Jersey shore in a convertible. Seriously, nothing is better than that. Nothing.

I'm in CA and would take the coupe in a second over the roadster. I don't like convertibles and without the distintive ghetto booty with the badonkadonk butt, the car loses its appeal and looks almost like every other rounded convertible like the audi tt, boxster, lexus, etc. Just my 2 cents.

I'll keep my coupe. I never cared for rag tops. I never was very fond of the cloth or vinyl covered hard tops either. :? I do like the look of the roadster with the top down and I could be interested if it had a folding or removable hard top.
