Default Why Down of Course!

Down is best. The car was designed with that as the ultimate goal! OF course the hot blonde doesn't hurt either

I love the silver with ecru.

When the top is down you can really see the interior.

TOP DOWN!

Your poll is flawed, you need a 3rd option.

It looks PERFECT both up and down.

It is my favorite convertible by far!

Cool Top up or Down?

Are you for REAL? Why drive a convertible if the top never comes down?? I try to keep it down as much as i can...usually till the temp drops down below 50 in the fall/winter.

For mine & the other dark color SC430's, I think they look way better with the top up.

For the white & red SC430's, they look better with the top down.

Also, I think the light or saddle interiors look better with the top down than the black interiors.

As someone said, sportier with it up. the car should handle better with it up too, especially with a custom suspention! Top Down with its nice warm and sunny out side.

Yesterday, after filling up at the local gas station and buying the wash, I closed the roof. Everyone around me just stared as it came up, and the guy next to me says "Cool".
So I vote neither, or both.....
