I think it's because you don't see as many clean convertibles as you do coupes and GTs, they're all beat or stock so people don't know what convertibles are capable of looking like. A good example of a clean conv is stangin' here on the board.

I must admit, I do sometimes miss mine for weather like we've had recently, but I don't think I'd ever buy another one for these reasons:

Flexy
Twisty
Leaky
Heavy

But this is just my opinion, and in no way do I speak for all. As a matter of fact, I think I'll be using the pic you posted and my new screensaver for the week. [patriot]

I don't think it's fox verts in particular, but verts in general. I have never been a fan of verts in general coupes and hatches/ fastbacks just have cleaner lines, but I love boat drops and old school deville with dual benches are sick

Most people on forums seem to prefer coupes, as for me as long as there is good weather and I can drop the top on the Cobra I'm happy!

Not a fox but I love my vert,

I have a 98 GT Vert, it was my first vert and daily driver.

Very cool car in the summer!

top leak when you washed it, not a lot just little drips, but annoying
Super COLD in winter mornings,
Loud wind noise on the highway speeds
No Trunk space,
Back seat useless

I just thinks coupes are over all better, and even more when they are daily drivers.

Yea, I just finally saw it in person this past weekend. It is pretty clean! I'm sure he won't mind pics of his car posted up. I'm trying to tell him to lose the luggage rack and to slap some chrome ponies on his [Cool]
