Favorite/ Best Sports Convertible

len56 · 07-11-2011, 05:33 PM

Just dreaming here, but whats your favorite sports convertible? Price range 50k-150k

I'd be looking at a porsche 911 carrera cabrio, any other comparable ideas?

something to enjoy beautiful mediterranean sunsets from

preferably with beautiful girl in the passenger seat :P

(this is a GTS but it's got the sunset thing right)

I think the best convert you can get is the Lambo Gallardo. It actually looks good unlike all other verts ha.

^ that isn't in the right price range.... I would have to say the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is HANDS DOWN the best vert under 150k

I never liked the first gen Gallardo - I actually thought it was ugly, especially the front end. Although it does fit into the OP's price range, I'd rather have myself a 6-speed 360 Spider. It may be slower but I love the way it looks and it's scream can't be beaten by any V8, not even by the 430 and 458.

I'm talking about brand new. Of course you can get a used Gallardo for under 150.

I beg to differ. That is obviously your opinion. Me, I'll take a C6 Corvette over the Boxter every day.

Tough call between Gran Cabrio and R8 Spyder

cuban335i · 07-11-2011, 11:46 PM

^ the R8 roadster has a base of 168k. and the XKR shouldn't be on anyones short list of top roadsters under 150k lol (imo)

The R8 Spyder 4.2 is 127k. And yea I changed my mind about the XKR real quick

antennahead · 07-12-2011, 12:03 AM

I'd go used. The prices on 360 spiders is looking pretty good right now, compared to new.

len56 · 07-12-2011, 08:05 AM

huh, well I guess for me it's between the GTS and the Gran Cabrio, that is one sexy maserati

now just to get the money

also, let's play again, new price range, 50k-100k

Year's_End · 07-12-2011, 08:34 AM

I second TK's notion that first gen Gallardos looked like ass, especially the verts.

It'd be a tough call between the R8 4.2 and 911 GTS cab. Both are exceptional and have faced each other in comparos with the Audi coming on top, but I'd be hard struck to make a choice.

Bump the price range up to 200k and I'd be choosing between these two:

If the ceiling is 100 kays I'd be taking a Boxster Spyder instead. If this was my money in reality I'd take the hardtop versions instead though, minus the Boxtser.

Cyrax91 · 07-12-2011, 09:42 AM

You can easily find a used Gallardo Spyder for 150k and under btw.

I'm talking about cars that are brand new, not used cars..

Garduna · 07-12-2011, 03:35 PM

Lambo Gallardo Performante for me please

But you're not the OP...?

TK-421 · 07-12-2011, 03:54 PM

Oh and if you're disregarding the price range, I'd go with a 16M - it may make no sense whatsoever... but that makes me want it more

But just wait for the 458 Spider. That thing will be in a league of it's own.

no, but why wouldn't it be so. At least when I decided on what car under 150k I tried to keep them as new cars only.
