Topless!

Yeah, that got your attention. Looks like BRZ/FRS will go topless soon. Looks good IMO:

I almost passed the article up because it looked like a S2K LOL. To me it kinda looks like a slightly bigger Miata from the side.

It should, but you are interested regardless.

LOL? I did it for the LOL.

Personally, this was pretty predictable, but it looks nice. It's *** is too big (tall) and they should have done something with the tails special for the droptop. It doesn't look like an S2K or a Miata except that it's a droptop, and it has 4 wheels. The S2K is lower, sleeker with a longer hoodline. The Miata is a tater. Neither have a boxer. Neither are Subarus.

Looks like a Miata and S2K had a bastard child with Toyota.

I don't much like convertibles so I wouldn't be likely to buy one of these, but I do think it looks pretty decent.

Nobody said it looked EXACTLY like a S2K or Miata It has a tall, wide rear and somewhat narrower front like the S2K, but no it doesn't have the long hood. The BRZ stock already sits lower than a S2K IMO. In profile, it does kind of look like a Miata. It also recalls a bit of Aston Martin DB convertible, only on a smaller scale.

wonder how much will the power/handling/balance be affected. no top = moar body flex and moar weight to stiffen it up. then again, i don't think too many folks in the convertible market worry about these things much.
