re..........
No you did said that.
It looks nice because it is white. I don't think I am getting my chainsaw out of the mort... yet.
What will the effect of not having the roof and shorter b pillar on the 8?

You'd have to think it would have a lot less torsional rigidity in the body = worse handling around corners??? Especially given some of the strength in modern cars actually comes from the fixed windows.

Would need a lot of boxing somewhere. Have owned a number of rag tops, and love jumping in others.
I know the stats would say different but my 56' A seemed to flex a whole lot less than a couple of modern rag tops I've been in lately Peugeot, SAAB (99'/00model). The MG was built with a couple of pieces of train track which everything was bolted to.
Still an 8 with no flex, a targa and about 240kw would be a nice package.

I'm gonna buck the trend here and say that white thing is FUGLY!!!
Personally, I think targa tops are clumsy.
True convertibles are always heavier and never handle as well as the lighter coupe version (think M3, etc).
I even hate sunroofs.
I'm also curious to know how the suicide door will work without a top locking point (integral to the way the thing works).
