These are a few of my favorite things . . .

1. Overall drivability; that is: fast, solid, handles great, gobbles up miles in no time with little fatigue on the driver.

2. She is so beautiful it breaks my heart to just look at her and wish she were a woman.

3. TWO WORDS: freakin' BABE MAGNET.

I jumped ahead to post my favorites before reading beyond the first two posts. I won't say convertible top because that is just too obvious.

1) Torque / great acceleration at any time
2) Classic / timeless beauty
3) Solid / safe feeling when cornering

Now it is back to the top of the thread to see what others think.

Wow only 3?!?!?!?!?

1. Speed, perfromance, ride quality
2. Style, looks, aesthetics, appeal, class
3. Open Air

Well, I sort-of cheated on the 3, but just can't help myself. The best car I have ever owned. Just makes you feel great every time you get in it.
