Tough choice between the Aston Martin and the M6.

Re: Ultimate Convertible Showdown Poll

I would say the 911 Turbo is the most complete package in this group.
More seating capacity than the AM or Merc
AWD makes it more versatile in more weather conditions
Choice of Tiptronic or manual transmission
No top speed limiter
Available track-spec rubber and/or carbon ceramic brakes, should you want it

Re: Ultimate Convertible Showdown Poll

True it has AWD, but like any other car here you'd have to switch tires to make any use of it in anything other than a rain shower.

Re: Ultimate Convertible Showdown Poll

If you buy a convertible, you like attention and you want drive a car that looks good and dont have acceleration as a priority. Aston Martin is the perfect car for the job.

Re: Ultimate Convertible Showdown Poll

Well I'm a Porsche fan, so obiously my choich would be the Turbo. But! But there's the SL63 AMG, probably the sportiest SL of all time. So... hmmm can't decide. Maybe later
