Yeah seems like I would see some chick with her terrier riding in her lap and all her gfs in the back seat.. Definitely should of left it a coupe, and definitely should of left it a 2 seater. I understand it might sell better, but 4 seats and convertible is just tacky. Dont know why I feel like that but they have always bothered me (unless its an oldschool caddy, then its pimpin 
). Now its a toyota solara with a few facelifts LOL
Although I have no room to talk about the dog part, as I frequently take my dog out in mine.. German shepherd / boxer so its ok!

Hmm, unless it absolutely nails the handling forefront, enthusiasts may not readily embrace it, but it is broadening its appeal so that's always a good thing. Much like the miata, I have a feeling that this will appeal to primarily non-enthusiasts who want a fun car to let the hair blow but has trust issues outside of toyota, i.e. women.
But in all honesty, I wish they would offer a sunroof with the dang car. I've already given up on a turbo motor, but at least a sunroof. A few a more ponies

This thing can be had in an automatic transmission so it's probably a smart move to broaden the appeal of the car.

It didn't work with this car's predecessor, the S13 240SX. Not as good a sporty 2+2 as the coupe version, and not anything like as good an open-top roadster as the Miata. I think it will be just as pointless and irrelevant as the 240SX convertible was. Represents time/money/engineering that could have been invested in something truly cool, like a cab-rearward 2-seat coupe version => modern 2000GT!
