I agree, did they really even need to put a sound system in this car? I think the last time I used the CD player was last summer on our road trip to OBX NC, and that was because it rained most of the way there.
Coupe is a tigher car too, I think - stiffer - that's generally truw of any vert/coupe built on the same chassis though. And if you're looking towards performance mainly, the coupe is also lighter. But, vert is fun as well, so it's a toss up. Where in Canada are you? I'm from Vancouver and we get enough nice days. Thing is that I'm not sure if I could justify the additional cost of a vert. But if you want to look really badass on a nice day, you can get the decklid speedster style cover from saleen...
