AWD or convertible coupe?

if you had a choice to see only one of these two options added to the coupe lineup, which would you rather have?

AWD all the way. A converitble top does nothing for performance.

Well, I'm sure you all know by now that the hard-top coupe is on the way...

AWD: Not as fun as RWD, but safer and performs great on tracks and daily driving.

Convertible: Nothing more but unnecessary weight... and a tan.

My preference is obvious... RWD>AWD>Corvertibles

It feels weird comparing these two, since they completely play different roles

well, it stems from a talk with the manager at my dealership...

he confirmed for me a convertible next year, considered an 09 model. he also hinted at a possible AWD coupe. He couldn't and didn't know if they would be one and the same. So I wondered what I would want more if I could only have one of those two choices. I'd love both in one car, because that would be the only car I'd need ever.

I have enough of a tan already

The SoCal sun is different from the NJ Sun

yeah, that's for sure. i miss the sun about a third of the year. working indoors in a place with no windows sucks. especially in the winter. when you go in at 8, it's dark. when you leave at 4:15, it's dark. it's depressing.
