The stainless steel tubular bumpers gleamed like the paint work. The roadster's lines, a cross between a 1930s Buck Rogers' spacecraft and a 1999 Apple iMac, were stunning. This is a car that gets a thumbs up from every vehicle on the interstate that comes alongside and one that attracts a crowd with questions at every shopping center stop. The Borg Warner 5-speed manual shift is effortless, the analog dials canted towards the driver, are simple black on white and easily read, and the engine sounds like Caruso. Well, yes and no.
Storage is non existent.
If the top is in the trunk that's it. There's no room for even a soft overnight bag which suggests how this car will be used. On a Sunday afternoon for a trip to the lake, the beach or the mountains by a person who has a more sensible car for regular use and who can afford a marvelous toy, and who appreciates what mere mortals can engineer. And when you have this beautiful car for a week in your garage beside your small Lexus, you sneak a look at it each night before you turn in then, then as if guilty of infidelity, you pat your regular sedan and hurry off to bed.
