Well, sometimes asking others helps you to get a picture of how it will look. I like to ask others what they think. It doesn't hurt.

I agree with you. This is the time to ask all the questions you might have before you make a purchase. It never hurts to ask someone else's opinion. That' s why we are all lucky to have this site to exchange ideas.

That porsche doesn't look like a porsche. The lights are just awkward. I wouldn't buy that one.

That's right. I am so happy to have a site like this. It helps a lot with all kinds of things. Better then asking a dealership

Get a retractable hardtop, then it looks good with top up or down.

Thanks, you asked what looks better and I'll say the coupe, unless you track, nothing really beats top down driving.

You say: "What looks [more] better? "

Is that your concern? the looks? what others see? heck... save money, buy a Hugo with a 911 replica plastic body and traverse the boulevard to be seen.

For looks: Cab with top up - I say coupe looks better.
Cab with top down - Cab looks better then a coupe.

For practical use: Only car - I would buy a coupe.
2nd or 3rd car - I would buy a Cab.

Why not go for a Targa then....if you want to have flowing air above your head and you like the looks of the coupe.

Targa is the perfect compromise.

But you get that in every 911. The sunroof.
