Where'd you find this guy?! He actually said, "if there aren't any bumps on the road its really quite comfortable, and just from the sporty side, if we just test it…" and then turns the wheel left and right a few times. Half an hour waiting for him to drive the car, that's it, left and right, "the controls from your brain, directly to the road..." what a hoot! 28 min in, check it out!

I want one! I owned a GT3RS and loved the car, but as I am getting older, I am looking for more of a compromise.....I think the GTS is a great choice....Thank you for the video.

anyone know what he is talking about with the window operation? do you really need to put the front windows up before you can put the back quarters up also?

If you continue to hold the roof switch all 4 windows come down after the top is put down. If you want to raise the windows you have to raise the front ones then press a small button to change the front window switches to control the rear windows.

They saved a switch (for weight savings). Instead of 2 switches and 1 button they could have put 4 switches, one for each window. Poor design. My Saab convertibles had 5 switches. One for each window and one that controlled all 4 windows at once.

You can look into the SmartTop. I know it allows you to open and close the roof remotely. I think it lets you raise and lower all 4 windows at once too.

I'm sick of waiting.....where's the Sapphire Blue with the blue top??? My car needs a twin!
