I must be too modest or its something much deeper, but lets just leave it at that

There will always be two camps here. It is simply personal preference. Not sure why you are asking our opinions...make the decision on your own!

Look at the back windows, and the extra hump. This is all with the top UP.
When the top is down, the look is different again. Still a compromise of the classic 911 aesthetic.

i think it's funny the way some people think about being exposed in cabs. 
i can't say i ever even think about other people looking at me when the top is down.
they would have to be pretty close to get a good look and even then most likely they are looking at the car and not the ugly mug of the driver!
unless you got a supermodel in the passenger seat!

I think the newer 911s look better as a coupe. The lines are perfect. But I love cabs so the ideal choice would be to get the 997 coupe and get a cheaper Porsche cab, maybe a boxster or 968.
My next P-car will be a 968 cab, so sexy!
But thats just my 2ct
