I love the car and the concept....but (there is always a but) I think the top looks too dainty to repel a serious downpour. I don't want a 50k+ motorcycle when it rains. Porsche screwed the pooch with the top design in the first place. The Fiat top unlatches the exact same way as the Boxster, except after the unlatch, you simply grab the lightweight handle and drop the top behind you. no cable ends to snap, no complicated synchronized motors, less weight...

You also have to hand it to the genius of Porsche marketing, they delete the radio to keep her lean but the price is still higher... love that! What's next? Fender delete package option, $1500.00 lol...
