They charge an additional $699 "dealer fee" on all purchases which brings the cost of the Roadster to $99 over invoice....but then again, every dealer I contacted has a dealer fee ranging from $495 to $799. So even with the fee the final price is still cheaper than any of the other quotes I received. The thing is, today I finally got to see a roadster in person. While the wife liked it, to me it just looks to LARGE. Compared to a BMW Z4 or a Cayman, the thing looks huge. While the measurements provided show it to be around the same size, visually it sure doesn't look it. The high butt shape is probably partially responsible. One other note...the salesman tried to raise the top to show me what it looks like when up and it jambed...not good on a new car. Will it be a problem area ?

I dunno, "fast" but for me, the roadster doesn't look right. I think you hit the nail on the head talking "butt". Something about the lines don't look right on the convertible (to me). The coupe looks miles better, the lines and sweep of the top work good with "the butt".

Oddly enough, that 2-seater is 2 inches longer than my 4-seat RSX. Go figure!
