Default World's best looking convertible ?

Had a discussion with some of the lads at work in the week about 'the world's best looking cabrio'. Needless to say they reckoned the DB9 won it hands down, one even said the F430 is to which he got asked how much crack he had induced during the previous 24 hours....good car, but the best looking ? Nah....

I kept quiet until they had decided the DB9 'was it', and the threw this into the equation



Maserati Grancabrio....and this wins by a country mile in my view. DB9 second ? Absolutely. But it loses hands down to this....

What you reckon boys ?

If we're talking classics then the Ferrari 250 GT California wins over the Maserati (but only just !)

miami vice shape Ferrari daytona, even though the miami vice car was a kit based on a corvette, corvettes are nice, or maybe a 59 caddy with the big fins

I'd second the Ferrari Daytona, even though it looks like a Rover SD1 from the front
