The "I'm not gay" thing
You're fine with that - that's a men in convertables (without big engines) thing. The flip side is the turning up in a 911 turbo - which is the "I've not got a small willy" thing.

Anyway. I saw the A3 Cab a couple of weeks ago and was pleasently surprised. I normally hate cabrios based on "normal" cars, but it actually got me thinking about one myself for next year. All in all though, it would probably have to be the SLK for me too.

Alternatively, save yourself a bundle of cash and get yourself an MX5. I'm coming over all Pistonheads here, but the general feeling seems to be that it's the best handling car (ever!), and while it's not a prestige badge, you'll get approving nods from real petrolheads. You can even get a folding hard-top version, which still gives you a lot of boot space and will keep the noise down a little more (and is better in wider, and in London form soft-top slashing cnuts).
