    Coupe/cabriolet split on 911 seems to be 50/50 IMO. Here in North Carolina seems there are more cabriolets.
    You can always buy hardtop for winters if u get a convertible. Also, when I test drove 911s, the body of coupe and overall ride seemed stiffer than convertible.... something I liked.

    Tough call. I've had a coupe, a targa (1973) and currently a cabriolet (2004). I dearly love the convertible, but. . . . I live in an area where top down season might be May to early October with a day or two in April and maybe November. So from that standpoint the extra 10k or so for the cab over the coupe is not worth it. Now that the car is out of warranty I am semi-paranoid about the top mechanism breaking and sticking me with a 4 figure repair bill. Rearward vision is compromised out the right rear corner of the car.

    I am leaning towards ordering a 2011 or trying to find a 2010 that has most of what I want. Absolutely torn between a coupe and a cab. One day it is the coupe, the next it is the cab. Maybe I'll just get the coupe and a used Miata for top down days!!

    I also live in NJ and have driven a 89 Cab. for pleasure since 1994. Every once in a while I consider getting a Coupe, I do think they have nice lines...but somehow that thought always seems to get lost. The fact that I never drive with the top up must say something...best of luck.
