The new Subaru BRZ sports coupe is such a good-looking car. But what if Subaru decided to launch a convertible? What would that look like?

Here’s an unofficial answer to that question. This speculative rendering shows that it might not be a very good idea to drop the top on the BRZ anyway. It looks kinda creepy and slimy! It would work as a two-seater roadster with shorter wheelbase, but in this spec, no.

The thing is, cars that started life as a coupe and then turned into convertibles have never been as good as the ones that were born as a convertible. That’s why a Porsche Boxster is better than a Nissan 370Z, and a Honda S2000 better than an Audi TT.

Toyota and Subaru definitely have many many plans for the new 86 family. For instance we know that high-performance versions of both cars are already in the works. Let’s hope making a convertible version is not among those plans.
