How the fuck is taking a car designed as solely a coupe and chopping the roof off "the same" as designing a car to be a convertible from the start?

I was told by a Scion rep the other week that they will be available for test drives this week hopefully (for us that didn't pre-order). Anyone gone by?? I might swing by next week

fuck long wait for people who pre-ordered one...my friend ordered one and still no word on where it is as of yet....and with test driving the car i think it's stupid that you have to put a deposit down to test it out. It's not like its a high end sports car or anything..

I actually drove one on the street, because I'm organizing a VCMC event.( VCMC Motorsport Club Forums - Latest)
There is autox event coming up, there are spots for Scion dealerships & spots for VCMC members. VCMC's spots are full already,but there is waiting list.
In the VCMC event we are going to run some Works Wheels & Wedsport Wheels with Kumho V710/V70A R tires.
I'm not a good car reviewer, the following part will be boring !
The FRS I drove was an auto & I drove a manual daily......
So there was a normal auto delay when I stepped on the gas
The engine rev fast (not as fast as a s2000 nor B16a SIR), good torque quick pick up(for a 2L NA). Steering is sharp and quick, a bit slower than a Miata (Miata's steering is too fast @ speed). Steering wheel is well weighted (for Janpanese car, a bit lighter than my wife GDB Impreza, no where close to European). I didn't push it on the street, but the handling of the car is good, the feedback is very direct. Even I hate auto, I have to said the gear changing is quite fast. The suspension is nice & sporty, firm enough & not hurting your back. Brake is pretty good for a stock car.
Not much head room for me as I'm 6'1" almost 6'2". I can't fit in this car with a helmet & sitting the driving position I want. (straight & close to the steering wheel).
The seat got really good support!
Interior.... they put in their effort to make it looks good. I personally prefer ever thinner & lighter interior. A basic functional interior like Lotus Elise is perfect for me, but than I know I'm weird.
You can hear the engine sound very clear & road noise as there isn't much sound insulation. If you owned/drove a Type R you know what it is like.
It is a fun car to drive and with the great aftermarket support. I will have to drive it at a autox event to give futher comment.
Stock tires are hopeless hard rubber and stock rims aren't my style
But the car looks great with Works Emotion XC8 & Wedsport TC105N with Kumho V710 R tires
If there is anything I didn't cover let me know.
I hope to drive a manual version
Oh yeah 1 more thing the trunk is small, can't fit dead body in it. LOL

still depend on if you have long legs or not
I have long torso, a friend of mine(French) is 6'5 & I'm 6'1~2(Chinese) but the torso part of us are exactly the same.
