The R8 still looks too much like the TT even with the chop top. Hard tops are better cos noone sees driving about, you guys do know what TT stands for (well acording to me) - Total Tit!!!!

Some one who wanted quattro with a soft top perhaps? Or someone who can't afford the RS4 convertible.

As for the R8 I will reserve judgement until I see real picts

The R8 is already too soft in my opinion and a convertable to me just looks like a big TT.

It looks slightly better in spider form, than in fat TT mode(coupe).
