2012 Porsche Cabrio.

Porsche has delivered with its new convertible the same advanced experience that critics have been singing about regarding the coupe. It isn’t like they had to. Based on the 911 Cabriolet demographic, instead of flying us to all the way to Gran Canaria, Porsche could have held the launch in Monaco, with a drive route from the Casino to Marina, where we’d celebrate our 1.2-mile jaunt partying on a superyacht with slick-haired, Ray Ban-wearing waiters and Junoesque, zaftig women with strange accents and impossibly high heels at the ends of impossibly long legs.

But we’re glad Porsche didn’t do that, and instead gave its all to shrinking the already-small compromises one makes for choosing the open air. The new 911 coupe has redefined what that car is. The convertible didn’t just remove the roof, it has rewritten a few definitions of its own.
