Exactly. Everyone talks about the "wedge" and trashes the design in the same
breath. I truly don't feel it's the wedge shape that is aesthetically
"yucky" about the TR-7, but the coupe roofline and above-the-door treatment
in general. Definitely agree the roadster is vastly prettier (but I'd say
that about almost any roadster vs. coupe: MGA, XKE by way of example... now
I'm in for it).
