I don't understand the allure of a convertible sportscar. Calling it a 'spyder' doesn't make it any less ghey. Seriously, I don't get it.

If you're concerned with the marginal performance gain of a fixed body, then stick with the coupe until the track version comes.

I care more about driving experience (fun) than the car's aesthetics or tenths of a second. So for non-Scud/CS versions, I prefer the Spiders. I like the open-top feel (not like this is your all-weather vehicle) and sensory overload (sound) and this version has a folding hardtop to boot!

Now, Scud/CS vs Spider, I'll take the former. They deliver the experience in a different way.

So would you take your convertible in minivan or SUV format?

Keep the coupe. You live in the UAE. You will only be able to enjoy the cabrio for 2-3 months maybe in the year!

If I liked SUV's, minivans, or convertibles, then yes. Yes I would.
