Right, here are the rules: The car must have been released as both a hard top and soft top, and the soft top has to BETTER looking than the hard top (not just good looking, or as good looking û better). IÆve been thinking this over, and the only cars that I can think of at the moment are: Alfa Brera
306 convertible
Feel free to add to the list!

The Z3 is a bit of a debatable one, but the Z4 Coupe is far better looking than the conv.

Tough one; IÆd call that slightly in favour of the coupe (theyÆre both pretty ugly to be honest, but the coupe is at least interesting looking). The Z4 coupe is a much better looking car than the roadster though!

I can't think of a single vehicle where I prefer the drop-top.

Even the XJS? (actually that's the only one I can think of)

Not in my eyes ~ the flying buttresses never upset me as much as they did others. I considered the E-Type too - double checked via google images - and subsequently dismissed that too.

Actually I did like the XJS coupe a lot more in its final guise with the revised side windows. Much cleaner, and the shape the buttresses give the rear view was always good.

I love the XJS buttresses, e-type is correct though imo. I'd rather have a Lotus Elan conv than coupe.
