When you see it listed like that, it does seem a lot!

I don't see a problem with it though, something for everyone and variety is the spice of life as they say

I guess it really boils down to.....

• 2 or 4WD?
• Coupe or convertible (or something in-between)?
• How 'focussed' you want it be? S, GTS or GT3?

I guess there are some restrictions though like you can't have a convertible 4WD GT3 but the list seems pretty good to me.
