Double checking that I understand the 2016 configurator properly.
Sounds like the 2016 Base Convertible with Manual has an MSRP of $68,100 and comes standard with the Switchable Active Sport Exhaust.
And the 2016 Base Convertible with Automatic has an MSRP of $69,400 with the Switchable Active Sport Exhaust being a $1,600 optional extra.
Is that right? Makes the Manual Convertible sound like a bargain...

 

Correct. The 16 manual base is a gem, particularly with the good seats.

I believe the base for 17 is getting stripped, so that it's ~$3,000 cheaper. Only thing missing on the base is an ECU tune and limited slip and you've got the sportiest F-type configuration.

 

Agreed.
