I can't get the video. I get nothing but a blank internet page when I click on the link. Anyone have an easier way to access this thing?

Hmm...looks a bit odd with the top up. I guess I will have to see it in person to make a final judgment. But, I still like my coupe.

First pic with the top up; terrific post. I think it looks kinda cool with top down. Not so much with top up.

I agree with Rat's Z, looks awesome with the top down, very sleek. But, with the top up... Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live my purchase

PHOTOCHOPPERS-

We need an expert photoshop user to put the nismo spoiler on this bad boy with the top UP. I think if you give this car some visual "weight" in the back it just might do the trick! I think even the little "flip" (standard spoiler on Track) spoiler would make a world of difference.

Bring It On Photochop Gurus!

The top operation looks REALLY sweet... but I think I'll be sticking with a coupe

Thanks for the great vids and pictures!

Sweeeet PICS! I like it! Qestions:


1. Does the top have an inside headliner?
2. What is that black ovalish thing between the "hoops" and 3rd brake light?

3. Did you ask your friend if Nissan plans to add a detachable hardtop?

Please let me know! Thanks!

Default Convert

Wow... That thing is just ugly. No wonder they have not been showing it with the top up! It looks like it has a humpback. I know they couldn't match the long sloping roof of the coupe, but they sure as heck could of made it look a little more proportional when up.

It looks great down... Up, it is FUGLY!
Looks like a cross between a Fiero and a Miata

it looks horendous with the top on very cheesy.

hardtop should have been the only option.

but im not a convertable person i prefer the harley on the open road.
plus anyone who buys the convertable will many be using it with the top down obviously so if you like cool.

I think I'd prefer t-tops or a targa top.

I agree with most here... top down, it looks awesome! Top up... UGH!

I was seriously considering ordering one, but with the ugly top up look and the fact that I probably will not be able to get a Brickyard one, I'm having second thoughts. Guess it will come down to how much I expect to drive it with the top down.
