ok guys, I'm a little late posting the pics, but I've been pretty busy this week. So busy I missed the press release on the Z convertible. I didn't get to the Javits until 3:30pm and by that time most of the reps had left for the day. Good news is I managed to get up close and presonal with the Z convertible. Bad news was there was no Nissan representative available to demo the convertible top. All I can say is, WOW! Absolutely beautiful, down to the last detail. Surprisingly there were no other Z's, not one single coupe!

I did manage to run around and take some pics of other cars and concepts. Pretty cool stuff this year guys.

More pics to follow... here's the first picture taken!

Lighting was a bit off, but notice the detail in the rear window divider, a 'Z' is etched into the window. Nice touch.

BTW, the Z convertible model is a:
SilverStone
18" wheels
6-speed
Nav
2-tone leather, slightly different design, burnt orange/black.

Door open. Better view of the 2-tone seats.

A view looking from the front.

Here's one looking down from the back, you can see the 'Z' etching in the glass.

CORRECTION ON THE SEATS!
It's BLACK CLOTH, with burnt orange leather, but not the same leather we have in the coupe. Sorry for the mix up. I'm no materials expert by any means. Peace. -m

Nice pics Macguru

Might be a stupid question, but what's the purpose of the glass divider?

MacGuru

Thanks. I still have more of some of the other cars. It's nice to run around the show without anyone stepping on you. Plus I was able to climb into the Z, not to mention a few other cars.

Here's one of the INFINITY TRIANT... or I would like to refere to it as, THE BEAST!

MacGuru

How about a set of these rims on your Z?

MacGuru

Absolutely one sweet car! Nothing more be said...

Is it me or do the lines of the car look better on the Silverstone droptop?

The pics of the red and DB convertibles that were floating around made the back of the car look huge... "bubble butt" as someone described it... but the SS does not seem to have that effect...

Probably because you havent seen it at the same angles and/or the quality of the pictures were much much better.

Sad the convertible lost the look of the coupe... The roofline is now gone, and the rear end looks too flat and not as distinctive.. I think i'd get a TT drop top over the Z drop top, or the Boxster..

MacGuru

I've still yet to see the Z with the top up. But I have to admit, it does look bettr in person (just like the coupe). Here's a better look at the window partition. I really like the styling of the roll bars into the body. Maybe they will offer a hard top version for 2006? i.e. Merc SLK

Do they have LED's on the front markers?? It looks like it from the photos.

Also I just love the way Silverstone looks on the convert!
