A lot of car enthusiasts think the Roadster is ugly...
I just bought a 2004 Chrome Silver Touring ZR (with the 18" stock wheels). So far, all I have received is compliments about it - and I think it looks way better than the coupe - especially with the top down.
Even with the top up, it looks lower than the coupe... I love it!

well said my friend! that could be my quote
Well, I think the Boxster is even uglier than the ZR with the top up! Of course the ZR isn't as sleek and sexy as the coupe when the top is up, but top down it is absolutely stunning. I get stopped all the time by people asking about the car. So someone doesn't like it, whooptie doo., they don't have to buy it.

I love the way my ZR looks with the top down - which is pretty much the only way I drive it.
I gotta say I am always getting comments on the car. People always coming up to ask about it - folks calling out nice car, sick ride, etc. Top down this thing gets a ton of attention.

I still think that with the top up it looks unique and good. At first, I was iffy but now I look at it and appreciate the styling and think it looks exotic with both the top up and down.
Modded roadsters look damn sexy...esp those with a rearwing to balance things out. As with most convertibles though, the roadster suffers a little with the top up...and it doesn't have the distinct roofline of the coupe..but..I do like the roadster. Few things in this world are made worse by going topless.

The production Roadster is MUCH nicer...

Maybe it's just my opinion, but when I was deciding on my Z back in January what drew me to the roadster (other than i wanted a drop top) was the lines were better (to me) than the couple, yes, even with the top up.. maybe it's just my opinion, but it's my car, and if someone doesn't like it. I never said they had to ride in it

I love my ZR's looks (top up or down). I think with Black, the top melds well with the body. The other day I was gassing up and a guy in a boxter pulled up and said "that is one hot looking car." Still grinning after that
