This in the Feb. 10, 2003 AutoWeek. My scanner is down, so I took a quick shot. The printed photo is Very clear. Does NOT look photoshopped. Looks better than any other imagined converts looked. I like!

 

Sweeet! That picture resembles the one I saw at the dealer ship two weeks ago--except it was silver.

 

It looks a helluva lot better than what I imagined with the top down.

 

It looks like a photo shop to me. Notice the angles of the two tires. I could be wrong. I guess we are getting close to seeing what it looks like.

Finally we see a factory car.... That is ugly. Hope it looks better with the top up.

 

Why would they photoshop the tires to fake a convertible?

 

Not a big fan of convertible, but it looks alright!!

 

Look at the picture closely young grasshopper, the back end just does not look right.

Blame the poster

The wheels look fine on the original shot....photos of photos at an angle etc..............

I just noticed a little wind blocker thingy between the covered roll hoops.

 

It is a photo of a magazine. The magazine is not flat and the camera most likely has a wide angle lens. Both of these will distort the image, look at the text below and above, they are both slanted in differant angles. I am sure if he scans it, it will not look distorted, or at least as distorted. Looks like the real deal to me. Go buy Autoweek and look for yourself.

 

Yup, thats my exact take on the pic too. I'de bet my Z that this is the real deal and this is how the vert will really look.

 

It just might be the real deal. I guess with all of these photoshop ones that i have seen in the past months i was not sure. I want to see a pic with the top up. Or better yet in person. I wonder if they will change anything else with the car then just the top.

what it say about the picture? it should say the photographer and/or computer artist.

its a unussual angle to photoshop, itd be very hard to do. but I agree the rear wheel looks excesivly flared, but maybe thats just how it happened. the trunk looks flatter. it looks like a different car to me, which does not appeal to me.

 

i like the rear. the tonneu cover is clean and nice!

i bet they only come in the touring pkg.

 

Eh..... Looks kinda overdone... I like my coupe

 

If you are going to reveal a new convertible, why on earth would you reveal only a photo of it with the top down. Everyone can imagine what it will look like with no top. The more interesting view that is hard to conceptualize is how it will look compared to the coupe with the top UP! Why don't these magazines, etc. understand that? I'm fed up. Screw the vert. I'm going to drive my coupe till the top falls off.

 

Hope it looks better with top up, as just mentioned, both views would be nice.

 

Glad I went with the coupe.

 

second that
