Where did you find the picture of the rag top Z

I think it gives the car more character when it it left out a little bit. Like the vw beetle or porsche.

I drive a convertible Z now, and really didn't want to buy the hard top version of the 350Z, but I couldn't resist. As soon as the convertible models are available, I'm definitely going to be trading.
Where did you find the pictures of this convertible 350?

I too have always wanted a convertible...but couldn't wait. Should get my Z in October.

Question- if you think there's a good possibility you'd switch to the convertible after owning your Z for 6 months or so...what's the best thing to do so your not completely upside down? Just buy and hope the resale stays up there b/c of high demand? Trade in? Let my dealership know what I'm thinking and see what they have to say? Can you lease- then trade up? Thanks!

Cash is always the best defense against "upside down". I haven't considered a lease because I know I drive too many miles in any given one year. When the convertible models are available, we'll sit down at the negotiation table again.

OK,VQ, it looks better with a tonneau cover behind the seats, but I will always prefer the coupe, cleaner lines and cheaper insurance comes to mind as well. I know others love convertibles and I say go for it. Not me!

A well-executed convertible would definitely test my loyalty to my S2000...I can't wait to see the real pics, and hope they don't soften it vs. the coupe.

i believe the car will be redisigned a bit for the convertable version. I talked to someone who has seen it and he said it look amazing.

350Z Convertible

I don't regret not waiting for the convertible. That back is too flat in the back. I call that butt-ugly.

VQ didn't create that Spyder image, it was created back on Zcar awhile back... can't recall who did it. (not that VQ was claiming to have done it of course)
