IMO the car is too big (tall) to look cool as a convertible... who knows in real life though?

Looked pretty decent. I did not care for the wagon.

That's a decent photoshop of this picture:



But I think the biggest enemy of a G35 Coupe convertible would be weight.

Second biggest enemy is that it will be ugly as sin.

I think it would look cool! If they can do it on an Eclipse and Camry, then do it on a G!

I don't think there will be a convertable G since there has never been a convertable JDM Skyline.

hey now be nice

if they had a g35 convertible at the time i bought my 350z roadster, i may have gone with the g35. i am not sure, but it would have been a harder decision than a z or g coupe vs a z roadster. the coupes, though beautiful, just couldnt compare to the roadster imho.

i think it is possible, because at the moment infiniti does not have any convertible models and the g35 would be the perfect platform to base one on.

Wasn't the Infiniti m30 (Infiniti's first coupe) made in a convertible version too?

This chasis was based off an older skyline GT-S or GT? I believe. Circa 1990.

Pls dont do a stationwagon on a G35. They finally got a reputation of a good handling car to rival the 3 series bimmer and I feel it would effect that perception.

looks like SC430, which is not a good thing
why add more weight to the G35

I agree...

But I bet they'll sell pretty well.
