Wow, that looks like asspie with the top up. The rear deck is WAY too long. I'm guessing the tonneau prevented them from pulling the trailing edge of the roof farther back to come closer to the coupe's lines. Not at all impressed.

I kind of like it, but I'll stick with the S2000. The difference is, there will be so many Zs around soon that you'll see them every day. They already have more Zs for sale on E-Bay than S2000s.

I think the 350Z is one of those cars that pictures do no justice. They look 10X better in person or when racing them. But I am not sure about this convertible. I think the s2000 looks better.

I love the 350Z, but the coupe, not the convertible. The convertible is just going to lose some of the razor sharpness of the hardtop. Though I love the fact that the S is a convertible it was never a factor in the purchase. Performance rules, an d I believe the Z convertible is going to be to flexy and soft. Kind of like any of the ///M convertibles. The owners always take umbrage to that, but anyone who drives both usually points out how much of the precision leaves the drop top version of a hard top car.

Nice Tonneau. Gonna be slower than the s2000 (extra weight compared to the coupe) and cost starting at 5g more(before dealer rip/markups).

Yuck! I love the 350Z coupe, but replacing the beautiful sloping roofline w/ a looooong trunk ruins the styling IMO. As much as I love convertibles, I'd have to go w/ the coupe in a 350 (which could be my eventual next car).
