Man, I swear to the good Lord. If you like convertibles, then thats simply what you like. Opinions are definitely like a-holes, we all have one. But I can't help but think that when I see a dude (young dudes) in a convertible, he borrowed his girls car. That being said, this is my opinion and I understand that it doesn't make it right just because its mine. And this is a serious response. It's your money, buy what you like.

Glad you clarified your opinion ref, "young dudes" -- us "old dudes" not only like our Roadsters, but in my case I wouldn't even think of allowing my girlfriend OR my wife to drive it:

My a-hole......oooops, sorry, opinion...

P.S. So what part of Arkansas are you from? I'm originally from NLR

I'm from a little crap hole known as Pine Bluff.... I'm sure you know where it is. It's terrible but good business for what I do. DAYUM! Girlfriend OR wife! Got it like that, huh?!

To the op,

G = Convertible 2 Door Sedan

Roadster = Convertible True Sports Car

Easiest way to sum it up.

actually he couldn't be any more correct, a sedan by definition is an automobile with 2 rows of seating and that's exactly what a G37 vert is - a convertible 2 door sedan

Funny. My wife and I were just talking about this! She keeps calling my z a vert when it is in fact a roadster! Huge difference (for those that have had both). Yes I did own a g37 vert for about 6 mo. It was my wife's car then she traded it in for a Benz. So, I agree, g is for her, z is for him!

Exactly. The G is civilized but I don't think its really cross shopped with the ZR. Lexus yes.

The G is *very* heavy, longer, has more interior space, mechanical HT...its a top down grand touring platform. I would take one over a Lexus, but that is my personal opinions.

Roadsters as defined, are of the 2 seat top down ilk. Historically roadsters lacked a permanent top. I was not born in the era where some 2 seaters had removable tops and such (Jag, MG, others I suspect).

Modern definition is a bit more relaxed, but its the Miata/MX-5,ZR, Solstice, Boxster (arguably) etc...the ZR to me is porky but I come from the land of 2100 lb roadsters so I like lightness.

Comments about a cars gender demographics and/or the drivers sexual preference may make you feel special inside but they lack intelligence and sometimes expose latent insecurities.

I've heard it all. I drove a yellow MX-5 for 13 years. Still miss that car. If you love to drive, you really should own a well sorted miata at some point in your life. I'm not a chick. I'm not a hair dresser. I don't like dudes (in that way). Just a DINKWAD with an engineering degree that can find the goodness in any sporting vehicle cause its fun. Regardless of who you are or what you do, if you like driving and are driving a fun car that's all that matters to a car nut.

Nice, I almost had to

mick · 03-03-2010, 08:07 PM

if you cannot make up your mind then buy the less expensive one -- why buy the more expensive one if it isn't a clear cut choice?

This thread is almost 2 years old, I hope the OP has already made a decision
