From the pictures not sure I can get a good sense of the cars lines. The back hatch/trunk looks odd from the pictures. To really get a good judgment I'd need to see this in person.
When I saw the coupe in person, I felt I had to have it.

My Roadster is a factory order and should arrive in seven weeks. I decided to trade my ’09 Z for the Roadster after seeing the car in person. Pictures don’t even justify its beauty! It’s common for some people to knock a car when they can’t afford it…seen it too many times! Money isn’t an issue and I ordered the 2010 ZR after driving it. It’s not going to be a daily driver. So when you read negative comments about the ZR, look at where it’s coming from!

Obviously as an owner of a 2010 ZR, my opinion probably has a bias, but my thoughts are -- you are either a "vert" person or you are not. As a fellow ZR owner put it a few weeks ago -- the top is simply a parking cover.
OBTW, I think you can still be interested in street performance and have a rag top -- I plan intake & exhaust upgrades for my vert. THAT SAID, if I can only convince my wife to trade her Altima in for a NISMO Coupe, that'd be OK too! ![]() |

I don't like it either. But it'll probably appeal to its target demographic, which isn't us. What I mean by this is, most of the folks on this forum are performance-minded. We bought the 370Z for its performance attributes. Yeah, the way our cars look matter to us as well, but performance is the primary motivator for us. Well, people who buy cars for performance usually stay away from convertibles anyway, because they usually compromise structural rigidity, and can be heavier than their coupe counterparts (esp. hardtop convertibles). Also, most of us probably don't care so much about how we personally look while driving it -- we're driving, not posing. People who buy convertibles, on the other hand, are more interested in looking good as they cruise/pose down the boulevard on a sunny day. I'm not trying to insult anyone, btw. I'm just pointing out that there are different target demographics out there in the car market. I mean, how else can one explain all the Eclipse convertibles and Sebring convertibles that are out there on the roads? So anyway, I think the 370Z Roadster will appeal to the 'I wanna look good with the top down' demographic. And yes, I know I'm making some broad generalizations. I realize that there are exceptions. I used to own an S2000, btw. But it was designed from inception to be a convertible; it's not a compromised version of a coupe. I also kept the top up most of the time, which drove my wife nuts (because she wanted to look good while in the car and I couldn't care less about that).

At least it looks better than the 350 vert. That thing looked like a mutilated Beetle. I think the early renderings floating around looked better, but oh well, not like i ever really considered the vert version.

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but the styling of the seats are completly different than the coupe. I know the seats also have the heating / cooling , but look at the headrest compared to the coupe.
The Roadster's seats look really really aggressive. I like ![]() |
