That was what really what turned me off of the 1st gen.
I hope they found a way to improve it.
I found this pic Ian.

...that's what makes me wonder if they haven't totally fixed it Shane.
They always seem to show a front quarter like that,
which helps to hide the roof proportions.
One thing that should help is the higher rear deck though.

I sure do love roadies, but I think it'd be a coupe for me in the 370Z.
...better for taking to the track.

Side note: Later on that week I got to drive the only unsold GTR in the country (which is now sold) and have pics and a video to prove it! What an AMAZING ride.
I hope you arent talking about america, cause here there are 2 sitting at the dealership for sale. No red ones though

This is the only side shot I could find with the top up.

thats one ugly car... i hate convertibles..something about the back shape reminds me of the lexus series... with the top up, it kinda looks like an S2000 from the front... just my opinion. not trying to be the troll here..

i think the 370Zcoupe is 100000times more sexier...

while we are on the topic of roadsters, what do you guys think of the g37 convertible?











the spoiler has to go... *eeww*

the spoiler can stay if it gets moulded in and the part that goes inward comes out. It would sort of look like the gialla molded trunk that irideg has

I love the new roadster.

I sold my S2K so I guess I have a legitimate reason to look for a new car... right?

I do not like convertibles. The side profile looks awful IMO.

Alan, I had no idea you had an S2K. How come you sold it?
