Wow! Beautiful...exactly what I am waiting for! Convertible, Monterey Blue, Sport, Touring with gray interior!

Coupe - unless the car has been specifically designed as a soft top, and the Z hasn't.

Plus, in England, why buy a convertible for the 21.4 days of the year when you can use it?

Sounds like here. Owning a convertible here is laughable. Last friday We had sunshine, snow, hail, rain, fog and then sun again. Oh and It froze overnight.

Saw this on Autoblog...
"The 2009 Nissan 370Z has already proven itself as one of the best performance bargains on the market, but for those who crave the wind-in-your-hair experience that only a drop-top can deliver, a convertible variant is right around the corner. Nissan will unveil the 370Z convertible at the New York Auto Show on April 8th, and according to a Nissan designer we spoke to at the 370Z's launch, it's going to look remarkably better than its predecessor.

The awkward roof-line and misshapen rear will be dispatched in favor of a more fluid canvas roof, because unlike the 350Z, the 370 was designed from the onset as a convertible. As previously reported, Nissan decided early on that a retractable hard-top was out of the question, primarily due to packaging and weight constraints – not to mention the risk of cannibalizing Infiniti G37 cabrio sales. The 3.7-liter V6 will carry over, along with the choice of a manual or automatic gearbox and Base or Touring trims. Expect a full report from the NY show floor in a few months time."

Do you believe it was truly designed to be a convertible? Or just some PR because of all of the past complaints on the shape of the roofline?
