Hi-res 370Z Roadster Pictures

I think it looks good only with the top down. Also that color is pretty nice.

Sadly, most roadsters only look good with the top down, which isnt for me :(

fugly top. is it me or is the top redish color? on a black colored car? or is that just light? because if it is that color in the final product, major FAIL.

From this angle with the top down, the rear looks a bit like the Toyota Soarer.

Overall I don't really like it... Not a fan of convertibles.

It looks good with the top down, but the top up... No beuno. The top is bulky and ugly looking. It would have been better if they used the same style top as the BMW 6 series or the Kappa body GMs.

While it looks better than the 350 roadster it's not good enough for my taste. Looks funky with the top up or down. Looks bulky/bubbly.

S2000 and Z4 are the best looking modern day roadsters top up or down.

I think it looks GREAT, with the top down.

not my cup of tea.http://animepisodes.info/images/f12f...21c07dee68.jpg

wow, that antenna looks HORRIBLE!

I think the shape and colour look great. Perhaps not a bright red colour hood but a mulberry or maroon is nice. The car is purple so it will go nicely.

Roadsters are the most aesthetically unpleasing vehicles.

Most times, although the Vette looks great as a drop top. That said, I think this looks far better than most other 2 seaters. The350Z looked cludged together, the Z4 looks somwhat silly, the Miata looks bland and the S2000 is being cancelled. Oddly enough, I kinda like the SKY's looks (maybe a bit over the top) though I hear horror storied about them.

Thanks for sharing! I can hardly wait for this one.

dont like the colorhttp://animepisodes.info/images/2aaa...dc081c6541.jpg

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.

Yeah, as said, the S2k, Z4 and the Vette are the only good top up or down roadsters.

I'm even a bit iffy on the Z4. I thought the Z3 looked less "boy racer" and a bit more put together.

I don't like this convertible version, well that's my opinion lol.

keep it original

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).

Much better than the 350Z roadster ...
 

The roadster looks fine with the top up:

10,000X improvement over the 350Z roadster.

god damn thats a BIG a$$...

^Yeah it is. It's a bootymobile.

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.

Thats a Jamaican A$$

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 :)

Sex on Wheels!!!

Hi-res 370Z Roadster
 

I like both the Roadster and the Coupe, and can appreciate why one would choose the Coupe, and another the Roadster. Among all of the auto manufacturers, Nissan did one of the best jobs of designing both the Roadster and the Coupe. Obviously since I own a 370Z I think it is the best one of all, or I would have bought a different car. These are both serious automobiles, and they both do what they were designed to do very well. But, these cars have different audiences. The Coupe looks like it's going 100 mph just standing still, and has an attitude as if it's saying; "What are you looking at, I'll kick your a**! When the Roadster arrives, you're not surprised when you see it's driver removing his driving gloves as he escorts his beautiful woman into the party at the Yacht club. The Roadster's attitude is; if someone needs their a** kicked, he has "people" who do that sort of thing for him. But, since it is a 370Z, if push comes to shove, he can do the a** kicking himself, if he absolutely has to.

Well I like it.. To each his own .. Living in the
south the top will be down alot.. I like the coupe
too, not sure how any true z fan could not like
either one ;)

Back from the grave the 9 month old roadster bash thread:stirthepot:

Seriously, anyone who likes the coupe must at least like 3/4th of the roadster

i actually like the Roadster's styling more than the coupe which is why i spent the extra money to buy it...in the end it's all a matter of personal preference since both cars are of the same family and you can't go wrong with either considering all the publications say performance is almost identical...it all comes down to if you want the option of being able to put the top down and in terms of performance to price ratio, the 370Z Roadster is the best bang for the buck on the market, bar none...i love my purchase

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!

Roadster: A Perspective
 

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!:tiphat:

the Mazda Miata is one of the best looking verts top up or down.

I agree, the MX-5 is a great looking & a great driving vert -- as a matter of fact, I traded in an '09 MX-5 for my ZR -- it was really fun to drive, had plenty of pep, my biggest problem was fitting in the car -- I'm right at 6' tall, and I felt like the top of the windshield was too much in my sight line -- it was probably the best balanced car I've ever had -- I am however very quickly adapting to my ZR.

A true sports car has no top. The soft top is for keeping the rain out! The difference in overall weight of ZR vs. Z is ~194#. Exactly 20 horsepower (I’m an Engineer) is needed in the ZR for the additional weight to equal the acceleration of the coupe. We all know we can easily get 20 additional horsepower from all the “boy racer” postings. People who think posers are the demographic target for ragtops are either a creative writer wannabe or maybe there are a much deeper issues, maybe with looks! Send in a recent photo and maybe someone can determine if you (&/or wife) should wear a mask!

wtf?

... I think it's a compliment to roadster owners .... Unfortunately, while I have a ZR, I have no "people".

I love my convertible regardless of what anyone else thinks. Very good performance, great looks inside and out, and a pleasure to drive. For anyone who thinks a car without a top can't perform, I'll invite you to pull up to my supercharged Viper RT-10 (top or off) and see if you can keep up...hint, better have more than 600 rwhp!:tiphat:
