I would have waited for a hardtop convertible. I couldn't fathom Chicago winters with a soft-top. That being said, I still long for a convertible at times during these beautiful, cool 75F Chicago summer days...

The infinity hard top version added over 400 lbs. to the car.

I also wanted to see the 370Z in a hard top convertible but then realized that with the added weight gain and the uptick in cost for a hard top convertible, it would have placed the Z in a price category that Nissan didn't want to be in.

As mentioned in another thread, I'll take mine in RED, fully optioned of course. March 2010!

The hard tops are mechanical failure waiting to happen. The last I heard BMW does not include the hardtop in it's extended warranty on the 335i.

Oh I don't know about that as there are still a lot of mid 50's Fords around and the tops still work on them. Now that's not saying they havn't been a pain in the a$$ for the last 50+ years.

Love the looks of the roadster.. I'm glad that nissan didn't put a metal retracting roof, all the reviews of the G37 complain about the lack of trunk room.. the top mechanism would have virtually eliminated the trunk, not good in a 2 seat roadster... I'm glad that a golf bag can still fit in the trunk... I'll take one in Black Cherry!!!
