Yesterday, I was driving my 350Z through the streets of Philly when I stopped at a light and a new 2004 Silver Roadster pulled up next to me. The driver and I nodded to each other, but it allowed me to get a close look at the 350Z convertible for the first time - and I was NOT impressed. Since it was raining lightly, he had his rag top up. In my opinion (please don't flame me), the car really looks lame with the rag up. It was almost silly-looking compared to the beautiful, flowing lines of my Daytona Blue Coupe. I also was not fond of the lines of the trunk compared to the hatch on my car. After seeing the Roadster with that black rag top, I am so-o-o-o glad that I own the 350Z coupe - - this is just my two cents.

to each their own.
i agree that the coupe looks better than the roadster with its top up... but the looks of the coupe cannot compare when the top of the roadster is down. plus, the sensation of the sky above, the wind blowing... the exhaust sounds being more pronounced... makes me want to jump in my car now and go for a spin. my 2 cents.
2 different cars for 2 different types of people... no one car is better than the other. it is all a matter of preference.
yesterday... I am chilling in the Z... and I saw a black one... but the top was down... NOW that was sick... I am sorry it looked hype... but I KNOW... top up... stupid.
they should have slopped the rag like how the VW beetle's is. made it look like the same car but ragged.
whhhooooshh don't look good with the top up.
T top... oh man... would pay money for that again.
