I still think its close race but infiniti wins imo. I am so excited to see one of these cars worked at SEMA or even on the street. My service rep is the best in the region so he was give the opportunity to get an IS350C for half the lease rate. He is going to do it, and I hope he will throw a set of wheels on it at least. He probably wont, but I guess thats what makes us so special.lol

The Infiniti looks like a jelly bean to me... it resembles the Pontiac G5 convertible too much. The reason the G37 Coupe works for me is the roofline. Remove the roof = remove the appeal.

In general, I've always thought the 2IS was too tall and oddly proportioned.
But that could be said of many modern cars.

I'd get an NSX-T for open air motoring...

In my opinion these pics don't tell the story. You need to see the 2 vehicles in the flesh.

In last two decades JDM was not really into convertibles. As a matter fo fact there are so few of them that we can list them in one post.

Probably the most famous one:
Mazda Miata


Mazda MX-5


Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder


Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Spyder


Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS Spyder


Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder


Nissan 350Z


Lexus SC430

If I had to choose to go open air my choice would be the SC 430.

Matador Red/Camel Leather, please.
