QUOTE=PhilipMSPT;4026222]I can say that the rear portion of the car is "not as bad" as what most people perceive it to be. Yes, it is bulky, but not so much as the rears of comparable cars such as the 3-Series and G37 hardtop convertibles. I believe most people are concerned about the C-pillar, which is not as smoothly curved as most coupes on the road.

.[/QUOTE]

Exactly it's bulky and less than attractive in back because it's a retractable hardtop (steel). A cloth softtop is much smaller when folder making the styling a little easier.

I'm glad they made it a hard top. I was (still am) a fan of the 350z but I hate the way the convertible top doesn't follow the lines of the car when it's up. As for getting one. It's pretty temping, but I probably should be happy with with I have now.

So they can't even schedule their production to take advantage of the summer period when demand for convertibles should be the highest? Summer's almost over by August

When the lease is up on my SC430 I'll probably swap for a ISx50C.
Or heaven help us if there should be and ISFC.
