New York Auto Show
New York Auto Show
The convertible 350Z was there, amazing looking car. It was in silver, tastefully done. Unfortunately, you couldn't sit in it, but hey, it made it's debut . . . I was happy enough just to see it. ;-) I have pics of that, and of a few other things, I'll post them up later tonight, but I just thought I'd let the suspense build for a few hours first. Hehe.
Sorry for the delay, but various (not too many) pics of the show are up on my site . . . http://extranet.sessys.com:8800/images/2003_nyias/ . . .

i'm looking at a pic of 350Z convertible right now and am not too impressed. i like coupes but... to each his own.
think of it as Mom's toy
or for that matter dad's toy
or kids toy
but my mom wants a convertible so I think she is going to get the Z
SmithSR: Supposedly, Nissan designed the 350 with a convertible in mind, so it should be OK. I like the coupes too, but there's nothing like going 60 on a hot summer day on the highway with the top down, and a hot blonde on the side. :-)
lessthanjakejohn: The difference with the MR2 are redesigned tails, more chrome trim, oval exhaust tip, etc. Not really radical, which is good. I think the MR2 is probably the best of the bunch (Miata, S2000).
Oh, and on a general note: I love the G35 coupe, more than the 350Z, surprisingly enough. Just something about the styling. And out of all the cars at the show, the VQ35DE's with the 6 speed had the nicest feel to the shifter. Granted, this isn't actually driving the cars, but still, much better than the S2000, M3, etc, at least in my opinion.
