350z roadster = minor leagues, AA ball...AAA ball at the most
SC430 = major leagues...championship series
SL500 = 100% majors...world series contender

With the convertible Nissan, now you can see that HORRIBLE interior in all it's glory. I don't see nothing bang for the buck about a 35-40k Z? A 25-30k Z is bang for the buck. Nissan dealer service is worse than their reliability.

At this rate, it will cost just as much as the outgoing 300ZX. without TT or Super Hicas steering and a great interior in a couple of years.

The 350Z is a great car and when they are 15k in 2 years, it makes a GREAT 2nd car.

i gotta admit, the 350z interior leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the quality of the materials. however, i bought ithe 350Z beacuse its a nice looking(to me anyway) and fun sports car. it cant touch my gs luxury wise. however, i would take it over the ugly, overpriced sc430 anyday, especially considering the price. by the way, i just happened to read one of those car mags ( cant remember which) where the sc got last place and was a dog compared to the other convertibles. what were they thinking comparing it to a porsche and benz

Lets not lose sight that all you label *****s that our Lexus is a souped up Toyota and my old Maxima ran great for the $125000 miles I put on it. The z is awesome looking and because it doesn't say Lexus or MB or Audi (poop) then it must not be good. this site never seems to amaze me.

ATLGS4,

The 350Z is a great car. There is no question. Especially for the price. But, you claim the SC is overpriced. I think you mean overpriced for YOU. Every magazine article considers the SC to be an outstanding bargain. It absolutely belongs in the crowd in the Road and Track article. Does it deserve to win?? Who knows?? It performs equal to the SL in almost all statistical categories. It is built for a grand touring mission and not ***** to the wall sporting. It does that as good as any car in the world. It is more expensive than a 350Z, but don't call it overpriced when comparing it to vehicles that it was meant to compete with.

the 350Z roadster looks great with the top down.

With the top up it looks mighty ugly. They should make the top extend all the way to the end of the car, not round like a TT. Remember the custom 350Z convertible someone did a few months back? That one looked great. Wonder if anyone kept those pics.
