As I've talked with many people including some of you, everyone has been saying they haven't seen much in terms of the G37 Convertible. I've alot of questions around "What does it look like with the top up?", "What does it look like with the top down?", "How does the hard top roof work?" etc.

Well here's a video that shows it pretty well... Hope this helps.

Another good view of the car:

That's pretty nice. If i were to ever get a convertible, it would have to be a hard top convertible.

I still wish they would have done this with teh G35 Coupe. The g37 looks like a 2000 Sebring with the top down! It need a bigger spoiler to balance the car out more for the sportines.

Nice. But I'm not to crazy about the C-Pillars, they look too much like the Volvos. :frown:

IMHO if not for Brand identity and even if they couldn't keep the Rake of the rear window, Infiniti should have kept the signature G37's Beautiful C-Pillars! (below in Red)

theres maybe enough for an overnight bag or a few bags of groceries not much when you have a hard top though

what a good g37 mod. :p

+1 for what rick said. i think most hard top verts have similar c-pillars because of design issues.

That's what you get with a hard top vert

Not necessarily. BMW has had the same C-Pillar, called the "Hofmeister Kink" since the 1961 BMW 1500 series. The same design C-Pillar I have on my new 335i Hardtop Convertible...

Enough luggage space for my wife & I to take a weekend getaway to Savannah and back. Not lots of room in the trunk with the top down, but It's on par with other hardtop verts. But a Great trade off IMO in order to get such a tight coupe-like ride when the tops up. So if I want to have a ball driving I take hardtop convertible. If I want to haul stuff I'll take my van! :wink60:
