View Full Version : Will they please just announce a convertible tnagpal 05-29-2002, 11:40 AM My next car will be a convertible. I would rather it was an RX-8 than a used Boxster or 350Z but unless they announce a convertible, I think I will be buying one of those others instead... So please, Mazda, if you are out there listening, announce a convertible (preferably hard top) ZoomZoom 05-29-2002, 03:59 PM Did I miss something, when did Nissan announce a convertible for the 350Z? :confused: If they haven’t it looks like you will be buying a Boxster, start saving my pennies now! Baggy 06-07-2002, 02:06 AM Sign me up, I want a convertible too. I am afraid it will be a few years before one is released, if it is possible at all.

Motor Trend announced that Nissan will be producing a convertible version of the z in 2004. I personally think that a hartop on a four seater will be too much. It will consume too much luggage and it will look awkward... but I'd love to see Mazda make a convertible. tnagpal 06-13-2002, 08:55 PM Why not just give up the back seats if you have the hard top down? I actually would rather do that because when you are in a four seat convertible with the top down you can't really talk with the people behind you. MazdaMan182 06-17-2002, 09:44 PM tnagpal... in R&T, it stated that the platform the RX-8 was built on is suitable for a convertible and that the Miata might even use it. That's a little hinty pants. Ladede 06-17-2002, 11:22 PM Yes, a convertible would be great! As a Miata owner with small kids who complain I always have one seat for them, I'd love that. Rumor has it that there will be an RX-7 made on the same platform, and that could be the convertible though. Only 2 seats then :( Anyways, with 3 kids, I guess one of them would feel left out too in the RX-8? YA MattFast 06-18-2002, 04:39 AM A RX-8 Convertible...hm...I think the car is too long and too much of a 'familycar' to be a nice conv MazdaMan182 06-18-2002, 12:49 PM I just don't see the RX-8 in a convertible. It would look pretty good if it was a two seater, but then that would defeat the whole purpose of the RX-8 (suicide 4 door, 4 seat). |
