Pretty unusual. Especially to you Americans.

I’m very confused. I know those are s15 tailights, but what the heck it that car.

damn, that thing looks like it could have a ute bed back there. Is it just the angle?

The angle is emphasizing it. But yeah it’s long. It was before folding hardtops where everywhere.

Nissan contracted a company to build a few S15 convertibles, known as the Varietta :)

I honestly have no clue what it is whatsoever. I think it is the first time I am stumped in a decade.

Wow they totally lost the angled S15 bodyline. Shame

They did. It looks better from some angles.

But that’s how convertibles work. You sacrifice roof line and storage space and water tightness and reliability and cost and weight and security and durability so that you can take the roof off. More so for folding hard tops, much more so for the earlier ones.

Targa tops have far fewer compromises :)

It’s just an S15 convertible :)

I had the same feeling maybe 5 years ago when I saw a JC Cosmo in a parking lot. There are heaps of cars I don’t know (from the 20s for example, or 50s, etc) but not when it comes to modern cars. I couldn’t even have named the manufacturer or country!

I was most upset.

When jalopnik was doing an insta livestream I was calling out all the cars. Pagodas, Jdm centuries and all the micra derived models from the 90s. And then I am stumped by this.

Man. Sounds like you really know your Jap cars. I’m sorry it had to end for you like this.

It looks like if that roof was made permanent and remove the boot lid it’d make a great ute.

Great footage! Seems like a pretty good system given how early it is

Haha yes! And i can only imagine the roof would break eventually and getting parts could be a nightmare. Ute becomes a legitimate option!
