Sports Illustrated + Nissan 370Z

[comtrang]

Just a little show off video. I really think the 370z is a huge step up from the 350 in terms of appearance. I was never really pulled in by it.

the way the red one parks is the win.

yea I agree although I really like the 350z, the new 370z looks alot better in real life. They did an awesome job.

interesting, I think the 370 is not as good looking as the 350. I don't think I would've ended up with a Z if that had been the model offered at the time, tempting as the 3.7 VQHR is. I'm sorry, but the move to those headlights (they're on the maxima too, I think) was a terrible decision

don't really care for that "synchrorev" thing or whatever either, I can do that on my own--what're they going to do next, take away the third pedal?

alas, to each his own

I really don't like the shape of the roofline, looks like the designers were in a rush and they just went striaght down.

Yeah I don't really care about features like that either.. better than doing what they did with the GT-R and not even giving it a manual.

The 350z just looked too plain to me, a little too clean cut. Also, the rear end looked really strange, I think.

Besides the catfish mouth front opening I like the look of it. I wouldn't mind owning one. The G35 coupe I just got rid was pretty fun and I would imagine the bit of extra displacement helps power a little.

comtrang I can see what you're saying. don't necessarily agree but i can see where you're coming from

don't like the front bumper/opening as well but hey, I wish my Z handled like it (according to acceleration tests I should be basically about as fast...somehow--but I didn't get it to drive in a straight line)

The front does look like a catfish mouth but I have a feeling after awhile there'll be a large aftermarket for it that'll include some tasteful body kits. Either way, just glad this one has a little more shape.
