Augh! Those pictures are great, but I wish there were some of the interior. Coulda answered some questions such as 1) How does the charcoal leather interior look and 2) Is there metallic trim on the center console.
Neither too big, but at least I'm curious.
Actually, I just looked again, and through one of the shots, it looks like there is a metallic trim.
So..just one question left.

new pics
Great new pics, things were getting boring with no new info and then Jeff got us pictures...thanks jeff and jmanz for posting them. I ordered the chrome silver and I love it...love the flaired fenders and the *** end looks the best in these pictures than in any other photos..my only hope is that they don't put the blasted license frame on my car . I have requested no frame by phone and aalso faxed a request for no frame and NO holes. Now it is even more difficult to wait for my Z!!!hoping for august delivery

Thank you Jmanz for posting the pics.
I can't express how excited I was to finally get to see the Z. I wasn't even aware of the 350Z when the Auto show was in LA back in Jan/Feb, and I really didn't think I would see the Z in person until they started to arrive at the dealers. I almost didn't make it to this Nissan event today.
Today was one of those days that I needed to be in the office all day. Lot's going on. Couple that with my doubts that the 350Z would be at this little show, and I almost blew the whole thing off. Man oh man am I glad I didn't.
I thought the Nissan HQ was one small building, but when I got in the area, I saw that they have quite a bit of property there. Many different buildings, over a large area. I drove around the place for 20 minutes, and didn't see any signs of an 'event'. Finally, I saw a few older Z's parked in a grass area, and a small tent. I parked, and walked towards a gate, where the gaurd lady was kind enough to give me a visitor pass to enter the compound.
As I walked up, I saw quite a few older Z cars, with their hoods propped up, and I figured that if I saw a large group of people, that our Z would be in the niddle. But there weren't that many people around, so I figured our Z wasn't there.
And then I saw her.
And I stood there.
I just couldn't believe it.
I took pictures. I giggled like a kid. I looked around for BullishZ, thinking he might be there too. I wish my day would have allowed me to hang there until they opened the doors, the hood, and started her up...but I couldn't.
Next time... Brickyard photos for Bonz.

WOW!!!
The car looks Strong. Doesn't seem to have a bad side. I really love the backend.
Can't wait till I get mine. Trying to get confirmation from NNA, but no news after 1 week of phone calls. Frustrating.

Nice to see such a familiar car....I don't see any obvious differences in the production car from the show car.
Now if they would just leak out some with other colors!!
Thanks for the pics....we'll take all we can get.

Thank you for all your kind comments. Thinking back now, there are so many other views of the car and details I wish I would've have taken. Oh well, I can't do much about that now.
I don't have any 'Nissan inside connections'. Like most of you, I rely on information I find on the internet. And I would be remiss if I didn't thank Rx0...a poster at zcar.com, from whom I heard about the event. Thank you Rx0! I hope you will keep us updated on future Z photo-opportunities.

Scaf! You definitely DA MAN! Thanks. Finally something new for us to talk about. There was a guy over at zcar (I think his screen name was "69zcar" or something like that) who said that someone drove a "burgandy" Z through the parking lot for a brief moment and that he got pics of it. I assume he meant Brickyard. He apparently tried to post them over at zcar two separate times but the links for the pics didn't work and he hasn't been back on since. Anyway, thanks for the effort man and I'll be looking forward to those Brickyard pics!
