Personally I think the 350 is better looking.
The early quirks have been worked out, so the 07/08 350z's are pretty well sorted.
If Nissan really wanted me to get a 370......18"wheels (not 19s), a true LSD, adjustable front camber, and MAYBE 200lbs lighter. One can dream right?
I'm anxiously awaiting for the 3rd id iteration of the Nismo 370. If they continue to make improvements to the base car and making the Nismo better than the previous(the same thing they did with the 350z Nismo's) , I suspect the 3rd one to be pretty awesome. The only thing is, Nissan has to worry about encroaching on GT-R territory.

I daily drive my Z. It's at 100k miles. When the engine goes or when I hit 200k, I'll be ready to purchase a used 2010 370. While it's exciting to get a brand new car, it's best not to grab the first model year. Also, I personally think cars are one of the worst investments you can make unless you're throwing down serious cash on serious cars. This being the case, I can't justify buying the car new when I can find a well-kept used one for thousands of dollars less.
... but that's just me.
I basically like everything about the car... the Nismo edition looks great.

Why, oh why do people think that giant wheels look so good? They're heavy, require that you be much more careful due to potholes, and the tires are much more expensive.
I've looked at the 370, and while I'm interested in trying one out, its hard to justify car payments again (especially in this economic environment).

i wouldnt get one, and if i were given one id trade it for a new camaro ss and cash. the 350 looks better and its not worth the increase in performance to go through payments for the next couple of years.

I agree with everyone on the economy. I would add that I hate Monterey Blue. I have a Daytona Blue & get millions of compliments... Monterey Blue.... eh

Wow, that is almost the exact thing I said to the dealer on my test drive of the 370Z. He said they were trying to make it look more like an airplane cockpit. BS, that crap just looked ugly. And I definately did not like the weird temperature and fuel gauges. Just looked like someone in the design department was like, "Hey, led tail lights have been cool this year. Why don't we go one more step and make a led gauge or two!"

Im perfectly Happy with my 08 350z! I personaly think that the 370's looks are not as good as the 350's. I also absolutely hate how the roof angles down to the rear in a staright line on the z34. The interior is very nice and the motor seems pretty good also! But my HR is fine for me

For me, I have several issues:
1. I want over 400hp. Adding a few ponies is nice but not enough to have car payments.
2. Drop the fangs.
3. Drop the raceboy door handles that have been on the 350Z & 370Z.
4. Smooth over the fenders. Like many new cars, the flat surface on the fenders distracts from its looks.

I'd rock one if I could afford it!

I'd love to see a limited ed 370z Nismo that made like 380hp via supercharger and had a bomb suspension+huge breaks+fat tires+2 way lsd-about 100lbs. But just like you said, they will be too hung up on the King... bummer.

This is the only thing that will keep the 370z (Nismo ed) from becoming the track demon it could be.

I traded my '04 enthusiast for the new 370 touring with sport package. I had the car for a week, but was having serious oil overheating problems with my local commute, and then found out about the whole lack of oil cooler problem. The car didn't feel stronger than my old Z, and made alot of interior noise. I like the extra leg room inside by means of removing that awkward subwoofer space behind the seats, but that was it. I turned it back in and got a killer deal on an '08 touring roadster. I will wait for Nissan to change a few things before I try again for a 370. PS- I love the cleaner look of my new roadster.
