I love my Z but given the opportunity (to hit a deer) to switch cars, I don't know if I'd come back to the same car, maybe go for a G35 coupe. Well, at least your okay and have a car again.

I guess the leather touring seats were never luxurious enough for you??

I can't imagine trading my Z in for the G. People draw comparisons because they're the same platform but to me it's two different styles.

Anyhow..Melissa.. Good luck with your new Z and as you may already know.. it's going to get better!

It's funny, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how many would go out and get another Z right away. I love my Z, but I get the itch to "wear different shoes" pretty often. I would probably look for a 2000 Corvette.

I'm with you we like the Z but most likely we would end up with something else if we lost him. It would feel weird and bring back memories of the original which I dont want!

The Nissan site says the 18 Chrome wheels are a $1660 dealer installed option.

I'm surprised nobody has posted a pic yet before this.
