Default Seeing the Real Thing Can Make All the Difference

I had to post this here because I think it may help others who are having trouble getting past the looks of the new 370Z.

Today I happened upon a GTR in a parking lot while shopping in Rockville, Maryland. I have the GTR booklet from the dealer and have seen many pictures and quite honestly thought the car looked like it was lacking something. I wasn't at all impressed. But seeing it in person driving around a parking lot and on the road...WOW...what a difference!

I talked to the owner who said he's had it for 3 weeks now and (naturally) loves it. It was a graphite grey color with black wheels. At certain angles, you can see the classic 350Z/G35 body styling inherent in the design. The car is beautiful to behold.

I think the same thing will happen when I see the 370Z.

Not to take this thread in an entirely new direction but I don't care.

I felt the same way when I saw it, its really baddass looking when its right in front of you. The styling is so aggressive from all angels. The only other car that looked that badass to me was the Z06 first time I saw it at a carshow.

These cars just look fast sitting still....if u know what I mean.

You are SOOOO right. According to you, there's no way we can know anything. It sure as hell won't look like these:




Especially nothing like this closest-to-production-looking-photoshop-as-confirmed-by-the-guys-that-have-participated-in-Nissan-marketing-events image:




Actually, looking at all these pictures of the 370Z, I just noticed the double accent lines in the roof.
