Smaller the better. I just hope they put in the 5 or 6-spoke wheel instead of a 10 or 12-spoke one, I don't have all day to clean.

 

Different times calls for different marketing strategy.

When the 350z was first released or announced, there was nothing like it in this segment. Cars that would compete with it were either discontinued or non-existant. It's closest competitor was the S2000, but it didn't take Nissan much to shine against it.

It wasn't long until people started gunning for the Z.

Nowadays, almost all car companies are trying to, if not planning to fill that affordable performance segment. I guess Nissan is keeping this one under the lid so that when it does drop, it'll be ahead of the game for some time?

 

Wonder what would the Nismo look like.... I bet they will be doing weight reduction to the Nismo one just like they did to the Honda CR

 

no new info on the 370?

 

Didn't they keep the 2009 Maxima kind of quiet too? I think Nissan is staying a bit on the low key side.

 

i found a black/black 07 350z w/ 12k miles touring for 21k, i dont know if i should jump on this or wait for 370, im one of those people that will probably regret it if i do buy the 07....

i have 0 patience when it comes to cars though but as i got older its become a little bit easier to control

 

Here's a transparency of the 370z. The 370z door is only about a door handle width shorter than the 350z door. The 370z will appear higher than the 350z because of the angle of the picture.

 

push button start?

 

Cool! Less 370's out there the better.

 

Great find man! I love the side view.

 

yes

 

And one of the features I am holding out and looking forward to most.

 

That's weird. I'm most looking forward to the weight drop. Didn't think a push-button start was that important. Can a button really sell a car?

Tony (thinks that's, well, kinda ghey)

 

Until you've had to live with a broken, traditional keyless and broken door handles like I have for the past year-ish (effing DSMs), you won't understand my appreciation for this. I said I was looking forward to that one feature most, but it doesn't mean it's the sole reason I'm going to purchase a car. If all I wanted was weight reduction on a Z, I'd just buy a carbon fiber hatch and fenders, lightweght battery, wheels, and dump/swap some interior parts, etc. And if all I wanted was a totally keyless car, I'd just get a Versa, which looks like a Lancer that was beat with an ugly stick.

 

I ****ing love it and I WILL buy one a base

 

LMAO

I can't say I've ever had an issue with any of my car's keys/keyless entry/handles. Not even my DSM's.

Would be sweet it they'd just FAST key it. It's a trip with the Evo X.

 

I can care less about a "push start" button. That novelty is so 5-8 years ago.
Nice if they had it...who cares if they don't. (Considering 600k Carrera GT still has a turn key.)

Lighter weight
Fun handling
Reliable inside and out
Broad and ample powerband

It's all we're asking for in a Z.

All the other B.S.? The Infiniti dealership is two blocks down the street.

 

That's a big time fail. Pasting a pic over a pic and think it is to scale.

 

Plus one brotha.

 

But, it will have all that. Push start is just an added BONUS to a great car.

Yes, I love my Infiniti with the push start!

Once you have it, you won't go back to turning a key! LOL
