a lot of people don't like it much, but i guarantee you, as soon as it comes out, the same people are gonna change their minds and they're gonna love it (without admitting it, though)

It's true. Back when the Z33 came out I hated it, cause I was still in love with the Z32.

It's usually the case with newer generation cars, with the exception of cars like the Eclipse.

One car has the bulge, the other doesn't. How weird. I'm kinda' expecting to see two engines, to be honest: a 330HP VQ37HR and a slightly updated VQ35HR. Then again, maybe talks of the V8 were true and the Z is getting the 390HP VK50? =O If that's the case, mark my words, I don't care how the 370Z looks, I will get it if it has a VK50.
I would definitely be one of the first in line for a VK50 Z (500Z), but according to the maintenance manual that leaked, it will only be the VQ37.

I cant tell if it does or doesn't have the boomerang. But from all the hype and Nissan actually applying it to the sexy new Maxima, it seems as thou we will be "boomeranged".

They do have the swept back headlights. I love the way the new Maxima looks in person. It has an R34 look with the split, square openings in the 'face'. The new headlights are aggressive.

Just sling me some crack, like you normally do, and you'll have enough money for it!

Or you can ask the dealership to take your crack supply for the Z.

A colleague just got himself a Maxima, and it's just a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l machine!!! It has "Z" elements up front; they made it "sporty", so to speak ( I
still like the Zed & the Altima Coupe better, but they sure improved that sucker's looks! )

They're starting to look pretty good.

The shape is more 240-280Z-esque

I think the car will be bad ***. I wish there was a way to quote people that hate the look. The same thing happened with the 350Z when it first came out, they hated it, then they all jumped on the bandwagon. Same thing will happen here, they say they hate it, then they'll be all.. I GOT ONE! haha.

I can't blame them, it looks bad ***. Although MC, if you trade your GT-R you'll have people questioning your sanity.

I like the side profile, GT-R-esque. The headlights are going to make or break this car for me.

You would think if somebody was able to get such a close up picture, they would have taken more than just one

The wheelbase doesn't look any shorter than the 350z...

Looks ok but I hate the side mirrors. Too big and goofy. A 390-400hp V8 Z would float my boat. It would also put it back closer to the M3 realm of performance. Turboing that V8 would be sickness.
