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 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".

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! )

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.

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.
