I can't to see the finished product already lol. I am far more excited to see how it will look from the inside then the outside. If it looks anything like the 350z I be happy that is for the exterior.

...or in less intellectual terms: "Oh crap, now I'm stuck with a 350Z which won't be worth $hit when the new, improved car arrives. Guess I'd better trash the new one and somehow try to convince myself I've got the better car."

Why? Some people may prefer the 350Z over the 370Z. Their priorities may be different or they may just really like the styling. The 350Z has been a great sports car, and the later models, with their upgraded interior and HR engine are still great cars. Having to have the latest and greatest and trying to keep up with the Joneses is indicative of some kind of personality deficiency. I've been driving my DSM a little more lately and after turning ten years old this year, I have to say that I still love those cars and there is nothing wrong with that even though there have been many cars that came after that could out perform it or are simply newer.

I think the roundness of the current 350Z is what makes it look dated. If they don't add some sharpness to the new one it's going to look stubby and outdated.

There's a blue 240Z featured in this months Sport Compact Car. When I was looking at it I realized how uncanny the resemblence between the two cars is. A perfect evolution of the concept.
I was standing by a co-worker's Cayman S today and realized how good that size is (for myself). I wouldn't mind a similar size at all.

I am just not feeling the big flat part of the fender that goes around the rear wheel well.
The 350 has a small flat part, but at least it's rounded where it meets the fender. The flat part on the 370 is HUGE. As trendy as that hideous design element seems to be, I have not liked it on ANY car, and it's not doing the 370 any favors...
Nice that they took that design cue from the Versa, Sentra, Altima, Qwest, Rogue and Murano for the new 370z.
I think they did it to make the large rear end look less bulky, but that also makes the wheels/tires look smaller. It'll need 22" wheels to make it look right from a proportional standpoint.
