It has the same steering wheel as the 2009 Maxima - which is fine but I hate how the volume up down has been moved from the silver toggle to the black buttons beneath.

It's annoying to have to learn a new layout when all the other Nissan/Infiniti products to date have the same layout for steering wheel audio/radio controls. I know I use the volume up/down far more than the station up/down...

Oh well I still love the car and will plan on getting one of the roadsters...

I love the new look on the outside. Not crazy about the banana headlights, but the back end is sexy. It's a throwback to the old Datsun Zs.

As a side note I want to head but you back to 1970 where you belong.
Another goofy, pathetic internet tough guy......I'm very impressed. I notice you had to add the line; "I don't hate you that bad" to your original post. Whassamatter.....lose your nerve? "Makeup your mind."

There's nothing left for me say......your ignorant post says everything about who and what you really are. You've painted a perfect picture of yourself. Nice job.

That huge flat part around the fenders really ruins the look of the car. How the hell did it make it to final production like that. Does anyone honestly think that looks good?

Sweet...looks like the speedo goes up to 180 now, it has push button start and there is some sort of lap timer built in. Looks like the gear shift might interfere with the climate controls/radio though.

Well, let’s take a look. The Nissan 370Z will be a mashup between the GT-R and the 350Z. Power will come from a 3.7L V6 that produces 330-hp - the same engine powers the Infiniti G37. All that power will be transferred to the road via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission from the GT-R. CAR says that the new upmarket coupe will ride on a rear-wheel-drive architecture. Sounds pretty good to us, but let’s wait to see some Nurburgring and 0 to 62 mph times.

We’ll get to see the new 2010 Nissan 370Z at the 2008 LA Auto Show next month. So stay tuned for more on this so-called ‘baby GT-R.’

Head over to CAR to see more shots.

So according to them no clutch it's going with a dual clutch like the GTR. So now where does everone stand, all the non clutch haters out there, with the one legged jokes, and autos are gay, betcha your bullsh!t stops here.
Thanks for the update, MX. But autos are still gay. They have "torque converters".
This 7-speed dual clutch is not an auto tranny. It merely fixes the problem with most manual transmissions: the drivers who think they know how to drive manual correctly but can't. It will drive like a manual, because it is. It simply replaces the left leg and right hand motions of the inexperienced drivers of today with it's own mechanism.

My '07 G Sedan has left/right volume controls. Took a few days to get used to but it's actually better than the previous up/down setup. Same thing with the tune station toggle switch. Whereas in your Z and older Infinitis you click up to choose your next station (i.e. to go from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc...), because the stations now show up on the large screen in a top to bottom fashion instead of a single DIN LCD, you click down to choose your next station instead of up since they're ordered like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6

That one took a bit more getting used to than the volume. Just thought you should know that Infiniti changed the layout starting with the '06 M.
