Check the speaker grille on the passenger's door. The badge looks too long to say "Bose". Looks like the last letter might be a "y". Infinity maybe?

Also, being a pre-production car, the screen most likely isn't functional, hence the nav unit.


I'm certain the 370Z is NOT going to have a dual clutch gearbox. It has the same 7 speed auto that's in The G37 coupe and is going in the new G37 sedan. Look at the shifter... It looks like any other manually shiftable automatic. The Dual clutch tranny cars (DSG and SMG) have a lever that looks like a regular stick shift. Only difference between them and a stick is the lack of a clutch pedal.

 

What makes an auto gay? The new 7 speed will be as fast if not faster than the M/T. Gay that.

Just because you do not prefer autos means they are gay. Don't be such a bigot.

I plan to get the auto (unless the MT is just TOO fun to turn down).

 

I want now! in for a group buy:

1. azula

 

Damn thats stock? Can't wait to see lowered on some clean offsets :-D I think it will look beautiful.

 

 

If Japan's economy keeps dropping (just like ours) they'll be giving these things away.

 

HA! Good point ZZ!!!! I did not consider that. What are Vette's down to, I wonder....?

 

With the high volume dealers, you can buy 1LT (base) Vettes all day long for under 40k with 0% financing for 48 months. Brand new Z06's can be had for $13-15K off MSRP.

All car dealers are hurting. I stopped at the Audi dealership last week to pick up my wife's car from service (for the 13th time) and I was checking out an R8 they had on the showroom floor.......they were actually discounting it. The salesman told me they were selling these a month ago for $30K over sticker....not anymore, I guess. He kept following me, trying to sell it like a sleazy used car salesman. The Audi store NEVER does $hit like that. They usually act like they're doing you a favor to even talk to you.

 

Wow. That is crazy, under 40k AND 0% financing for 4 years. Just crazy. I wonder if Nissan will employ similar strategies. That will allow them to leave the MSRP a the higher $ figure, but still move inventory (similar to how Mazda is selling RX8's).

This is definately a buyers market!! Here's to all shopping for a car in '09!!

 

I'm sure the Nissan dealers will try to pull their usual crap for the first few months after the new Z's release, but once the newness factor wears off and the "gotta have it first" buyers are spent, you'll find deals everywhere.

 

this might be a little off topic but how do some of you guys think our current Z's will be in value ?
I would like to trade mines in (07) but wouldn't like to be around 10k down, could sell it now but for me not too loose much would take about the time the 370z is out to get what i would want...

 

I wish... wouldn't that bring down the price of a GTR too?

 

I would think so.....I guess it just depends on how bad things get. The markups on limited production cars are dropping. My Chevy dealer called last month and offered me a ZR1 at MSRP.....that's unheard of.

 

i wonder tho, if the price for a Z really is as much as 35-45k and the new Z4's come out with the twin turbo 3.0's like the 135i/335i, i think i may go bmw. main reason, the twins get you another 80-85 hp for a few grand with a chip, and the engines can already take F/I. What do u guys think?

 

Really depends on what you want bro. The Z4 is a cool car and the TT inline 6 is outstanding. However, I hear the Z4 are very nose heavy; I am not certain if that is true and will let someone else correct me if otherwise.

Honestly, the looks of the Z eliminated the competition (TT-S /TT -RS, Z4) for me. Just awaiting final word on the specs from the convention.

 

New Z4 does look pretty good, though:

Looks like some bad **** brakes are coming back from one of the side photos i saw. I also notice big time that Im not sure if anyone has mentioned yet from the first pictures in the thread, BUT their is GTR ALL over that front bumper. Look at the details of the bumper, Its so obvious.

 

Our car's resale value is already $hitty as it is, unfortunately.

 

It sure does... Looks very Euro agressive. Hmmmmm..

Thanks once again ZZ for making my auto decisions a bit tougher!!!!!

 

Sorry, man! There's another video out there of the same car, and when it pulls into the garage at the end, you can get a really good look at it.....looks killer. I've also heard the Z4 may be a hardtop convertible. You could easily mod that car to 400 HP.
