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

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).

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
