Default Nissan 370Z Spotted Testing In Germany, Shows New Details

http://jalopnik.com/5060570/nissan-3...ws-new-details

"Nissan's revamped 370Z has just shown up in Germany, perhaps in preparation for some testing on the Nürburgring. Despite the black paint and the heavy rains, the Z's new shape is clearly apparent here. The Maxima-inspired boomerang headlight design appears to be in play, and a similar treatment has been given to the Z-car's tail-lights, as well."

I like how the door handle is painted and color matched. Looks good overall.

Looks mean in this pic. Im slowly coming around to liking it. Teh mirrors suck still and the wheels are too tucked in if this is the stockers. I know mr. picky but hey its how I see it.

Not feeling it all.......just cant seem to figure out why theyed kill the sexyness of the 350z

Side mirrors = huge
those fins in the grill = ugly as hell
the rear side window shape and door curve up = ftl
taillights = ftl
headlights = ftl
dont like how the roof and windshield meet
the hood = meh
rear bumper line from the side is too flat, like a g35
door handle shape = ftl
front bumper bulge/lip = ugly

love:
motor is gonna be nice
weight
no antenna FTW
brakes.....omg those look nice

so far, cons >> pros

just my opinion:

Great find - thank you!

Good looking profile!

Looks like a huge blind spot out the right rear quarter. Looks like the Design is evolutionary. Not Bad.

Anyone notice how the Headlights bulge? They remind me of the Celica's headlamps.

I was expecting to see the old pic with the 350z body.

These are the most clear and without tape pics we've seen.

Damn I've been on the fence for a while now, but these are the best pics to date. Yes, I know I have not posted in god knows how long.
I think I'm ready to get rid of the G now.
