LOL... Here's hoping those pics were from a test car. Don't like my 2 tones in that sort of style..

 

The interior materials looks more upscale, but I'm not seeing a "sports car" cockpit design (center console) to it. I like the gauge layout with the needles pointing downward, but the cluster housing is too radical. The shifter console looks like a wacky design, and it makes me wonder if they can save space with something a bit more low profile and simpler. Plus, the interior somehow looks cramped.

As for the audio and screen, it looks like we're going to have a heck of a time trying to go aftermarket. It seems like this is the trend for Nissan and Infiniti.

 

I like it!

 

quality looks 10x better.

im eager to see the display and functuality of the left gauge on the steering column.

 

Exact same steering wheel as the new Maxima, which someone had said previously. This is a good thing.

 

Am guessing if they put a computer in the dial on the left then one of the 3 pods in the centre will be a fuel gauge?

Also... It looks like the tops of the dials in the centre fold down to "close" them...

I dont think down to cost, that they will have a screen as standard... even though prices of screens have dropped since the Zed being introduced, esp as most of the features are displayed on the comp on the left hand screen.... Think there will be a cubby IMO

 

I really like the interior. Like everyone else said I want to know what that little screen on the dash is for? This is going to be a nice car like it or not!!!

 

Closer inspection of the driver seat makes it appear to be a cloth seat.

The layout is definitely right hand drive oriented, but not to the point where it isn't functional.

The paddles are on the column and do not rotate with the steering wheel.

The stitching through the center console in a nice touch.

Onc cup holder is visible, another might be in the glove compartment or in the center armrest (my DSM had a cupholder insert in the armrest like that).

No one knows what the center stack will look like without the navigation unit. Nav will likely be a Touring-trim-only option.

The Persimmon interior will not likely be available with all of the exterior colors.

 

very cool find - glad this was posted. Diggin those paddle shifters.. interior looks great..

 

WOW...
Nissan did an amazing job with the new Z.
[: Can't wait for jan.
09 is gonna be the ****!

 

Looks like Nissan took a lot of the interior styling cues from the new Maxima and incorporated them into the 370z. I think the interior is a major upgrade to the current model.

The exterior I'm still deciding whether or not I like it. The 370 has the same basic profile as the 350, but the ***-end looks a lttle short in my opinion. Reminds me of the BMW Z3/4 series....I guess Nissan was attempting to incorporate a little "old school" from the 240z days into the new design.

 

Inside reminds me of a gt-r =)

 

it'd be cool if they borrowed the technology from the GTR for the screen to display all your info. G's, temps, etc.

 

How so? Looks more functional for Left to me.... As a right hand driver, I would prefer the handbreak next to me and the cup holder next to the passanger? However it does give you a good excuse to touch a young ladies leg when you reach for the hand brake!

We get the same tunnel setup you guys get in the US apart from the gear setup is the right way for us...

It shows on the Zed with the centre screen, its set flat, but if you look at mass market cars like the Honda civic, you get different interiors for LH and RH drive so everything is angled at the driver... Saying that the Supra works that way. Nissan save money by making the same centre console for both on the Zed.

Unfortunatly for us Brits, most neiche market cars like the zed are made for the left hand market (more units sold) even on aftermarket stereos the buttons favor the passanger rather than the driver!

Still looks like a much better interior than the 350's, looks like lots for the weightloss guys to chuck out of the wondow!

 

Id say the two different seats are to test the break in and longevity of the new cloth and leather. Two birds with one car! My .02

 

Quality is looks better, but that is waaay too busy. Looks like a Grand Prix dash.

 

Should I post in the Marketplace that I have dibs on the first set of Persimmon seats someone tries to sell? I hope they can be made to fit in the Z33!

 

I think it looks good. From what I can see, the plastics look cheap, but its no luxury car. So we can't expect too much.

NO WAY!!! Those are paddle shifters???

 

I guess I didn't get the memo that the AT versions would come with paddle shifters instead of tiptronic
