I'm really liking it. Good post!

I like the interior a lot, too. Looks like some stitching down the center. I like the perf'd steering wheel, too.

Ironically out of all the pics and spy video for the 370Z these are my least favorite. i really dont like the styling too much in these photos. maybe its bra? Though i do like the interior more. Pitty about 7500 redline BUT they said it SHOULD put more to the floor than the G37. Lets hope so.

They are speculating just like any member would here.

My guess is that it'll produce the same output, whether its 330hp or whether Nissan decides to bump the output for both vehicles.

Again, just my speculation.

Personally, I like it a lot. There's no way I would have gotten the previous version, but this might be enough to satisfy my needs. The old model was close, but not quite sporty enough. This looks like it has potential... not to mention a better design, inside and out. It looks a LOT less cheap to me, and I'm not ashamed to admit that for my money, I demand style as well. The exterior looks very promising... even with all the BS cladding and concealment... loving the wheels on the other proto spied in Germany.

I think Nissan knows first year sales will be strong as it is, being a new model and less weight/more power. They will rate it at 330 and be done with it. Sure, it can make more, but it's such a big enough improvement as it is to garner enough interest.. don't show all your cards at once. They'll leave that little bit of performance on the table in case they need it... maybe a year or 2 out for an additional 10-20 hp. Nothing new, here. Standard operating procedure.

If it comes in at 3200 pounds and with 330 hp, it will obliterate much of the competition as it is, with a great power-weight ratio. As it ages, throw in another bit of power when you need it to keep it fresh...

But Nissan has done a good job. As someone who would have not purchased a 350Z, but is now interested in a 370Z, they've hit their mark. More power, lighter weight, better design and better materials are worth a little more money for this potential buyer.

look how they deliberately taped off the area where the boomerangs are after the whole bra/camo setup was put on, its like they realized the boomerangs were still showing so they grabbed some black duck tape to cover them up to hide/confuse/create talk about headlight changes and maybe make some people actually like the new design

It looks like this is the base model. The wheels and body are slightly different. The tires seem to be a different aspect ratio too.
