Not to discredit the 370Z, I like alot of things about it. But remember that shots taken from a closer range like in the one taken of the 370 look better because it looks more dramatic. The 350 is taken at a very boring view.
Jsut look at how big a difference it made in these shots of basically the same car.

Am I the only one who thought this was going to be a 2009 car? Both this 'official' and the Road and Track 'official' article (both supposedly solicited by Nissan) call it a 2010 Z car. Oh well, guess that just means I'll be putting in a bigger down payment...

Nobody said they aren't. The rims on the euro car are likely the sports package 19" (look like 19s to me) wheels. The ones in the US are 18" base spec rims.

I don't like the smaller sized front intake area and have never liked the headlights and tail lights but realize there's nothing I can do about it if I wanted to buy the 370Z. Because the car has been shortened, this throws the proportions off and makes the whole front of the car seem higher (roof to ground) and more bulky, especially from the windshield forward. The bulkiness coupled with the small front intake gives the car a "punched in the nose" look. To me, the overall design looks forced instead of open, natural, and flowing.
I've seen enough now and feel pretty sure I will keep my 350Z but will naturally want to go see the 370Z in person when it's available. For me, there's just not enough there to warrant switching.

The car looks big from up front, sorta GT-R ish. (I know the headlight masking kinda makes it seem that way too, but i'm talking about the general presence the car gives when looking at it from this angle).

Could someone plz chop these images to make the 370Z a little smaller to show the difference in wheel base? The 350Z pic is taken from a farther distance, so the 370Z appears huge next to it.

If someone was to do this, they need to ensure that both or neither picture was taken with a wide angle lense to give a true sense of the proportions.
