Looks way more aggressive.

 

Thanks ZZtopp for doing what I was trying to do. This clearly shows the difference between the two cars. To me the 370Z looks more modern and flows better.

 

I agree. That is what I have been saying all along too. Nissan got this one right. They brought back some 240Z design cues and that is a wonderful thing. I wonder what took them so long. I wonder which studio/designer designed this?

 

in my opinion it looks like the updated version of a 240. I personally don't see much from the other models. Not complaining, I like it.. but it's VERY similar to me.

 

I love those 240's...If only I could fit lol and had the space to store one Id love to have one...

 

I wish it was January already...
:<

 

I like it!!!!!

 

Good question. The C6 is a tough act to follow, but I've already had two (roadster and coupe) and I get bored with a car after two or three years and want something different....and "different" does not always translate into "better."

I'm waiting for the prices of used AMV8's to drop even further, and that will probably be my next car. If I can't find one that's priced right by next summer, then a 370Z roadster will probably find it's way into my garage. I'll have to see how good the car looks in person at the LA Auto Show.

 

word....

 

Looks way better

 

zsport1, is that your 240Z? If so, what is in it? I had two 240Z's, a "70" and "71". Had the L28 with TWM throttle bodies with individual runners, among other things. Mmm, can't wait for the 370Z to come out. Been a long time since I wanted a Z this much. There should be some nice after market goodies for it.

 

I keep drooling over the next Z, and I have lost all anxiety of having to sell my Z should I need to.

 

I'm not Mark, but I know him. And that's not the only Z like that. Another friend of mine here in SA has 280Z (same body style) that is just as sweet and just as much HP. It's straight black with white interior.

 

I don't think the 370z looks anything like the 240z except for the A pillar and the bottom outline of the side window.

The 240's roof and hatch is a curve, the 370's roof has a straight downward decline starting from the top of the A pillar until it meets the trunk. The 240 has no trunk, the slope ends at the end of the hatch.

The 240 has no bulging fenders.

The 370 looks pretty much like the 350 but with different headlight, taillight, bigger bulging fenders, shorter trunk, different side windows.

The 240z is one of the better looking vintage cars but i don't see much of it's dna in the 370z.

 

Look at this pic and tell me you do not see 240 DNA...... It looks JUST like a futurized 240. To me at least.....

 

I hope that the inside space remain the same...Making it smaller on the inside would be a bad thing...

 

Honestly only the A pillar and outline of the bottom of the side window reminds me of the 240z.

These pics look almost 350z like.

 

And plus for those people that don't like it, they should consider that a change was necessary if Nissan wants to sell the new z. Otherwise, people would've said "who cares, it looks just like a 350 but with more power or a lil better interior." So no matter what, they had to make some changes, right? I think we should be glad it's not a complete makeover, imagine a hatchback z (lmao) like the new Sti...LoL!

 

Yup.....and what I like about the new roof line is that without the curve at the top of the A pillar it looks less like the Audi TT roof line, which IMHO is a good thing. I do wish the bottom window line didn't droop down quite as much before curving back up. A less upright A pillar and a smaller side window would have have made the car look even more aggressive like the AMV8:

 

I have owned two 240Z's, my brother one and my father one. I used to just look at every body panel from every angle on the 240Z, over and over. Yes, I was a little obsessed but hey, I was (am) a big time fan of the Z. I have been following Z's since my father took me on a high speed drive in his 240Z on the highway as a young kid. He told me, "son, you' need to have one of these". :-)

Anyway, the first thing I said when I say the 370Z was, wow, it reminds me of the 240Z, my brother had the same first reaction. We are not the only ones who thinks this. Just read the forum posts and car magazines. That photo of the 370Z at the gas station really reminds me of the 240Z I had, which was lowered and had fat low profile tires. It had the similar body lines when looking at it from that angle too.
