LOl i think you're saying what most of the people here can't admit.

 

I voted NO:

370Z looks like the ugly child of an M Coupé, a Miata, and an Audi TT. (Yes, in this case it takes 3 cars to make a baby car)

I honestly can't imagine how they could have designed it worse.

 

Yeah i rate it. I reckon it will look better in reality.

The 350z is still very nice though, this just looks a litte more futuristic.

 

Agree, but i think there is time when the designer has to stop and face the reality.

 

Looks like the majority likes what they see with the new Z.

 

Yes.

1. Lighter weight
2. More power
3. Upgraded interior

Simple as that. It's going back to "sports car" status, not "grand tourer".

 

I love it.
1. Interior ROCKS.
2.Body is Rockin'.
3.Bigger engine.

It isn't absolutely how I would like it, but I think it is still a great looking car. Plus it may still look a little different once it gets on the road. I am definitely looking to buy one.

 

Yes
1. Lighter
2. Engine
3. Potential

 

the interior is what has made me like it so much.. very clean

 

What happened to the 370zx?

 

I didn't like the new maxima at first either but it grew on me,
that interior looks great

 

i vote no too, when i look at the 370z it just doesnt flow easily like the 350z does... hopefully my vote changes when i see the car in person

 

I vote YES

 

The 350Z looks nice but it looks like some guy just took a protractor and drew a bunch of arcs to make the shape. Very elementary. The 370Z looks like it was sculpted.

 

Yeah...by the guy in Close Encounters who played with his mashed potatoes.

 

You know what I vote no because all though its a beautiful car it lacks the race car/ sports car look that NISSAN has made its name in making. It actually looks like they should have changed the badge to infiniti. I think the whole car should have been revamped think about it and don't just conform and think its the next big thing. The body is not all that different from the 350z, the lights are ok but it really just looks like the designer hacked away at the 350's lights lol. The wheels are extremely funky looking as well as the tail lights. Plus sure the body is lighter, but remember your running a bigger engine. Also regarding the engine for a 3.7 liter engine im extremely disappointed with the rumored 330-350 hp i mean with 3.7 liters you can pump out so much more. I mean and the increased price plus the whole charge over sticker for supply and demand forget that! I rather by a 03-06 VQ35de format and by an injen intake $290 , jic magic single canister exhaust $799, plenum spacer $210, a cobb tuning access port for tuning and a re flash $680, throw in some good shocks and springs or coil overs with sticky tires and ill take on a 370z any day.

 

about your quote on "90 persent of all ahters are jealous" i guess sometimus that is true but im not jealous about the 370

i honestly dont like it because of the rear hatch, the curves remind me of the older datsun like 240 or 280. Its just like that except more modernized. Also the fender wow that thing is so big and the tires is so tucked in, i cant imagine how much offset and stretch you need to bring them out lol

 

I voted no.

The headlights suck.
The left tailight sucks.
The right taillight sucks.

There's my 3 reasons.

 

I voted yes for

More HP
Less weight
and more HP

I don't give a flying rats *** about the looks.

 

I voted no because there is no confirmed weight reduction. Nissan mentions "lightweight parts" but not a reduced overall weight. I'll believe it when I see it on an independent scale.

As far as the engine having more power, I have been underwhelmed by the dynos for the G37, although it gets good gains with mods. It nearly matches 350s acceleration times, but just because of gearing. But with only ~25 more HP and less torque to the wheels than the HR Z, I'll be surprised if it's significantly faster. If it is faster, I would suspect gearing changes make the majority of the difference. I hope I'm wrong

For the Z to be significantly better, it needs it's own platform and not a slightly modified, shared platform. Time will tell though.

Oh, and the exterior and interior lines are not as simple and pleasing to the eye as the Z33. It's more on the busy side. Too busy for my personal taste. I don;t like the 280zx-looking hatch and that rear quarter-panel is HUGE so they gave the fenders an equally huge vertical flat edge to try to break it ut a bit - like they do with their other econo-cars. And for those that say I'll get used to the interior - I think not. I still MUCH prefer the E46 M3 interior to the E92 M3's.

Check back in 6 months and I may change my tune about the 370 if it turns out to be a brawler. Of if they release a v-8 version with AWD.

Nissan is better at merketing than they are at engineering - R35 GTR excluded, but I am sure they are losing money on that car. The 370Z will be built to be a money-maker, not an envelope breaker.

I actually think the rev-matching manual sounds awesome. I'd love to try it. Who's good at or enjoys heel-toe shifting?
