Default Looking back on it months ago

Remember these? It's funny or interesting to see all these early spy videos and hidden "outline" at Nissan 360. You know they had the car done long ago.

I was actually thinking about this today, all that time in the last year or so with the spy pics up and around I thought to myself "nah they won't make it look that bad" and then when it got released a fortnight ago I said to myself "oh... they did"

Funny how times flies...

I remember that first spy photo - thinking what did they do?
Tape a 350Z rear bumper to the back of that 370Z???

dont forget the proteus bashing thread where he saw the design over a year ago.

"I was part of a marketing focus group a few weeks ago and they revealed the 370Z to us and got our opinions. It looked amazing. It reminded me of a shark of sorts -- the tail lights look like crecents or 'boomerangs'. It was 330+ HP, 200lbs lighter than the 350Z, and they are targeting a 30,000-32,000 base MSRP."

BTW, I just received the Jan 09 issue of Car and Driver and in that magazine
is the print ad that I gave my opinion on.
You're super cool, waizzz You were pretty much dead on! Thanks for your contribution to the Z community.

I think they were referring to the other guy who claimed to see the new Z.
