The black Z is Venture's, and that's him in the last picture. My Z is the white one.

I agree on the black Z looking nice. I've always thought that having colored light emitting from the turned off projector lenses looked gay. This is the first one I've seen where I thought.. that looks nice! It must scare old people every once in a while.. evil red eyes and all.

When I went inside to talk to the sales guy, Venture was outside in his Z with the demon eyes turned on. The sales guy looks outside and immediately noticed it...he came outside to check it out and compliment Venture on the mod.

The black makes the front of the 370Z look like an RX8. Ugh. So far, it only looks great in one color (white) and good in another (Platinum Graphite).

Cool photos. But the point is moot. If you want a new Z, you only have one choice. Time marches on.

Nice Pictures. I still like the 350Z better . Just looking at rear of both the black 350z and 370Z, you can tell the visibility is even more limited now. Just looking at the rear 370Z, it has a slight less slope to the hatch (adding to less visibility). The bottom of the glass is a bit more rounded then the 350Z (adding even more visibility issues), a couple inches shaved off the vent glasses too (looks like a peep hole, almost zero visibility). Haven't sat in one yet, but my guess is you can't see **** behind you, let alone around you. I hardly see anything out the back windshield in my NISMO, I can only image with this car. But at least nissan did add one thing, or should i say "taken away" something to help you see better out the back windshield. No Rear Wiper! I'm gonna test drive one soon, maybe the idea of not moving my feet around so much while downshifting will take my mind off what's behind me That synchroRev match manual transmission should be fun.

You're right. We would have asked you to come up with your Z for the pics, but we didn't wanna any curbed rims in the photos

I sat in one Fri night and it seemed the same. I'm 6'4" so I was curios about head / leg room. I could sit up straight and had an inch or so of head room without the seat being all the way back. Seemed like it actually had more head room.

I heard the car was somewhat smaller than the 350 so I was expecting it to feel tighter but it was not. Seats looked to be higher quality but felt roughly the same.

Default Looks chunky

I agree that it looks newer, refreshed. But - the front (IMO) looks higher...a bit less elegant. Back looks more rounded. I always thought the rear taillights (350) looked nicely blended in - a work of art. The 370 - not so much.

Anyone know if the front-end treatment is required so it can meet new accident standards? You know - the same standards that have made most new BMW's look hideous. In case you hit a pedestrian, the front-end has to 'cradle' them. The 350 will take most people out at the ankle/calf - lol.
