I've found the exact opposite to be true. My wife and I cruised through Crossroads Nissan tonight after it was closed and were able to see several 370Zs along with many 350Zs. She isn't into cars at all (other than liking the G sedan we already have) and she thought the 370Z looked much better. She was telling me that when we get the 370Z she was going to be driving it and I'd be "stuck" with the G, lol... I haven't run into anybody who thinks the 350Z looks better other than the people on this site who own one.

Sometimes I think this forum exists in a "350Z" vacuum and it refuses to live in the "real" universe where the 350Z isn't actually considered a "beautiful" car, albeit a nice one, and that most people think the 370Z is a big improvement.

It is funny to hear people on this forum use the words "beautiful, classy, timeless, flowing, to describe the 350Z. I think the standards on this forum are a little out of wack. "Beautiful, classy, timeless, etc." is an Alfa 8C, Mercedes Gullwing, etc. not a 350Z. It is a nice looking car that is a great bargain but "beautiful, timeless"??

Judging from those comparison pictures, I would definitely say the 350 looks better. The hatch looks horrible on the 370 and the headlights and taillights are just awful. From other pictures though, the interior is a vast improvement.

I'll admit I own a 350 but I don't think it's some super special car... and I personally couldn't care less if a newer more expensive version looked better.

The Alfa is beautiful regardless of price. The 350Z is nice looking "considering" its price.

If I'd never seen the 370Z and they released this version above I'd like it (it's the same car minus a couple of details) but having seen what Nissan actually released your chop looks terrible compared to it. I like the direction Nissan/Infiniti is going with their cars. Nissan has really become a trendsetter as far as the designs of some of their vehicles and everything flows really well on the 370Z. And like someone else said, this 350Z site isn't representative of how the majority of people feel about the Z. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and this is the only Nissan car site that has people saying negative things about the car (not a coincidence by the way since this is a 350Z forum)...
If the headlights looked like that I would have this car on my list. The front bumper still would need to go but at least an eyebrow could man up the lights. I dont mind the tail lights but the headlights are offensive on the real car.

The Alfa is beautiful, except the face reminds me of a clown.

Hmm, you are saying the Alfa is hideous? Oh, my!

It is known around the world as one of the most beautiful production cars. Now I see how some of you guys think the 370Z is hideous.

It is a good thing Nissan hasn't hired some of the self proclaimed car designers on this forum. They would go bankrupt in a hurry.

Have you seen one in person? Looks beefier but smaller. Well, because it is.

The 370z looks more modern.
The 350z has nicer lines.

When did I ever title myself as a "designer"?

I play around with photoshop. Big deal.
Why don't you b*tch about the chop even more? I might even throw up another for you.

Instead of criticizing my chop to no end and b*tching about it like a woman... throw up one of your own and show everyone what would make it "beautiful" in your eyes.

True, you didn't call yourself a designer. My bad. Don't know if I can do any better so I won't even attempt.

you need to get your eyes checked if you think those two cars look anything alike.
