No, I would not buy a Z34.

I bought an 08 Nismo for an absolute steal so I will be off the market for the forseeable future. Like many here, I am not fond of the Z34's styling and the marginal increase in performance and interior styling is not commensurate with the higher price (when you throw in equipment that was mostly standard in the Z33, i.e., the LSD, forged wheels, etc.).

I plan to buy one, but not the 2009. I try not to buy the first year of a new car, and with the economy being what it is, waiting seems to be the prudent thing to do.

I basically like the 370Z, especially the new interior, but more than likely by the time I get ready to move on from my 350Z ill be looking for something completely different. Who knows.

Love the performance numbers it's pumping out and the interior is a bit better too, but like many others have said, the styling is aweful. I'll keep what I have, if I was looking to upgrade i think the Evo X and 335i would be picks first up, and money being available I'd look at the new Cayman or M3.

I'll wait till Nissan comes out with either a V8 or a TT. NISSAN ARE YOU LISTENING?

Not worth it to upgrade at this point and I don't like the looks of the 370Z (Headlights, buttplug)

I liked where Nissan was going with the design of the 350. They were headed in the right direction. Then came the 370, too little too late for the ricer import scene as far as looks. They should been thinking more exotic

After seeing the design of the 370z, I bought my 08 Z without hesitation. The performance increase is marginal, and my HR with the bolt ons I have is definitely fun enough for now. Once it is paid off and the warranty is up a turbo will come.

I most likely will not get one. I personally dislike the styling of it very much - especially (and mostly due to) the lights - front and back. I test drove one a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately the dealership only had an auto for test driving - but I wasn't impressed enough for me to overcome the style issues. The interior is nicer than my 07 and I like the smart key, although the paddle shifting really wasn't that great. So overall I don't think I will be getting one.

Seeing the 370Z's sitting at the lot makes them look ugly. But I FINALLY saw one on the road yesterday and damn oh damn was it sexy

So most likely no, but it be nice to just buy one and have both

I think the best way to not make it ugly is to get a new front fascia kit

I had no Z, i wanted another one. I did not want a 08 with diminished value due to the 370z. I knew 370z was coming so i just waited it out. So i bought a 370z like i planned.

Since the sales of the Z are up compared to last year and this year is supposivly a "bad" economy, that says the Z is a hit so far, but we will see for the rest of the months.

Interesting how many of you do not like the new headlights. In my opinion the 350Z or 370Z is a work of art compared to the front of a GT-R which to me looks like a Hoover Vacuum cleaner.

i don't think so. gt-r is a "man" car. not some queer wanna be... like the 370.

you feel me ? flaming might work for tv networks, but not for hot rods.
