After seeing a short video about them by Nissan online, I was originally impressed, but after looking at them in real life I was quite dissappointed. It might not have helped much that the dealership I went to had the worst color selection imaginable; they looked like a couple easter eggs or something. They had a baby blue, a yellow, and a light silver. I'm pretty sure I hate the headlights and tail lights; I read on here how someone said it looks like the cars have down syndrome and I can totally see where they are coming from. The extra power would be nice but the cars seem to resemble a z4 or something which I feel is a fairly feminine sports car. There seemed to be less room with the exception of the hatch where they'd changed the support brace which I really like on the 350's despite the annoyances they cause sometimes. And what the hell is up the random piece of swayed leather on the door panels? It looks tacky as hell. The rest of the interior is nicer though.
Overall I'm unsatisfied and will probably go with a Vette next go around, my girlfriend on the otherhand liked the 370s pretty well mentioning that she thought they were 'cute'.

 

Over here in mex. the 370z is too expensive, its 600k Pesos, its going to be a loooong time till I can buy one , also they didnt come out with the brembo brakes, just plain altima ones

 

I live in FL and love my 350 roadster. I have seen the pics of the 2010 roadster and to me it looks like a BMW Z4. Not good. I will keep my 350

 

I was really interested in buying one at first, but I work at a dealer and get to drive them daily, and I prefer my 350 (hr). The 370z is a really nice car, and I think the interior and the MT is a huge improvement, but the car is not as fun to drive.

It may perform better, but its like when Top Gear compared the GTR and R8. The GTR was the top performer, but the R8 ending up getting car of the year because the experience was better.

The 350 is more raw IMO with a stiffer clutch and heavier steering. The other big thing is the sound. The sound of the 3.7 is HORRIBLE.

For me, there isn't that much of a difference to justify the money.

 

i went to nissan today and i was gonna trade in for nismo but they couldn't bring any good number on my face so i said "NO" to them......i can't pay $42k for nismo

 

thank GOD! i mean come on, $42k for a nissan, cough i mean nismo Z?
i can't justify that. i would rather spend that more effectively elsewhere

 

yea for the 42k of a new nismo 370z you could get a used porsche 996 turbo

and for the 34k of a base model (sport) 370z you could get a used NSX that will rape a 370z

So I'm having trouble justifying a 370z considering the nsx is only going to go up in value as a collector and the 370 will only go down

 

i wouldn't say an nsx would "rape" a 370z.. maybe a 350z DE would get raped..

they are nice cars though, but getting old

 

...the yellow one, beautiful...the gray one, AWESOME!

 

These types of posts are a hoot.. They always say I can get this or that for the price. But do they actually buy that better $42k car or that old and tired 996tt or some 10+y/o nsx? Just curious

 

Even though it eats mustangs for lunch (like that's a challenge) I am trading in my G35 coupe for a 370 Nismo

 

nope, I decided after seeing several in person in different colors that I dont like the front....at all. I really like the look of the back though, its hot. The 370 interior rocks, but I can live with the 350 interior. I plan on keeping the 350 and dropping in some suspension mods and TT once I drive stock motor to death and build it. I only owe 9k on my 350...

 

I don't have a Z but I really like the older 350Z way better, this new one either hasn't grown on me or just not diggin the design. Looks OK in black

 

Seems like a mod company could make a killing if they figured out a cheap way to replace those front headlights. That seems to be the #1 complaint on the 370, and it's also my complaint as well. I can't stand those front headlights, they are trying way too hard as mentioned.

Also someone mentioned the sound of the 370 being bad, and one of the most appealing things about a 350 or a G is the sound.

Dare I say the Altima coupe design team seems to have done a better job than the 370 design.

 

Don't you see the trend? Nissan like a lot of other manufacturers seem to be focusing their aim at more mature buyers. More linear power delivery, less noise just more refined..Same goes for the new GTI R32, STI and Evo X etc... They all want to distance themselves from the kid racer image they had in their previous models. Not to mention higher prices to boot.

You also mentioned the Altima coupe..Not surprising..Like Eclipse's, Scion's and Civics si's their all clearly marketed toward younger drivers.

 

Will you buy the new Nissan 370Z?

eventually.

 

If it had more leg room!!!

 

3 years from now i would.

 

its a tough choice i test drove one today(6mt) vs my 5 at felt great..cant really say i can compare a 6mt 350z since i have a 5at but it was fun and yea it kinda grew on me..not sure if i want an 07 08 hr or the 370 now but damn i loved it

 

I have had my 2004 350z for about a month now, and have run into a few 370's on the road...suprisingly, the more I see them, the more I prefer the 350 style better. For me it's the headlights, I just cant get past them...they DO remind me of a Z4/Miata/Saturn SKY which is NOT a good thing. I have no doubt the interior is nicer and who wouldn't like more HP, but what is more important than how the car looks from the outside???
