Pics of 350z VS 370z
I know I will probably get flamed for this, but at the LA auto show I was really really disappointed in the looks, seemed to be less classy and more techy in a celica sort of way (not good to me). Then I looked at the interior and drooled. This is how Nissan should have done the interior finish!!!.
Now, I have seen a couple on the road and my opinion is changing, the car looks better while driving, a few things I like about it:
1. The rear bumper has a little more flare and is less boring just between the tail pipes.
2. The rear end looks pretty good, a bit more aggressive
3. The lights are growing on me.
4. 19" aggressive wheels stock, with better offsets as well.
5. Rear end fender/wheel flares seem more aggressive/wider (BUT, see #4 below)
Here are things I really miss (see my pics below) or don't like:
1. The waist line on the 350z seems like such a clean and attractive styling cue. It is/was one of my favorite things about the car. WIth the new shape and how the back end "droops" that waste line is lost.
2. The 350 was a little longer and didn't have as much of a squaty look. Of course this is personal opinion, but I really liked the look an dimensions of the 350 when it was lowered just a tiny bit and had 19" wheels on it.
3. The C-Pillar seemed to flow better on the 350.
4. Why does nissan continue to make the area around the wheel wells so freakin BIG and flat. Why cant they just flare the fenders without that lame outline? Someone needs to stop this trend. It is something I didn't like on the 350 and now on the 370, altima and maxima it is getting RIDICULES!!
5. The front end (short) look of 350 better
I find it ironic that the GTR has more similar styling cues to the 350 than the 370 (front lights, C-pillar, waist line, etc...)
now since I am comparing a stock 370 to a slightly modded for my style 350, if I compare a stock 370 to a stock 03 350 base with those hideously small and wrong offset 17" wheels on the base. I would probably have to say a new stock 370 looks better than that.
