The new lines are hideous and it does look just like a catfish from the front. New fascia and wheels help, but those lights are a fail IMO.

At least the $42K sticker price helps me feel better about all the mods I've done to mine.

For 42K, I should only have to lower the car to be happy with it. Not the case with this one...I'm sooo glad I bought an '08 and didn't wait.

That's the 370z Touring w/Sport Package which starts at over $37k. Factor in dealer markup... $42k probably is probably average.

The base model starts at $30k which does not give you 14" brakes, 19" RAYS wheels or the syncromatch 6-speed manual.

Personally I think it's an amazing car.

Hamilton Nissan in Hagerstown got theirs on the 1st. It still has paper on it, but here are some pictures..







Kinda crappy pictures, but there it is! It has the intellegent key which is pretty sweet.. the hood is super light and the doors arent really heavy like the 350s. This one is a 6spd touring.. its nice I like them.

Oh yeah, did i mention that the gas door is H U G E?!?!?!

Its a hot car, you really need to see it in person before bashing it. The lines are indicative of nissans new styling language already seen in the maxima.

The reviews seem to say that every functional aspect of the car has been improved on, minus the brakes. According to motor trend this month our Brembos can pull the heavyier 350z down faster than the lighter 370z's Akebono's. We'll see once they get on the street.

As far as pricing, of course they are going to be marked at full price and many of the early cars will be well optioned. Dealers need some incentives to get the old 350's off the lots. Whos gonna pay the same price for the old schit. 25k for a 350 or 40k for a maxed out 370z. There will be buyers for both.

I can't wait to see what the aftermarket brings for this Z, as we see in this pic the car has great potential.

What is syncromatch 6-speed manual? My buddy is trying to get the 370z and he's deciding between the base and touring model.

Really had a good walk around one today, it looks better in person but I like the 350's
looks alot more. If I was buying my first Z today and I had 40,000 I would still buy the
350 from a looks factor alone, Im sure the 370 is better in every other way and by no means am I bashing it, I really wanted to like it's styling but Im just not feelin it .

Bottomline: It's a "hate-her-or-love-her" kinda car. That's my take, after reading so many of your comments. No middle ground on her! Personally, I like her!
