I'm getting one early 3rd year. Give 'em time to work out the wrinkles... and for the incremental hp boost.

I wouldn't personally. I don't dig the styling, but on the contrary, the power gain would be nice although Im sure it is going to be minimal within the first few years of production (compared to the HR). I'll stick with the Z33...

The link doesn't work for me for some reason, but I've seen pics of it which I have saved to my comp. I'm sure all of you have covered it here already...

I love the body styling from the quarter panel window back. IMO, the headlight style should stay on the Maxima and the Maxima alone. I like how the quarter panel window is reminiscent of the S30 Z's. Other than that, it's just a body-update of the Z33, although I have to say it's a big improvement; no offense, guys...but I think Nissan got the 370Z right in terms exterior design of a Z that "pays tribute" to the Datsuns, and touched up on what they missed with the Z33.

But damn...those curvy hips! Yummy... Although, the rear is still too bulbous for me. For once, I'd be more interested in a flat booty than a bubble butt.

As for getting one, yeah I'd wait a couple years at least to work out the kinks with the bigger displacement.

Don't get me wrong, bro, I can't stand the headlights and taillights. The headlights don't match on the Z34, but I think they do on the '09 Maxima's. And the taillights...they just need to be changed completely. Again, the link still doesn't work for me for some reason...all I get are ads...but I saw some pics of it and with the headlights and a front view, the front clip looks like a beefed-up S2000. It's weird.

Overall, though, I honestly would get one. A new car would be nice, not having to worry about wear from age and breaking down (much like my Z32)
