Andy what are the requirements for a customer to test drive the 370z? I remember i went to Nissan Serramonte In Daly City Ca, to test drive a 350z and they wouldnt let me test drive it.The reason was i need to get approved on a Loan first and thats when i can test drive one.Bunch of A holes out there, thinking about going there and ask them but i wanna be prepared this time.LOL Thanks!

Wow, can't believe they're on sale already, thought it was gonna be spring. That Carbon Silver model looks nice, would love to see one in black.

Not quite sure what the car sales department is doing but you should try calling them. 626.305.3000.

Yo Andy missed you cuz you were at lunch. Got my oil filters.

Checked out the 370Z, didn't drive it though... not many salesmen around. Looks better in person than in pictures. The rear end looks good, with the stock spoiler on the silver touring model it looks hella good. the front is really not doing it for me. It's wider, seems lower... but it does look shorter than the 350Z. I didn't like the patter on the door panels... looks cheap to me for some reason. I like the dot matrix thing we have on the 350z better.

Overall not a bad change. Some things I liked and something I didn't. I just can't wait to see ppl start modding the 370Z.

For the most part, sales don't want any joy riders on a new model, only those who are serious about buying it. It's more of a requirement that you'll be able to pay for the car.

If you come into the dealership with seriously no intentions of buying the car they usually don't want to give the keys to someone. It's not the sales staff being a-holes, it's just that new models don't flood into the market, they kind of trickle.

It's the same with the GT-R, people would want to test drive the vehicle but we wouldn't let anyone test drive the car til they basically bought the car. A bit different with the Z, but you get the idea.

I was just at Performance Nissan this Saturday. Saw both the silver and white 370s. They looked just "meh" to me. Of course that's just my opinion. The $10k mark-up wasn't helping either. Didn't get to test drive any of em. I was there before the sales department even opened.

I can't get over the vampire front end, but other than that I like.

Good stuff. I might come in for a test drive!
Quick question: Is the trunk big enough to accommodate at least one set of golf bag? That is very important to me.

I was fortunate to get a chance to test drive the 370Z. I walked in didn't expect much from it. It really felt like the current Z33 we own. The interior was a plus I will give it that. The drive well didn't feel that much difference. I still believe the Z33 still looks better. The one thing I will admit that caught my attention is the RevMatch. It was the only thing I was really interested. I suck at heel toe and the RevMatch is a plus for me.

As for the golf club, yes it does fit. I thought about it too when I was looking at the 370Z.
