Maybe surprise should be plural. I certainly think Z fans will be happy with the next offering. I want to see it in person with my eyes, before i go on what my ears tell me.

I think we all know by now the 370z will share the same platform, engine, transmission from the g37 that means that the z will be a little faster since it's lighter.

"Automatic transmission fluid for 370Z is maintenance free"
In any case, I hope to see a 370Z awd.

Is it just me or doesn't it make more sense for the new Z to be a "380Z" instead of 370Z? I realize it's because of the new 3.7ltr vq, but not only does "380Z" sound better it would fit in better to what Z's have been called, hence "280Z" and not to mention a wee bit bigger motor 3.8ltr's. the nismo 380rs doesn't count.
Who gives a **** about a car's name it's about the drive...
It's called the 370z so thats that and it sounds sexy.
Why can't the 280z be a 270z?

The "350Z" was a first as well. There was a 240, 260, 280, 300, but nothing with a 5 in it. Why wasnt everyone complaining there was no 340, 360Z Instead of a 350Z? 370Z is just a new number to add to the line-up. Engine displacement choices will now have ended with a 0,4,5,6,7 and 8.
