Thoughts on the new 370Z

-=Hot|Ice=- · 11-16-2008, 03:33 PM

Thoughts?

Buffalo_Bush · 11-16-2008, 03:35 PM

they screwed up on the front head lights.

aut0sh0cker · 11-16-2008, 03:37 PM

I like the look of the 350z more, but the increased performance capabilities of the new platform should more than make up for it... we will see.

TheLegend · 11-16-2008, 03:38 PM

I think it looks great, as which any redesign there will always be haters, which eventually grow to love them.

DinoMite · 11-16-2008, 03:47 PM

Japanese cars look bland to me.

JDLM · 11-16-2008, 03:50 PM

I think this is the wrong section for this question, that is just me

asdflkijd · 11-16-2008, 03:50 PM

looks like a hyundai, but I guess this is more in line with the G37 look-wise...

sd390r · 11-16-2008, 03:53 PM

ehhhh

ChaneRZ · 11-16-2008, 04:10 PM

engine is great, but the looks is ugly.

darkphantom · 11-16-2008, 04:22 PM

wrong section.

looks almost EXACTLY the same...improved engine afaik.

lights are now curved

nice,but not for me.

Inzane · 11-16-2008, 05:42 PM

Nice.

Definitely better looking than the GT-R.

mmm def · 11-16-2008, 06:06 PM

I like it so far, should move pretty nicely.

GregL · 11-16-2008, 06:09 PM

It's shorter and lighter than the old one, I'm sure a good number of 3-series drivers would appreciate if BMW were to make the same move, though I guess we now have the 1-series anyway.

Universal_Magnetic · 11-16-2008, 06:09 PM

like everything except for the new headlights

josephr25 · 11-16-2008, 06:45 PM

I do not like the looks at all. That said, all the performance is there, as well as a vastly updated interior.

They finally moved the rear torsion bar forward, relieving some trunk room.

370Z = sex

My previous car was a 350Z Roadster, and I had hoped the 370Z would be better looking. The headlights look squinty, but I'm sure we'll get used to them as they're also used on the Maxima. The car is shorter and lighter, which will aid performance, and the roofline is visibly different. However, there are two problems that will probably carry over: 1) Buzzy engine at high revs (Infinity G37 is characterized by this), and 2) If you drive this car in a cold climate, the 6MT will balk at the 1-2 upshift until the trans warms up. If you manhandle it and succeed in pulling it into 2nd, the syncros won't mesh and it will grind. The 350Z was my 3rd MT Nissan ('93 through '07), and they all did it. The Z is an incredible car but I would never buy another one unless I move to a warmer climate.
