Nissans new ride

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/29/officially-official-nissan-drops-370z-ahead-of-la-debut/

What do you guys think, I think it looks sick but I read it will only come in auto like the new GT-R

I don't like how the headlights and taillights have the notches in them but other than that I like the 370z. In the grad scheme of things the 3** series Z cars are a disgrace to the Z lineage. If they wanted to stick to the Z line they should have released the 240Z concept that's floating around. I would much rather see that.

i think it looks like a bmw z4

I have been waiting for someone to post this.... All about it. I really like the new Z cars like the Z33 and on, I also really like the old Z cars I just don't much care for the Z32. If I ever have the money in the future I would probably try perusing possession of the 370Z. That is unless they decide to release the new S chassis.

but I have an unfair bias towards Nissan.

Taillights and rims make it a no for me but replace them hahaha and you got a sexy car... But I would take the car either way for sure.

TOTALLY DOES!!!!

The interior is bad ass, but they made it way to "Roundy" for my liking, The Z needs to be more square and block like i think....

Its a z car not a subie. It should be sleak, not a fucking brick on wheels.

And is it just me or does it look like it shrunk??? lol...When i use to sell at Nissan in Calgary the manager told me Nissan is comig out with new Z a year after this comes out it's the 390Z, 450hp! Apparently after the GT-R is disscontiuned they are going to roll with the 390Z to still have some major sport car...

390Z sounds weird lol but 450hp is impressive

there is "the sketch" but will prob look nothing like this, lol

Classic Z's all the way. The original 240Z is by far the best of the Z's

lol when the new subies came out i was sooo pissed! i like created a forum and what not on how dumb they looked...When i was looking for one to buy i wasn't even goign to look at the 08's but i did just to see what it was like....trust me it grows on you, look at all the subaru forums. Everyone hated them when they came out, and now its the best selling subaru in history!

i really like how the new subarus look
besides the forester they fucking destroyed that
but the hatchback sti is amazing


and to keep it it on topic i hate the new nissan
not that i liked the old one though

imo that looks more "blobby" then the 370z.

the z cars always have character.

Do you know what I like more....... Nissans, in the Nissan thread. Can't we have just one good RWD thread.I swear that I will start posting more AWD converted to RWD in your off roading threats.

The 370z has really grown on me, even with the ridiculous headlights/taillights. The big fenders make that car, but a retro approach would have been much cooler. Is this supposed to be just a refresh?

I hope not... lol

Z32 is the car i wanted to buy for a long time and was saving for. Then my dad came along and says i have to get a newer car if i want some of his money. So hopefully in a couple years when I have a job again I will buy one (prefferably a 300 but i love all z's). As for the 370's I dont really like the headlights and taillights but its got a 3.7L that pushs 330hp and the car is lighter then the 350's witch sounds pretty good to me. I hope that Nissan will change the lights before it is released tho.

it looks like it would be a pretty cool ride

I think the back profile of the car is really reminiscent of the old Z cars. there have been rumors that Nissan will bring back the S chassis. I think it is cool that Nissan is at times willing to take chances with their designs. They kind of relaxed them over the past few years so it is nice to see cool cars again. I like the headlight and tail lights on the new Z they are different but that is what makes them stick out.
