370z!

[danny_tq]

Cant wait to get a 370z!

in a few years 2nd hand that is.....

All the reviews seem to be very positive.

IMO it looks nicer than the g37, whereas I prefer the look of the g35 over the 350z.

The performance gap between the two cars seems to have widened as well...

Good the hear they fixed a lot of the main criticisms of the old z...being the extremely harsh ride, cheap interior, weird looking rear etc.

Also whilst the old rx8 v 350z debate was a close one, new rx8 v 370z, is a no brainer, definately goes to the Z....seems like Nissan is focusing on their sports car herritage and mazda and their cute little mazda 3...

so what are everyone's opinions?

The RX8 vs 350Z debate was close?

The 350Z was quicker everywhere than the RX8 aside from constant switchbacks. The only place the RX8 is noticably better is in "feel" and practicality.

Is a rotor practical?

[scathing]

Probably not, but a four door for seat car with a reasonable boot is more practical than a 2 seater with a giant metal girder bifurcating the rear storage even if the engine goes through petrol and oil like its going out of fashion.

I wasn't talking about speed, but all round performance, practicality, looks etc

nah v36 all the way! Bet you I can buy a v36 cheaper than a 370z in 2 years time

i dont like the look of the new v36

Really, I reckon that all the pictures and the one real version I have seen makes them look quite desirable. Is there anything that you don't like in particular?

Different to a V35 and both of them have there own attractiveness...

[BLISTC]

i dont know....

it just doesnt look anywhere near as agressive or appealing to me as the v35

it seems more like a 2 door family car..

I agree

i think with the 350z and v35, its was difficult to differntiate the two since they had nearly identical performance, but g35 had the extra 2 seats and comfort.

with the 370z and v37, they have tried to differentiate the two, by pushing the 370z more towards the sports car/performance side of things and the v37 towards the luxury side of things...

these minor chnages have actually resulted in the differences between the v37/370z increasing comapred to the v35/350z

[BLISTC]

yeh originally i wanted a 350z but i needed the practicality of more than 1 passenger seat. so the v35 was a no brainer.

[Yo-Yo]

ooh yeah bring on the 370z, more parts for my car at the end of the day

I never warmed to the look of the v35

The new Z looks a bit funny but in a good way, it's interesting to look at, plus it will share the same push button start as the v37, and hopefully it will come with the same touchscreen satnav setup because it means I might be able to get mine working properly. the v37 has AV input cables so you can watch videos through the AUX. I just have to find out how to stop it cutting out when you put the car in gear

If the oz delivered 370z models have the hard drive aswell that will be good too, The previous owner in Japan recorded some music in the hard drive, some of the songs aren't bad either, wish I could understand it

I like the look of the g37, but not a fan of that little rear spoiler!
