a family friend of mine was recently hired as a test driver for the new Z. he said that when he drove it there was so much camouflage on the car that he could hardly see out of the windows.

 

a lot of girls look bomb with clothes on....

will see wat the exterior looks like after the camo is removed, but i definitely love the exterior. its funny how ppl hated lots of buttons in the interior of their car but seems as if everyones opinion is changing...lol

 

samething my pops said when he was test driving the RX-8 before its debut

 

Full on rear shot. I photoshoped the drop and removed the black and silver tape and kinda gave the lights some of the shape that was taped up. Looks very Porsche like overall but a bit plain to some.


Original Picture


Photoshoped obviously.

 

i saw a blue one without camo in person @ Westside Group Auto in Torrance/CA a little over a month ago, car looks banging in person, I think it's making a debut @ SEMA this year, if not, LA Autoshow.

 

the flared fenders on the new Z put the e9X M3 to shame

 

Nissan will sell millions of em' ... period.

 

Some photoshops I did of different color that is available for the 350z. Not sure what colors will be available for the 370z but Im sure some of them will carry over.

 

i agree

 

The car looks alright but just not feeling the shrinkage. Why make it smaller? I think it won't sell as well as the 350.

 

because the current/old generation 350z was unnecessarily large especially for a two seater sports car. plus the 370z is supposed to be at least 200lbs lighter and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

and to add another note shrinking cars are going to become a reoccurring theme here in the states over the next coming years. as a means of making cars more economical.

 

there is no flow with most interior designs from japan these days. lots of scoops and cut outs that just dont look right. nsx still holds as the best looking japanese car ever, inside and outside....

 

i'd rather buy a used 350z....

 

If this one truly is smaller/lighter, it's going to be a great little sports car.

Good for them if they can pull it off.

 

I would say that's your opinion. The current model isn't too big in my opinion. I always thought it was a little smallish but understood why since my mom had a 280ZX when I was growing up. The current model is perfect in size to me. Smaller will make it look like a cheaper car. Less quality and more like a toy. It will be reduced a level by many. Especially people my size. I can't see men over 6-2, 250lbs driving it. They'd look silly. It's going to be a boy racer or a car for little people. That means less sales.

I wanted a Lexus SC430 because it is the only coupe Lexus makes. But I couldn't fit in the thing. Then I thought about it and I don't see any larger sized men driving one. Lexus was awfully stupid because love it or hate it, the car is very stylish but there are lot's of men who couldn't fit inside, which means lost sales. There maybe enough interior room in the new 370Z but with a smaller car, headroom will be challenged and larger guys will feel like they are in a sardine can. Americans don't usually buy cars where they feel uncomfortable.

BTW, I ended up getting a G35. Loved the car but felt like a sardine. My wife hated seeing my big head and shoulders cramped in that car. She thought is was a cheap-looking image. Like shoes that don't fit your feet. Lasted a year, I had to get out of that thing.
