Nissan 370Z
Supposedly, Nissan will launch at the Paris Motor Show in September, a renovated 350Z, fitting a 3.7l engine, taking the power output ro 330hp. Car should be hitting showrooms in 2009.

Re: Nissan 370Z
Should make second hand prices for the 350Z even more interesting (GD, are you listening  )

Re: Nissan 370Z
Wonder though if this will take potential buyers of the GT-R away, since you'll get very good performance, at a substantial cheaper price.

Re: Nissan 370Z
But, the model that parks just a stones throw from here, is Butt ugly, even if it does fly? No Likkey' Flacid design imo.Not that my opinion counts for anything, ever.

Re: Nissan 370Z
I have to disagree with you ZF. I think the 350Z looks lovely.

Re: Nissan 370Z
Beauty in the eye of, I guess. I can detect a wonky number plate at a mile distant. With my telescopic reticule, naturally, some times.

Re: Nissan 370Z
Are you sure it's a 350Z? I find it surprising as it's widely recognised as a pretty good looking car.

Re: Nissan 370Z
I like the 350Z, the styling the RWD the power.. I would much rather have one of those than a certain Alfa coupe that is a similar price.

Re: Nissan 370Z
Sort of dark bronze colour, and I saw one at Millbrook I think, when they first came out,?  : So who am I to criticise design?  : I think Centurions and Cheftains, and Challengers are pretty, so It's a warped view I have, fer' sure!  :

Re: Nissan 370Z
The one I see, sawed, looks sort of 'Podgey' like.

Re: Nissan 370Z
They are very popular here since you get a lot of power and handling for your money. From some angles they look great and then sometimes they look a bit odd - not completely finished.
Have never driven one though
