On another note, some more pictures:

The large bottom is noice
Very 911-ish from the back. Some 11" wide wheels should fit nicely under there.

The looks are growing on me,IMO i absolutely hated the 350Z styling, going from the semi exotic looking 300ZX Twin Turbo to the bloated 350Z was a slap in the face for many Z fans. This one is a tad easier on the eyes and it has styling cues of the origional 240Z. But from these recent pictures, some of the angles makes the car look questionable.

This is a car that I will have to see in person to to give it the proper critiquing.

I liked the Z's but I just honestly thought they were boring. Hate to say it, reminded me of a japanese mustang! A lot of torque and blandness. I briefly owned an 03 before my 8 and my brother owned an 04 modded Z for about a year, and my cousin still owned a supercharged 03 Z. I like them, but I prefer a car that I wont see 100 times everyday on the way to work. My .02

I agree 100% certain colors at certain angles looks questionable but would have to check it out in the flesh to really decide.

370z replaces the 350z, like how the G37 replaced the G35. It wont be kept along side the 350z. 2nd of all, it start in the low 30s, not in the 40-45k range.

you remember wrong

http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/model...3?modelId=6153

They are continuing the 350z roadster only.

++++++++++++++

The 2009 Nissan 350Z convertible returns to this Japanese manufacturer's lineup. The 350Z hardtop coupe has been discontinued pending a redesign due in calendar 2009, at which point it likely will be dubbed the 370Z. The 350Z convertible uses the same basic design and powertrains as the 2003-2008 models. It seats two and has a power-folding soft top with heated glass rear window. Three trim levels are offered: Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring. All offer a 306-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and side airbags that provide head and torso protection. Leather upholstery and heated seats are standard on the Touring. A navigation system is optional on the Touring and Grand Touring.

Wow! that first shot really showsoff those rear fender flares, very Porsche 911 looking. That first shot almost kinda looks like a modern day 240, i stress "almost".

Like you said Jrichter, the color and angles can make or break this car, red obviosly makes this car. Thats a great looking red!

Some 11" deep dish rims will really set that car off.
Damn that red is nice...

Not bad at all in red and looks like a little more room available in the trunk now.

It's a very goodlooking car. Short overhangs front and rear. Once again Nissan/Infiniti has managed to screw up the center vertical stack.

Yeah, I was curious myself. Looks like it's now mainly for side impact protection.

I agree, I don't think the center stacks look good at all. Not a fan of the deeply recessed screen w/ horizontal keyboard (also seen on the G37) unless it has a cover to make it flush (which it looks like the red one pictured above does but probably is not equipped with the screen) but the one pictured back on page 3 w/ the orange seats doesn't. I also don't like the long skinny vertical air vents in the center as they remind me of something in 80's GM cars - I'm more a fan of the retro-like round style like in the 8's or a lot of other current cars and round ones would flow better with all the round gauges. I would also like to see the 3 mini gauges more integrated into the dash like older Z cars instead of sticking way up like an afterthought. Just a few nit picks. The exterior is really growing on me.

After a few months of this car being out everyone will forget about the 350Z. It's better in almost every way.

Even so, I would guess that the reason they're really hyping this car is because of the current economic situation. The number of new cars sold is falling every month in the U.S. and I they likely think they need to keep excitement high to sell these in large numbers despite the popularity of the 350Z.

Your not kidding, were in ruff times people, i heard a spokes person from GM today on the news mention they may be going bankrupt. This is the second time they mentioned that "bankrupt"word. Not good at all... so bad they put a all stop on the C7 design/production, the C7 was suppose to come out 2012/2013. Not any more.....

But back on topic... I like how the Z went back to its roots with the short back end and the long nose with the short overhangs. I have a feeling this car may win me over , but not enough to make me go out and buy one, not just yet......
still waiting on Mazda's RX-9. Praying they make it as beautiful as the FD if not better!

I still don't like it...

I'm sorry but the rear DOES NOT look like a Porsche, especially a 911....

If you look at the rear very well, it actually looks like those aftermarket (ricey) lego pieces they put on HonDUHs....especially that square-looking hole in the middle...

The large rear fender flares are what remind me of a Porsche.

I don't even know what you're talking about when you say aftermarket lego parts, but the square hole in the lower bumper is where the european rear foglight goes. I guess the one on the RX8 is okay because it's rotary shaped...

^Maybee the fenders...but that's about it..THANK GOD!!!

That would have only been a disgrace to the Porsche family...

Now about our Rotary shape....At least it blends in nicely with the car!! We just don't have a gaping hole!!!
