New Nissan Z!

[trekkerguy]

Holy shit! I am not normaly a fan of foreign cars, but wow.
They've been playing the ad for this all throughout the Sugar Bowl
tonight and I love it.

I want a [highlight]red[/highlight] one.

 

[trekkerguy]

I'd get white. Never liked white on cars till I owned my first car and it was
white, ever since every car seems to look best in white.
Though my current car ended up dark blue...

That is a handsome Nissan, though a bit more Mistubishi Eclipse-like than I'd have expected.

I like sports cars in battleship gray, myself; is that eccentric?

 

[JonathonWally]

Good looking car. Black all the way, All my cars have always been black, I like black cars.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

I love the front end. Very predatory and snakelike.

I'll take a red one as well, please.

 

[Holdfast]

I'm going to dissent and say I don't much like the styling. Looks like 911 that's been squished up in photoshop or something. Can't argue with the power though, that thing must pull massively through the gears. Probably a sub 5s 0-60 too.

I have a red 2006 350Z. I love it!! I thought it would be easy to not want a new one for quite some time. But now I see the new 370Z and dang it's going to be hard to not buy one!

My 350Z has been a blast to drive and not single problem with it. They're great cars.

Agree.

Looks like a Japanese 911

However, I think the performance will be good.

I prefer the 350's styling to this one. I looked at the 350 last time I was changing cars a few years back - yep, lots of fun.

Totally.

It's very nice... Here's hoping they'll make a convertible version. That would look pretty spiffy!

Cheers,

Thank you! I was trying to find words to describe why I don't like this design much, and this captures my opinion perfectly.

Bring back the 300Z design with some modern updates and I'd be all over it.

EDIT: After reading the rest of the thread, now I can't get the fact that the photo in the OP's original link DOES look like a 911 photoshop.

I'm delighted to have polluted your thinking. Now we must join forces to spread this meme throughout the interweb.

Now I want to see what the next Infiniti G coupe looks like.

Pretty much my feelings. Would never buy it though, I don't car what bang for your buck I'd get. Not quite my type of styling, also I have a dreadful feeling I'd not be able to fit in it

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Ditto.

Unfortunately in my area white cars can get you killed. We have a LOT of snow and I live on a hill with a hidden driveway.

It's nothing more than an Infinity G35 that has some sheet metal changes.

Oh my GOD, you're so clever, cause Nissan is the first car company to ever EVER multi-task a platform line!!!

G series hasn't been updated yet, btw, hence my comment above, the Z gets done first, then the G gets changed after, either '09 1/2 or '10

I mean, if you really want to get down to brass tacks, both the G series and the Z car are alterations from the non-US imported Skyline platform modified.

Next, you'll inform us of something truly shocking, like claiming the Camaro and Firebird were twins the ENTIRE 30 years they built!!

Nice but I'll still have a GT-R please and thank you
