Ugly, but if it goes faster it's OK.

I love it i reckon its hot !

And the best part about it is when it comes out its going to be so cheap and all these dreamers thinking they will get 40+ for their 350z's will have to price drop them which means i can go get a good priced 350z

[Iron Chef]

I think they're sexy as, particularly on the sides.

Why would you want to? You've got a GT-R.

i know lol but they are really sexy and classy i want a new car everything new etc ill miss the power and everything from the GT-R but theres something about 350z that i love

which is exactly why the 370 will not make the 350 drop in price too much.

I bought a Feb 2007 track 350Z a few months ago for $50k, the bloke paid $72 on the road plus $5k of wheels and $3k of suspension. I reckon $50k was reasonable with only 18,000 kms on it.

I like the head and rear tail lights, it looks quite mean.

Overall its a nice car and looks very similar to the 350Z with a few slight tweaks on the body shape.

look the track ones will hold their price but i mean on car sales some people are asking 25k for a 350z with no roady.. they will drop a bit maybe then ill snap one up

[Bakes]

Looks a little weird, may grow on me though

[Amir]

will the auto (7 spd) and manual transmissions being used on the 370z also be avaiable in an updated skyline?

i like the 370z but its impractical, so an equivalent skyline would be choice.

its hot

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

just wait for the aftermarket kits... this one's gonna look good!

[Modena]

The headlights are wierd. Previous model is better, the one with the big projector lights, not the shitty small ones.

[babyskyline]

has been growing on me slowly. I like it.

its hot

my uncle has a 350z. felt awesome to sit inside it and drive it around. only bad thing about the car is that its an absolute slug moving off the line. needed balls.

all it needed was more power

i think iv found a worthy upgrade from my R33

It's hard to tell but my gut feeling (and comments from USA) tells me this will look much better than the 350Z in the flesh.

It had better because I was never a fan of the 350Z, especially it's proportions and that sad droopy rear end. Also interior is much better than 350Z which was crying out for better materials. More power (around 30 rwkw) and a bit less weight, shorter wheelbase and stiffer chassis should make it much much better car. My guess is this car is almost a whole second quicker on the 400m.

In my opinion the 350Z was 10k too much for it's performance and interior - didn't sound all that good either. And those lights on the 350Z are no better than the 370Z.

370Z needs wheels with maybe 10mm more offset on the front and 15mm more on the back and it'll be a winner. I'll take mine in that "bubble gum" blue thanks.

Also love the throttle blipping on downshifts AND that's it's switchable.

I think the 370Z will redefine "affordable" sports cars again - and not a moment too soon. I don't want to trade my $10k R33 GTST for a slower, less interior room, crappy plastics 2004 350Z for 40K. I'd rather trade a $5k R33 GTST for an as quick 2009 370Z in 4 years time.

Stock, the car sounds boring. But then, if the Infiniti G37 / V36 Skyline 370GT that the 370Z shares its platform is anything to go by, the 370Z isn't going to sound much better.

With a (noise legal) catback, the 350Z gets the note it should have had from the factory...but then that's true for almost every affordable car on the market.
