chenc544 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah, I notice the G-like interior too. The new Maxima also has a similar setup. 330hp w/ ~3000lbs should make it a very good performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Rumour's are floating around that the VQ37HR in the 370Z will see a power bump to around 350HP. Although, IMO I don't see that happening at the introduction. Although, 350HP engine in the Z and G37C would be a good idea for Nissan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 As I said on autoblog... Wow, this thing is ugly. Front, side, back, inside... ALL of it. Fangs on the front, stupid L-shaped lights, and ugly forward peaked windshield and ugly side windows... The interior looks too rounded and playskool. The center console is directly out of Infiniti, and looks gadget-y, but the door panels, dash, and console all looks rounded. I think they bought this interior from Pontiac, and their old grand ams and grand prix-es. (sp?) Color me unimpressed. Infiniti G37c looks so much better.

Barrok Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 My guess is the thing is going to be beautiful just like the 350z is. And fast, and I want one. But two doors and two seats doesn't work well.. hence the STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I despise the cheap interior of the Z though and it looks like this thing also has plastic "brushed aluminum" door handles. How quaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Some official pics. The wacky L-shaped headlights actually looks pretty good on the Z. The exterior proportion looks very trim and athletic IMO, very much like the old 240Z. Those rear quarter windows are going to be less than useless but I like the lines there. The interior looks much more upscale than the 350Z, although I'm not feeling the jellybean steering wheel. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/2009_nissan_370z_front.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/2009_370z_rear.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/2009_370z_interior.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Are they gonna void the warrenty if you take of VDC?, i cant seem to have any fun under 40mph with the VDC on in my friends 350z and with the car being lighter and more powerful im sure that still holds true.

panamajack Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 what are the gauges for ontop of the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Oil temp, pressure, batt volts IIRC. It kinda depends, they may change the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 lots of G37 in the sides and sweeping lines... and the rear end is very Chrysler Crossfire... or Porsche. Hopefully it is priced the same as the 350Z and becomes a real performance bargain. Think Porsche Boxter or Cayman for $20K less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I like the design quite a bit, it looks a little closer to the 240Z than the 350Z did. That kinda upset me actually was I remember hearing one of the designers mention that they were aiming to make it look like the original Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenc544 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 There are certainly a lot of the similarities between the two. The lines of the quarter window is just about the same as the 240z. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/10/29/lat370zr.jpg http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/10/29/lat370zf.jpg http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3309/130070602z1971datsun240vx5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Paint it green, and that car would look like a frog that bumps it's ass when it hops. the roofline sloping down from the a-pillar, and the window sill sloping rearward too, makes it look like it sags to the rear. The fenders have thick wheel flats, all the rage from the eastern imports lately, evidently. The front intake is bizarre, and the L-shaped lights are a gimmick, not a better design. Sorry, but I am gonna pass on that one. At least the G37 doesn't look bad. I hope the Subaru/Toyota coupe won't look as ham-fistedly designed, as the 370Z.
