Just saw the new 370Z
I just saw a article on the new 370Z I think it was in R&T. Better looking then the old car but the Head lights and tail light look like **** same bad arrow design as the Maxima. It is still using the over sized plastic door handles (fugly). What I still find amazing is the car is still close to 3,200 lbs, they were saying that the car would be lighter so I was expecting maybe 3,000 lbs like the RX. Either Mazda can really engineer a car to get a 4 seater to 3000 lbs or Nissan can't engineer jack making a brand new 2 seater at 3,200 lbs. I look forward to reading the whole article.

i like the extierior except for the rear is gross, but the performance numbers are crazy. Its not only straight line fast but it can pull .97Gs. That may be enough to make me a fan

I think I like the 370 a bit more than the 350, only now it looks quite a bit like the porsche 911 as far as general body shape goes, and I'm talking about the older and uglier 911s. It just doesn't look poised or like it's going somewhere, it also looks too fat too, they've managed to overdo the flared wheel arches this time.

i'd have an open mind or else you'd be doubly disappointed if you faced off at the track against one. RX8 fanboiism is something i never got even when i had my 8. I know the limitations of my car and i have an idea of the potential of other cars...i know when theres a better one out there in a category, im not afraid to say it. lol
