Saw a 350Z on a UK road today!
While driving to work this morning at 8.45 am I was overtaken by a British Registered 350Z (Reg: NA52 K??). It was silver. I managed to ask the driver at the lights about the car. It turned out to be an import. I think it is owned by the local Sunderland Nissan dealer. Why am I telling you this? Well, I've not seen a 350Z in UK traffic before. I must say this one looked very nice. Don't let anyone kid you the 350Z is a real looker (well in Silver anyway) - we are going to have competition in the looks department as well :-(

Not worried.
All down to taste , but for me the 350Z| is one ugly car.
Could have been really good , but the headlights and taillights are just SO wrong it hurts....
Ugly, ugly, ugly.... A shame , because it was so nearly there.

I must admit I personally like the look of the 350Z. Like the RX-8 I think it looks great from some angles, and not so great in others.
My favourite profile of the 350Z is side on, which is one of my least favourite of the RX-8. Nose on I think it looks awful, and the RX-8 looks awesome though.
Still don't wanna swap though

Unbelievable! I seen a white 350z in Lancashire on Saturday afternoon. I liked it too although every magazine article I've read it doesn't look as good in.
Another one of them, looks better in the flesh things like the RX-8.

That's exactly it. The thing had presence and attracted attention.

If I'm honest, the 350Z is sexier looking than the RX-8 for your average Joe Bloggs ....
But .....
For me it misses the point ... It's your normal everyday 2003 sort of sexy ... The RX8 dares to be different with those bulbous wheel arches and funky back doors ....
The only thing I'd change about the RX-8 is it's average Ford-like rear end

The only part of the RX8 that looks ok is the front view, the rear looks like a Ford Puma gone wrong. Thank goodness its cheaper than the 350Z, I may still swap my order as I dont need a back seat.
