Since we're throwing around general, biased statements I'll just go ahead and add this one:

Nissan makes such fast cars. Mazda makes such slow cars.

Hmm, mine didn't turn out quite as poetic as yours. Guess I'll have to work at it.

 

saturn, you pwn as usual :D

 

i am thinking i really dislike nissan new headlights

 

I am reminded by the elephant man who is always on the run....

 

The way the headlights with the front bumper reminds me of some sad anime character with tusks. It's lighter, smaller, and more powerful so it more than makes up for that. I hope when the next RX is released that it's back to the 2800lbs category that with the 250hp they estimate, hopefully it's an accurate guess in HP and not overestimated. Maybe they should experimate with higher compressions if they haven't already.

 

either way...i cant wait for these cars to hit the streets to start seeing them in person.....thats the only real way to tell...

 

Gotta love Nissan V6 power.

If they can get the 370Z to shed a few pounds and buckle down, it will be a very potent contender for rice muscle.

 

^^^^^^

Did you have anything to say, or do you assume that these threads are full of people who didn't read the articles?

 

the thing looks like a grundle.

 

whatever #z it is, its fugly

 

s-t-r-e-t-c-h

 

An update to the interior and a power bump to 350 would certainly keep it competitive, if they can keep the price under 40k.

 

well the 330hp and gtr trany should make a fast vehicle i think...

 

new details out, leaked pics

i'll tell you what, that things gonna be fast

 

That doesn't look near as bad as the Road & Track pic. I like the rear roofline (I see more original Datsun Z) and look at how much that rear fender bulges out. Nice. From what I can tell the fangs are better represented here. I still don't know about the headlights...

 

Mazda FTW

 

Still ugly, hints of previous Z cars in the sheet metal here and there, the design is nothing new or ground breaking. Like somebody mentioned in the article,we need to go back to the Z32 style and build upon that design. A smaller, lighter ,faster and uglier 350Z , whoop-dee-doo

 

They softened the creases making it look even more bulbous and dated than it already does. What a horrible disappointment.

 

Killer specs but......

U G L Y

 

+1 saturn rocks

 

If I only needed two seats I'd already have a 350z and be looking to the 370.

Good looking, fast, reasonably priced and handles reasonably well. I also don't consider the 300lb difference between the RX8 and 350z to be a big deal, the 370 completely negates it. Good for Nissan, more competition is always welcome.

 

Not a bad look and anyone looking for a track car would be silly to ignore this. The interior of the 350z rolled out of the dealership was crap though. Wonder if they learned with the 370z? And it sounds like they're pushing up the base price to >35k. They keep that up they're going to be too expensive for the midlevel tuner/enthusiast market in the US especially with the borderline recession and gas price inflation.

Hope it gives Mazda a better idea of what they'll have to do to 1-up 'em in '11 or '12 with the next RX. It won't be hard to get a better looking ride out there but it'll be tough to get one with that nice set of numbers on paper.
