magazines have been speculating 330 for a long time, 330 from a 3.7 liter is very easy to achieve, well see when NYC autoshow comes. im sure they are all about besting the bmw 335.

How much will it weigh? Also, it's interesting that they're doing more to differentiate the G coupe from the 350z.

I guess the next 350Z will be called the 370Z? Doesn't quite have the same ring.

Most likely the same engine as the GT-R sans the turbos. GT-R is rumored to have twin turbo 3.7l.

I would be surprised if it weighed less than 3500lbs.

Probably the same thing the 240z and 300z drivers thought about its successor.

240Z - 4 syllables
300Z - 4 syllables
350Z - 4 syllables
370Z - 5 syllables

Damn inflation is what that is.

anything but 370Z sounds "good" .... 360Z, 380Z, 400Z all good all 4 syllables.

If I can't afford a Skyline by the time it comes out a G37 coupe would be my next target. This is assuming I dont dump $10,000 into my RX8 for a Mazsport kit. heh

I think 370Z has too many syllables as well but gotta keep up tradition.

This is one of the things keeping me from buying the 8 right now, I really am ready for April so I can get my new car. Also I am very intrigued about the Infiniti EX "crossover coupe", well we shall see in a month.

That info came off Fresh Alloy forum, famous for the complete bullshit and stupidity that comes from its posters, so I would not put too much faith into what is said there.

The G35/G37 is the Skyline. The GT-R has been split from the Skyline line into a separate model completely. I know it's nitpicky, but even automotive magazines and news websites are making the mistake and it bugs me because the "new Skyline" has been here since 2003.

It's like the Supra, which at one point was just the top end model of the Celica, but then was split off into its own model. Walk up to a MKIV owner and say, "hey, nice Celica." and see what happens!

Thank god I'm not the only person who is bugged by this, I swear all these people who think they know cars really have no clue.
