Nissan 370Z pictures

Pending the head lights and tail lights I kind of like what I see. Looks smaller, lighter, more true to the original...

Looking better. Stil has a fat *** but the shortening of the length helps it a little. Still curious to see how much weight they really reduced - assuming they stuck with their promise. Should definitely be a good track car with that much power.

If they give it an adjustable suspension this time around.

I really like it, the fender flares are alot larger. If the weight is down, the hp is up, and the price is right I would greatly consider one.

smaller version of the GT-R. It's an ok car, but there's more to it then just straight line speed, that's why are cars are praised for their driving characteristics.

Eh, looks too much like the 350 for me, and I don't like the look of the 350.

the lines are improved a lot, the roofline went from fat audi tt (1st gen) to a race back. i think it looks good.

i wish the japanese would get back to the low stance of the 240 and the rx7.

put an rx8 next to the rx7 and it looks fat and oversized.

If you think the RX-8 is large compared to an RX-7, you should see the GTR. Holy crap that's a big car! Saw one next to a 3rd gen at Sevenstock and the RX-7 looked like a go cart.

Agreed. What's with Nissan/Infiniti? They're totally stuck with the "don't mess with success" concept. 370z=350z, g37=g35. Are they too scared to come up with anything new?

^ Lol, the 7 would fit inside the R35. No doubt the R35 is great and handles its mass well but I've always prefered small cars for some reason.
