+1.
I love the over all shape, but the headlights and tallights both need to go.
I also love the idea of less weight and more power. 330HP out of a large V6 in about 3100-3200 lbs.

Damn!

A long way from the 240Z of course and yet they seem to have come back a little bit to the original styling, which is a good thing.

The whole car looks like it's trying too hard to be unique by taking design cues from several different manufacturers. Like a DNA hybrid experiment gone wrong.

Someone else here said it right. The lines don't flow in this car anymore. In some ways it's masculine looking (like those wheel arches), but in other ways, it's feminine looking, like the A pillar and the rear boot.

This new 370z looks like a transvestite off of Church/Wellesley. You look at it, and you question, is it a man or a woman? and you don't know even after several long looks.

i have always been a huge fan of the 240z through tot he 300ZX, but the 350 and now this one miss the boat, still cant figure out why they have those bulky ugly door handles.... to me the mid 90's 300ZX is much nicer... i agree about the crossfire backend as well

Jrichter, you are the man!

Looks a 1k times better, sort-of , kind-of reminds me of a 90's Porsche, the way the profile of the car is, but that is a good thing!

the LA AutoShow starts on November 21st, these are just pics that were released by a few sites today.

This is a huge repost with an inaccurate title.

I don't know, I kind of liked the 350Z and especially the 350 roadster. This though, gulping fish inspiration or something up front?

That car is ugly! I thought the 350Z is okay for looks, that looks awful. I like the R3 wannabe wheels though
