I sort of like the auto-rev matching thing. Yeah, the hardcore guys will condemn it but it's clever thinking. Plus, it is stupidly fast.

wow, it's about time.... cause Nissan must be on crack to continually price the 350Z at $49,995 CAD year after year... and then price the Infiniti G35 coupe at $47,999

What the **** eh? It was like that 2 years ago when I was car shopping.

I didn't see it on car and driver... but.. is that the base model or a top o the line? I think you get the R3 for like 40k sooo.... yeah..

I dunno... I liked the 350.. with it's gops of... uhh... what do they call it... it's been so long since I last seen it... uhhh.... right. torque. But other then that... BpTH! 2 seater.. no trunk (for all intensive purposes)... the ride is too squishy if you don't get the track model.. and if you do get the track model it'll break your spine.

It's the automotive equivalent to a chick that's a butterface. Yeah I'd hit it hard day and day out, but once I was done I'd cry silently into my pillow asking myself... why is my life like this?

I mean, what's the point of having a giant smile on your face when you're in it when once you're out you just want to cover your eyes?

Good price, but interior AND exterior designs are quite a mess. I admit it does look good in a few angles...but mostly nasty. Those rims are nasty too. Just so many things wrong with it. 350Z looks far better.

Its no uglier than the R3 (actually I'd have to say 370z > R3 in looks) But when you compare everything else such as performance, gas millage.. pretty much EVERYTHING minus passenger occupancy, the R3 gets sh*tted on.. Its not even close. At all.

There is no denying the level of spankage Nissan dealt to Mazda. But I'm glad they did, maybe Mazda will step up this time and do more than an unwanted face lift.. We didn't want an ugly new front bumper we wanted more fkin power out of this gas guzzling rev happy, oil eating, understeering ****.

I love my 8 though..

I experience no understeer! The rest is accurate.

I'll probably consider the 370Z when my lease on the 8 is up two years... along with whatever other cars that are on the market at that time.

Emmm... you have to remember.. while the 350 and the rx-8 are in the same class... the 8 isn't pure sports car (2 seater a la rx-7)... it's a different type of car... they went out of their way to make the car more usable and practical.

If Mazda ever did decide to bring back the 7 you could garantee it would -SPANK- Nissan. Mind you... I'm pretty sure Mazda learned their lesson after the 3rd gen and a tanking economy.. I highly doubt a 7 would be popping out of Mazda any time soon.

I am considering the 370Z or G37 as my next car (in many years still). I love the look of the G37 and don't mind the look of the 370Z.

And that engine with 330HP is sweet.
