I saw one up close I think they are trying a little too hard and it looks a bit ricey the wheels are stamped by rays which I respect, but the design IMO isn't that cool I perfer the 350 or G35 over the 370 or G37

I drove a 370Z before. I really liked it. Had a really good feel to it. Had a nice road presence, and it was nice feeling some good power. The rev-match was weird, i kept going to manually blip the throttle, and right as i moved my foot over to the gas, the computer kicked in. Pretty cool, but takes some fun out of driving. I would love to buy a 370Z, but they are still too expensive for me. Overall I the interior is really nice, and the car feels special, much like the S2000. It does not feel like everything else on the road.

The Idea of buying a car in the $40 grand or more range to me, means NOT buying a F**king NISSAN!!!! The GT-R is obviously superior car in their line-up but not the 370. The blind spots are horrible in that very heavy beast. I checked the door and it said 4100 lbs. Way too heavy. IMO there are much nicer cars for $40. And I'm also a little bias because, for some reason, I've only seen douche bags drive the 370 or the 350. Oh, and why would you come back out with a car that used to have twin turbos and make the car uglier and slower, not the best choice. I preach that about car companies all the time. Don't ruin what used to be a great car by coming back out with a crappier version then calling it "The New..."
The Infiniti G35 is nice, I used to have one. Same engine but way better interior. They put a lot of thought in the G but the Z's just seem slapped together. Obviously, I'm not a fan!

I've driven a 370z (and raced one for those of you that know 
) Honestly, I did not like it much at all. The concept of it on paper is amazing. A japanese ''muscle'' car of sort. But driving one (compared to the s2k or e46 m3) is not a joyable experience.
I'll post up the review in a bit.

Actually the 370z is about 3,400lbs, the 4,100 is probably a max weight, or gross capable weight. It is also faster than any previous Z. That being said, it is still very big and heavy compared to the S. I did want one, and still do, but yea, its way too expensive for what it is, plus I have read about a lot of owners just getting bored with it. There were a couple people that went s2000, to 370z, then back to s2000. We are all ruined by the S2000, there is not much else out there that is quite as raw and fun, yet still semi practical. Atleast nothing close to the same price range of the S.
