Default 350Z and G35C

Don't flame just IMO...

350Z and G35C...three words sums it up: not all that.

Saw both cars today in person. 350Z in black and G35C in silver. Beautiful exterior (styling should last for a couple of years) but interior is not that unique (you get what you pay for).

They can never be compared to the S2000 - its like comparing apples and oranges even if the 350Z convertible comes out. S2000 is a TRUE open top sports car. But most importantly, the S is a limited production sports car. In a few years, 350Z and G35C will be common like the Maximas , Accords, Tauruses

IMO the 350Z and G35C are more GTs.

What about the feel of the ride, instead of the history of the car?

I do like the look of the G35 coupe. When it becomes time to replace the wife's car it'll be on the short list. The Z? Can't get into the fat rear end and the headlight/bumper look...

Uh, the Coupe has a 6spd manual available, and the G35 Sedan will have a 6spd available at a later time.


I would go with the G35 Coupe hands down.

Ummm Guys, first off there are only going to be less then 7000 in the U.S. until Feb-March. Then they start shipping in the rest of the production, so by this time next year, there will be around 30,000 Total. I know the S2K is a limited production car, but the Z output is supposed to DECREASE after the first year or two as they figure hype/market saturation will occur along with more competition. Anyway, I love the Boxter, don't see them everyday, and still think they are great cars if somewhat common. It will take OVER FOUR YEARS for there to be as many Z33's as there are Boxters, no matter how many people want to buy them, and this is assuming full blast production for four years at 30,000 cars a year, which is the maxiumum N.A. output. Bottom Line, this car will not be as common as you think, and less common then the Boxter, Z3's, almost any BMW, Miata's, Vettes, etc.
