Not for me alas...

Still looks bloated. The roll bars are a blatant copy of the (terrible) Z4's items - and the rake of the 370Z's windscreen has a Z4 'feel' too.

Worst thing about it is the name - three-seventy-zed (or even worse, three-seventy-zee) - it just sounds wrong; too many syllables.

if you add the numbers up in 370 you get 10.

10 in binary is 2.

number 2 means shit.


and for that reason i am out.

So, an es-el-ka-Drei-Hundert-Funfzig is out of the question then?



The 370 certainly widens the choice (even if it's no S2000 replacement) and seems more promising than its somewhat flawed predecessor.

Had a good look at one on the weekend, looks like a 350 with mental issues.

The G37 Infinity looks loads better.

and generally too chunky

Far too messy for me.

I think I prefer the looks of the 350z coupe to the 370z, accepting that the 370z is the better on the road.

But in terms of the 370z roadster, interesting to see no pictures with the roof up... the 350z roadster looked bloody awful unless the roof was down.
