Default Saw the 350Z in person, not all that

As a native of NYC, I of course went to the car show this weekend. Nissan had on display the 350Z. I don't mean to trash the car in anyway, but it's not all that. The photos I have seen made the car look beautiful. In reality, I think you will be disappointed. The nose is too round, almost TT-like. The rear is sexy, the interior looks cheap and tacky. Also, I was not a big fan of the gold calipers.

Was this the actual production car? Also, does it seem bigger than the S2000?

I think the front of the 350Z resembles the S, just slightly. I had considered the new Z but just couldn't wait.
