Hey all,
I thought I would just share some thoughts on the new 370Z
Exterior looks amazing I think. Great lines on the body and the flared wheels wells give it a really aggressive look
Unfortunatly that feel doesn't transfer to the inside. I found the interior quite lacking with the cloth/ leather seats. I know that "true" sports cars opt for the cloth seat as the hold the drive and limits sliding around... but at least get some better stuff!!
The guage pods sitting on the dash don't do it for me, and that cubby in the middle of the console looks out of place (if you don't have the navi).
No sun roof.. but the topless version should be out later this year.
The drive it self was very smooth. 332hp (and about 1000lbs lighter than my G) accelartes nicely thought a broad usable powerband. You still can feel a solid pull even on the high way in 5th gear.
My other gripe would be that visibility is a little restricted when shoulder checking, but that just may be me.
I didn't get a chance to see how that rev matching down shift works ( it is an option on the sports model).
Over all a very capable sports car starting at 39K list. Sports pkg is 3K more.
