I dont know what to say. It doesnt look good but Im sure it will be a blast to drive...Im all about function over form might give it a try. Cheap+LSD+less weight might be my 135 replacement and cheaper m3 alternative.

Being smaller and lighter with 330 hp it should be really nice. I wonder how the manual feels, I have heard the Infiniti G37S manual sucks. But now the Infiniti G37 coupe is available with AWD and a 7 speed auto. I wonder about the 370Z ???

2008 135i  [6.50]
Meh. To retro for me. Reminds me of a cross between a 240Z and a Porsche 924. I guess even the Japanese companies got the urge to revisit the past. Got to keep up with those American muscle cars.

I gave it a fair chance and took my time to decide, but there is just no escaping that it is ugly! Nissan messed it up.

I first thought that the 370Z looked like an overweight Porsche, but after seeing it from different angles, I think it doesn't look bad at all. But needs more power! *cough* V8 *cough* http://jalopnik.com/5089010/2009-nis...ecret-la-event

I like the styling of the back as it reminds me of the classic Z cars but not so much the front.

I think it is good looking and will be a great performer. I wouldn't mind owning one with a fat turbo strapped on and other mods.
