Rob_Quads Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just seen the pics of the 370z I have been waiting for. Been wondering about the rear strut and what they are going to be going with it. Looks like they have moved it back a bit BUT it looks like there are two versions - one with a single strut and one with two! One Strut Two Struts Lots of other new pics from a open day at a US dealer http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-nissan-370z-early-reveal/1160856/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That second one looks like it may be some sort of boot cover that rolls out. I can't really see the point of having 2 strut braces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That second one looks like it may be some sort of boot cover that rolls out. I can't really see the point of having 2 strut braces! I agree. Like everything else on this car it looks like a messy, dog's dinner of a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nevermind that... Compact flash?! That's the cassette player format of the 00's! That said, there's an AUX IN on the other flavour of audio, so at least someone was listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 There is a pic showing the boot open and some form of cover attached to it so maybe it is a cover. It looks like there are iPod connectors in the arm-rest in the middle. Not massivly impressed by the dash/console - the design of the middle console looks very bland and boring. A 5 year old could have designed that head unit part. Really don't like the way they have styled the digital gauge. Why have a garish silver surround on it. A nice shiny black surround and it would blend in much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have to agree on the dash aswell, those long air vents each side of the cubby look really rubbish IMO. Im glad i got a 350, the new one is just a bit worse in every respect bar the engine it seems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Isnt the compact flash for a memory card or a USB devise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yup, using the very dated compact flash cards that no-one (save D-SLR owners) uses any more. SD card or USB slot would've made far more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can cover all bases even newer formats with new card readers. In device terms, all cards and USB should show up as drives to the HU (as they do with PC) so could read anything attached.

lotuscc Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 No rear suspension strut brace on the 370Z. Is the 370Z torisonally stiffer than the 350Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get adapters which turn pretty much any format you want into CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Archos will fit there very nicly! I think they have done really well with the connectivity options. Cant think of anything that wont connect up in some way. Also nice the 12v is right next to the AV inputs.... I also like the fact you can chuck in 2 head units using a combination of the centre consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
