Chris`I Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Just back from this, heres the usual gratuitus photos. Got to sit in the 370z and have a play. First impressions are much the same as everyone else whos seen it. It looks much better in real life. The lights, the lumps, the bumps, the curves, all make sense. The only think I think that lets it down is the front leading edge of the bumper is sooo high! Interior is much nicer than the 350z, but I wouldnt say its in the same league as Audi or Porsche. Think where Audi were a couple of years ago, and thats where the Nissan is now. Big leap on the quality of the plastics and the "bash test" revealed no thin plasic or cheap fitting. Was very solid for a Nissan. This was only a base model so not the nicer seats or door cards but was impressed. Only letdown in the interior is that although they have removed the rear strut, now the boot area is very open. As we have seen in the 350z, it can be quite noisy unless you fit a toneou (sp?) cover. In the 370z you dont get this option so could be noisier. Anyway, heres the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Just looking at the pics, the 370 looks much better in those pics than others posted on here before. Still love it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its been said many times before but you really have to see it in person. Pictures just dont do it justice. I found it quite hard to photograph, but think I found some more interesting angles than other photos I've seen. It does work and gel a lot better in the flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 cracking pictures CHris Did you notice how huge the wing mirrors are on the 370z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Did you notice how huge the wing mirrors are on the 370z. Didnt immediately jump out at me, but then I didnt really look at them too much. I was more bothered about having a poke around inside and see what it was like in there compared to the 350z. They do look huge in the pics though!
