Meh...nothing too inspiring. I have the same feelings about the 370Z as I did with the G37 Coupe.
I can't wait to hear the specs on this car though.
ps. The Z forums seem to hate the design

As a former Z owner myself ('03 350Z) I can honestly say that I love this new design. It's not as simple/clean as the 350Z, but it's very aggressive, and it stays very true to Z heritage (it's showing a lot more 240Z design cues now).
370Z = WINNAR!

It will be dropping 200+ lbs. vs. the 350Z. With the 330bhp VQ37 it should be capable of sub-5.0s 0-60.
Cost too much?
Compared to what? A Boxster S at twice the price?
Just going by what happened to the G's

Doesn't mean they WILL get 200# off of it.

In fact, Nissan plans to take on Porsche, the most classic of all sportscar manufacturers, with its newest coupe. Equipped with a larger 335-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine and having gone on a serious diet, possibly shedding as much as 200 lbs, the new Z will definitely have the cojones to keep up with its foes, including the Cayman, and its shorter wheelbase and wider track should conspire to make it quite the handler as well. We'll get our first official look at the new son-of-Godzilla at the LA Auto Show, shorty after which the Nissan 370Z should show up in Japanese dealerships with U.S. delivery at a later date. Hopefully, not too much later.

Anyone else notice how they've been blurred in the photo? I can only assume it's to give the illusion of motion.
