The looks of this have grown on me since I saw one in the flesh and this road test seems to be quite positive about the new car too.

A realistic car for me that I can aspire to buy in 5 years time

being a Z car fan I wasn't overly impressed by the 350z but this looks to deliver. The styling is much more aggresive and suited to a car like this. I'll start saving

that synchroRev stuff sounds pretty cool.

proper photographs do the looks the world of good, actually looks great in those photos.

Wow, looks like a good buy then. I must admit, it looks great in red with almost vampire like front end to it and a V6 growl. Give it a few years and I will want one no doubt

Looks like a 350z that has had a breakdown, been through rehab, killed some pirates, now ready to go on the hunt for some hawt pussy.

Really like it

Sexy looking car that, wish i could afford one

jongeeone · 25 Jan 2009 at 22:59

Looks great too me

I must admit, the 350z with the Nismo kit on did look fantastic aswell.

I'm relieved I still like the look of the 350 after reading that!

The interior though looks tasty, i'm interested to try that mechanism on the satnav compartment where it looks like stitched leather, to see if it fits/moves/looks/tastes nice.

like it better than the 350

Clarkey · 26 Jan 2009 at 12:04

Sound good to drive but it's still ugly, looks like the French have had a go at styling the front and failed miserably like they do with everything else. Nismo 350 kills it on looks.

Dreadi · 26 Jan 2009 at 13:19

350z with a fat arse ?

spaz · 26 Jan 2009 at 13:38

I think it's a fantastic looking car and glad to hear (or rather read) that it's also a good evolution on the 350Z.

Would definitely like the chance to drive one in the future!

Crizzy · 26 Jan 2009 at 13:44

I still like it - it's still no 240Z beater though, but then not a lot is!

Schnippzle · 26 Jan 2009 at 13:52

Does it still use a French engine?

No and it never did and the 350z didnt either

Hxc · 26 Jan 2009 at 15:38

Lights still look idiotic.

Booner! · 26 Jan 2009 at 15:39

Bear is correct, it was a part french engine...but Clarkson dumbed it down as a french engine for the slating he gave it on top gear (which was later retracted and the 350z was commended as car of the year!)

mrk · 26 Jan 2009 at 15:56

That looks like, like the birthchild of a 911 and GTR

It wasnt even part French. The VQ series of engines have been made by Nissan since the 1990s. Its been used in a few Renault cars like the Vel Satis which was why Clarkson took the mick saying it was French.
