Nice ride.

not too bad.....not as ugly as the earlier car. the back end is horrible....should have kept the french design team away. the car's handling characteristics aren't capable enough for the car's power.....should have looked more like the original Z car or the old jag.

at least its not as ugly as the g35.....cross of a buick/caddie/audi.....all butt ugly cars.

put the g35 rear on the 350z and it would help!

For the price, there is no comparison, I think it is not bad, looks more like German car.

I think the price is right, if and when I win my lottery, I shall buy this.

Fantastic design, super looks, I can't believe it's japanese. Japanese designs have come a long way form rust buckets to the top selling with delecious designs.

If there is a lesson to be learned, it is from Japanese manufecturers who against all odds control world car market and produce car in such a variety that is unmatched by any other country.

japans car Manufecturer spans only maybe 50 years as compare to some who is been doing this for a century.

An impressive record and difficult to match, but than in this world record are broken time and again.

Let us see who would be next to achieve this goal

I agree completely. After reviewing twenty something cars this year, I can say that the 1995 Honda Accord my mother drives, that has 280,000 kilometres on it, has build and ride quality equal to or even in some cases better than brand new vehicles, and its 11 years old.

I personally drive a nissan with 275,000 ish kilometres on it and it's getting old but still runs like a champ. Its a recurring story.

They know what they're doing. (the Japanese)

and its a shame the Americans are only now catching on when its maybe too late.

Maybe for Nissan & Infiniti but the design at Toyota and Honda (except the New Civic) is boooriiing and too much conservative. Nissan is great in their design and are very aggressive...but reliability is one step down from Honda and Toyota.

On the amercain side, Chrysler win a medal for that.

Big Black , the Japanese designs may be boring for u and me, but the sales are that speak about the preferance of a car design and performance.

So the proof is in the pudding.

If you don't mind me saying that.

The explaination is easy. In USA and Canada, the majority of the population is around 50 and + years old. And these people are mostly conservative so that's why the design of these top selling cars are quite boring. Camry, Accord, Impala, Corolla, etc.... Keep in mind is just a trend and things will be probably different in 20 years.

In 20 years cars might fly, and therefore may have wings, spoilers, exterior mounted engines, retractable wheels and fly by stick controls.

Or the roads might have sensors to guide the cars as programmed at the atart of the journey from point "A" to point "B".

Engines be might ceramic, and therefore need no cooling systems, but than agains Jet engines might be perfacted so that those might be used in cars.

Many car companies are working on Electric car and may be that is the future of cars.

I peronaly like to see cars run on Hydrogen so that the feul would not only be inexpensive, it would also repair our environment. I wish all car companies work tirelessly on Hydrogen fuel research.

I saw a video about this, take a look and tell me what you think about it.
