Canadian models have rear foglights!

I wish the stateside ones had this.

i will most likely add this to mine when they release the the parts in the states.

AB370Z

Here's some pics from my visit at the dealership today. So the issue of Canadian fog light seems to be settled now...



I test drove the black one which is a Canadian touring with Nav, no Sport, and a MT. The sales manager believed they might be one of the very first Cdn dealers with 370Zs on their lot and it had arrived earlier than expected - they were expecting around mid-March.

Impressions:

The only caveat is that it has been a couple years since I last drove a 350Z so I can't give the 370Z as accurate of a comparison to the 350Z as some others might. First impression is that it does look amazing in person and I do love it. You can notice the slight decrease in size compared to the 350Z. I do like the lines on the roof. The headlights and tail lights do look great IMO. These two only had base touring rims, although while they didn't look bad, I would certainly go for the sport package.

The interior is definitely a step up in quality. That fuel gauge thing isn't that bad and the readout through the lights doesn't seem to be that big of an issue, but I didn't have glaring light to deal with. The interior does feel a little smaller than the 350Z as I remember; I'm 6 ft, 220 lbs and I do fit fine. The seats are certainly form fitting and comfortable. For some reason I thought I heard they weren't power seats, but they do have the same power controls as before and the manual lumber adjustments. I didn't play around with the NAV but it looked pretty neat. The windshield seems quite different and is almost a little on the small side so takes some getting used to. Same for the back window. Great visibility, much like the 350, is not its strong suit, but if you want that, don't buy a small 2 seater sports coupe I guess.

As for driving, you do notice the big jump in power (of course I'm comparing to a 287 bhp 2003 350Z) right away, although I didn't really drive it that hard...we still have sand and pee gravel and the odd ice patch on our winter roads so the salesman wouldn't have appreciated me spinning rocks everywhere! It feels more tight and nimble than the 350 and the steering feels even more precise. Shifting seemed very similar but the pedal positions felt a little different.

About the only real complaint on driving I had, which many have brought up before, is that the rear road noise does seem a bit excessive.


The dealer said getting a fully loaded one is not easy in Canada as very few orders of them have been allocated yet. Of course the salesman said I should act fast if I want to sign up on a loaded one that has already been pre-ordered by the dealer - they could change the color at this point to my liking. I am a little on the fence between white and blue...I owned the bright silver before so want something different. It would arrive here in the May/June timeframe if I go for that one. I didn't bother with haggling on price yet. To decide soon...

Good info, thanks for posting. Did you happen to notice/check if your test car had heated side mirrors?
