I owned a G37S coupe before my Z and it's hard to believe they are the same car. Apologies to all G37 owners; this just my opinion - it's a Japanese Monte Carlo.

Nissan did a horrible job with the styling proportions, especially the rear quarter of the car. The G35 coupe is one of Nissan's most beautiful cars. The G37 one of it's dorkiest.

To me, the Z is so much more of an honest car - much more primitive. It's louder, has less sound deadening, no sunroof, etc. It's a sports car.

It will be interesting to see what the Q60 really looks like. The different sketches floating around show a much more aggressive car than the G37S. Let's see what the final car ends-up like.

That G35 will be a classic calendar car. The G37...... not sure.

I always find any 2+2 to long, there's no need for the back IMO

from the looks of it so far, i dont think im going to like the Q60 either...

Looking good BC! Will be editing the photos from the zoo. Not many opportunities were present though with just a cell phone. We stopped at a historical cemetery in our neighborhood on the way back. Got some decent shots I think. Most people buried there lived during the mid to late 1800s.

Ms.BC, love the pictures, but... The elevens are in the wrong direction, unless you were doing 200mph-0mph tests. In that case

GaleForce · 03-10-2013, 07:09 PM

I found out why Mr.kenchan likes Honda Fits.

Washed her today with my new fire hose nozzle. Let me tell you what: water conservation was the LAST thing on the designer's minds!

That nozzle is a-ma-zing! Best nozzle eva!

You're lucky it didn't remove the paint.
