How do you think the 370Z will age???
 

The 300ZX looks like it could still be sitting on dealer lots today, from the outside at least, easily one of the most beautiful cars ever made (my opinion but well shared).

I remember the 1st time I saw a 350Z, I was just 21 back in fall 2002 and I was blown away, I felt like I had just seen an exotic but flash forward 7 years and the car just looks REALLY dated, I owned one just a few yrs ago.

to me the 370Z is what the 350Z should have been but w/o the 350Z reviving the legendary "Z" name, we wouldn't have this beautiful car.

It's tough to say but I think the 350Z will be forgotten as just a "middleman" in the Z series but I think the 370Z will go down as a true classic.

I will agree with you on the 300ZX looks amazing even today, and so far after owning the 350Z and the 370Z I can tell you, no one has forgotten about the 350Z, atleast the people that doesn't really follow up on the Z cars, I get people still asking me if that's the "2009/2010" model of the 350Z. And I actually have to explain that it's no longer a 350 but a 370. I think soon people will see the 350 as a history car such as the 300ZX because the 08 was the last generations of those. Atleast I hope it'll go down as an iconic Z33 rather than just a middleman between the Z32 and Z34.

Not sure I agree on the 300ZX, I think it's a great looking car and all, but it's time has passed. Anyway, I don't think the 370 will age any better or worse than any other car. I don't think the 350 looks dated yet, so hopefully we have a good 10 year run on the 370 before it starts to look old.

not to mention Toyota Prius Gen 3 has adapted the "barbed" headlight looks lol

I don't think "old" is the word to use, when they loose their "appeal", then there is no longer the desire. I still like the 350.

I'll be honest though, after owning the 370, the A$$ end of the 350 looks way too long, anyone else think that? I agree, the 300 looks its age, nice car, great engine, but I dont think its kept its visual appeal. The 370 will be a great looking car 10 years down the road, I just hope nobody copies the shape and styling.

i still look at the 300 when i see one i think they look amazing from the front. and yeah people who dont pay attention to the car always say whats the difference? looks the same as the 350. then i have to go through all the key points haha idk i think that all z's are beautiful to their owners and they will always be a head turner

people still don't believe me when i tell them my 300zx is a 1990. they think it's a 2005 or somthing.

with some nice nismo wheels, and the 99 updatess would do nicely.

not to mention it's still easily the fastest Z ever made once you get rid of the extremely restrictive intake and exhaust. 450whp is achieveable on the stock turbos with pump.


i do think the 370 will age well over the 350.

IMHO the last real Z was the 280z. It was the last one looking like the old Ferrari. I thought it would never age. But the 370, much like the 280, will be just another car in 4 years

better yet much like your wife, after some years...... :)

I really dont get how you think the 350 looks more outdated than the 300zx lol

Just like my car, I plan on trading in every 4 years for a new one.

If sales don't improve, 2012 could be the end of the 370Z. I.M.O.

The 300ZX is/was a beautiful car. There is a black one in the showroom of one of the local dealers, all tricked out with Stillen mods. Gorgeous!

The 350Z? Reminds me a litle of the 300ZX, especially the slope from the C-pillar to the tail.

The 370Z? An iconic design that looks like a cross between a 350Z and a 911, imho. How has the 911 aged? I expect the 370 design to be around for quite a while, and I don't think it will ever "look old".

Headlghts on the Lexus LF-A have a 370Z-ish look to them, btw. A design standard is born.

No offense, but this makes no sense. How can you state that a 280Z looks like an old Ferrari and then state that a 370Z will be "just another car in 4 years"? :icon14: A 370Z looks like a new Ferrari! :icon17:

I'll leave the issue about my wife's looks alone. Heh heh.

Just make sure the new one knows how to exploit that "shift knob vibration". That is a talent not easily duplicated. :tup:
