I always referred to my g35 coupe as a classier 350z.... Never thought about a g37 coupe looking classier than my 370z... but I don't think that holds true, but maybe g37 owners think so, lol.

I think the 370z has some class , sure , but in all honestly when you park it next to a nice new fully loaded 335i the BMW prob looks classier with ours looking more aggressive... When I park next to my friends 09 550i , I realize its not as "classy" as his.... but it def. doesn't look out of place next to his car or other very nice cars when I park next to them. The 370z is a sick looking car but I would say its more towards the "look at me, aggressive" side of the classiness spectrum. Dunno if that will make sense to anyone but me though lol.

it really all depends on your interpretation of the definition of " classy "

But I like to think its a classy car for its price range and genre...

Hehe agreed, sports cars can be classy.

If our car was a chick, she would be one of them, rough, femdom, smoking, drinking, sporty butch chicks from the country side... Not an elegant athlete... that's for sure...

sonic370 05-12-2010 07:08 PM

classy? maybe. aggressive,hot,sexy,cool and standing still looking like it can haul
=ss hell yeah!

BalanBro 05-12-2010 07:51 PM

It's got some class, but that's mostly because the average person thinks it's a Porsche at first. Once they see the Nissan "hamburger" it quickly gets relabeled as a slut (it's her dirty little secret).

Classy? Yes I do think the 370Z looks classy. it also looks hot, sexy, swoopy, tough and ready to pounce.

i also think classy is a term used by wankers, who try to justify their huge dollars spent on euro brands and who also try to be elitist.

Classy can be a term used by wankers to justify their huge dollars, but it doesn't change the actual definition of it and the fact that something like the z doesn't fit the definition.

The other words you use to describe it works quite well for the z...

She's a speed nympho..... a corrupting slutty wench.

Corrupting is an excellent adjective for the Z. Pushing that pedal down and swooping through S-turns... I go way too fast on a sunny day. And yet in my beater car, I'm about the most defensive driver you'd come across.

If ever I pop on a tune like "Highway Star" or "Black Sunshine", I'm almost guaranteed a traffic ticket.

Zsteve 05-13-2010 11:47 AM

Id say the Z has a long, high level history that makes it classy in its own right.

Jeffblue 05-13-2010 11:56 AM

i think the interior of the touring/nav Z is quite classy. the exterior, more aggressive and sporty.

YoungTurk 05-13-2010 01:05 PM

Webster's New Oxford American Dictionary defines classy as stylish and sophisticated.

fullmonty 05-13-2010 02:29 PM

Then my Websters definition I would say the Z is classy. I think its pretty stylish, and it does have some sophistication

Yep, same here. Since I added the sways, I'm even more invincible. Finding new limits on the winding curves. Unfortunately my tires aren't keeping up with my enthusiasm. Only 11,000 mi. and time to replace them. Aaargh.

wankers..haha

Classy IMO means luxury in good taste: hence Lexus LS, GS, Jag XF etc etc. The Z is sexy but not classy!

Well no question then, the Zed is classy.

Try and envision the z as a lady. A rediculously hot chain smoking porn star with a croaky voice from the chain and genital smoking comes to mind. As others have mentioned in this thread, we have a whore... No class... so hot, sexy, raw, fun...

You would think classy applies to luxury cars, but whenever I hear Jaguar, Bentley, Mercedes, I think of stuck up people who think money is everything and they think many people aren't good enough to be around them. And buying overpriced cars is to bring attention to themselves, rather than liking the car for what it is.

I just think of nice cars, but I mean if all that goes through your head every time you see one then power to you.

This just seems like extreme inverted snobbery on your part to me. You seem to think people with money buy things simply to show off to others, which some do, but some people really don't give a damn. The uneducated nouveau riche simply buy whatever is universally considered flashy as that allows them to show others from a similar background to themselves that 'they made it' in simple to understand means. Some people are more comfortable, have nothing to prove and don't give a damn what other people think.

I've owned a good many nice imports and I never gave a sh!t about what others thought. I've always just gravitated to what I liked, regardless. As long as I could afford them (And by afford, I mean paying cash, not getting into any debt) I'd treat myself.

I also just gravitated towards the 370 because I liked it, despite now being the only person on the street not driving a German import any more. I have nothing to prove to neighbours or people on the street.

Is the Z classy? No, not in the traditional sense. It looks good, it's comfortable and bang for the buck.

Going with this definition here!
I came from a Fast & Furious looking Mazdaspeed3, so my new Z definitely feels classy by comparison. The lines are beautiful, it's a proper rear-wheel drive two seater sports car and the interior of my Touring model with navigation feels more like the luxury of my wife's Mercedes.
Having a "grown up" sports car was of concern to me as the Mazdspped3 always got me dirty looks as if I was up to some sort of hooliganry just cruising through my development at 10mph. In the Z, I get the right kind of stares from young and old alike.

If you want to see what the Z looks like after 40 years... Look at mine....

Classy is a relative term... I believe you can have a classier version of the same exact replica.... Dependent on the modifier, you could have 2 black 370s sitting side by side and likely one of the two will be Twice as classy as the other...

370z looks classy - on a 370 forum.
