370Z 2009.5 Changes?

KManZ · 02-15-2009, 11:59 AM

Well, I have seen the 370 a few times in person now and can say I officially approve

VERY well put together vehicle inside and out, regardless of the few questionable cosmetic features; those I could grow to love. Even on my '07 350, there are a few things that I grudgingly have come to accept.

As for changes to the 370, I can see one thing being added: heated side mirrors. Big deal, but plausible. The interior fuel gauge is a nice idea, but the aluminum trim doesn't fit with the rest of the gauges. Another feature: the shift knob is all black; what happened to the aluminum insert like on the 350? What do you guys think? I feel like the shift knob is a bit plain without it.

Lastly, if Nissan drops Monterrey Blue and gives us Daytona Blue, I will buy a 370 in a heartbeat.

good obeservation, the all black knob does looks a little cheaper in my opinion. it was one of the first things i noticed. i would have expected the shift gate indicator to be brushed aluminum or something with some trim around the bottom that meets the boot

a quick fix is just get the G37 knob
