He wrote and edited his own article? That seems... unlikely! :)

Are you claiming that the 370Z's mileage ratings are 15 city/20 highway? That doesn't seem to be the case:

2009 Nissan 370Z specs, auto safety at Edmunds

Edmunds says 18/26. Quite a difference.

I think that's the score 15/20 NOT gas mileage.

Oy, you're absolutely right.

Hmmm... yeah... that *is* a pretty crappy score! :)

I just wish they would be less frivolous and self-serving - it could be an excellent show if it was just a bit more serious. In the VERY old days Top Gear was a BRILLIANT motoring show, then about 20 years ago it began to go up its own arse too much.

My wife loves watching it.

Read it in my head as if Jeremy Clarkson was reading it out loud for me too, haha!

This is how its gonna break down on Top Gear tv show, i can already feel it.

Hamster is gonna love it straight from the start becuase he loved the 350z.
Jeremy is gonna talk mad **** about it, get in it and start to say he still hates it, but some where near the end he may fall in love with it and change his tune after he puts it through the track.

Then captain slow, i dont know hes hard to predict, he may hate it due to the bodys alot more flashy.

Good Good!

As many members said, I was reading this with Jeremy voice in my head.

And yes!!! now we need lap times

Don't hold your breath if you're waiting to see the 370Z on Top Gear - I just finished watching the final programme of the current series ...and the next series doesn't start until Autumn (Fall) 2009. So, hopefully the Z will feature at some point from September onwards. :shakes head:



Edit - ignore this false information - I didn't realise I was watching a repeat from series 11 - ooops!

^Supposedly Filming will begin in June. I hate waiting. They will also have a HUGE budget cut. Some how though Fat head is still making Millions a season for hosting.

In regards to the review though, nice find AK.

Ah - maybe I was watching a repeat and didn't realise it! So ignore my earlier post - they were probably referring to LAST autumn! Ooops.

So maybe we'll get a 370z review to coincide with the first UK deliveries in July?

Nice article. So i was wondering if anyone else were having the same "vibration problems when shifting gears really hard. And above 5k rpm does it get really rough and transmits nasty vibes back to the transmission". I para phrased what the guy said in the article. Just wondering if this issue has been fixed. Or has anyone drove this car this hard yet.
