Not everyone will like every single detail of the car they have. Nissan is not going to go and change the handles or the lights or whatever because a small group of people don't like them. It would be stupid to not get a car that you like overall just because you think the door handles are outdated.
Whenever you buy a new car you run the risk of missing out if it is significantly updated the next model year. If you keep waiting for the perfect version to come out, then you could be waiting for a while. If it is that big of an issue, then you should be ready to cough up the extra money to always have the latest version. It's a lot like the people who go out and spend hundreds of dollars to get the new iPhone every year. You could do that or wait till the end of your lease when a better one will probably be available. |

370 outdated? I think this car looks awesome and better than the majority of cars on the road today. I have seen less than ten 370s on the road since the car came out no lie.

I converted a 350Z fan into a 370Z fan yesterday. He told me he had always like the 350Z better until he actually saw my 370Z in person yesterday. I'm guessing a lot of people still haven't seen it yet or don't even know what it is when they do see it. It's far from outdated.

![]() ![]() ![]() ON TOPIC: 1. Don't know why you'd get so worked up over a door handle. Don't like 'em? Shave 'em. Done. For most of us, they're just fine. (Hell, if they stick out like a sore thumb to you, color match them, and voila! It's like camouflage. Vinyl wrap if you want to ever return to stock) 2. Fangs are iconic to the 370Z now, whether we like them or not. You're the first person I've heard who actually wants Nissan to openly get rid of them. Then again, I don't really wander around looking for things about the fangs anymore...my body kit got rid of them. Meh? Again, don't like them? Wrap the thing in black vinyl, and it almost disappears. It'll still be OEM when you rip the vinyl off. As others mentioned, you can also get a kit, and keep your front bumper if you want to sell as OEM again later on. I dunno what your intentions are, so that's just a few options for ya. 3. It's loud in the cabin, but I bought the car expected it to be loud. It's the same old flame war we get, why would you want to sound proof an out-and-out sports car? Just adds unnecessary weight, and most of us like it, or have become accustomed to the road noises, etc. Especially with test pipes or aftermarket exhausts, underneath the car is WHOOOOOOOO*pshhhhhh* ![]() Still, Bluetooth works, I can hear my music playing...good enough! 4. What's so overbearing around the lights? It's not like the Maxima or anything that looks like a sideways U. I rather thing the headlights and taillights look rather sharp on the Z. Breaks the lines quite well, imo. I just painted mine so it fit in the overall motif of the car, but on most cars I'd suggest leaving it alone. 5. You can't be serious about wanting a hybrid Z already. It's not going to happen for a while. Even if it does, it's not going to be a sports car anymore, I don't think Nissan has invested in the tech to pump out anything close to...say, Porsche's electric sports car. In the worst scenario, it'd be a Nissan Z in name, but like the Honda CRZ in execution; overweight, bloated, piece of junk that's 'supposed to be a sports car', but in practice isn't. tl;dr version - By your line of thinking, you'll never buy a car again. You'll keep thinking "...but they MIGHT do something next year to redesign!" The Z is still a new car, it won't do more than a minor change. If you like the car, get it. If not, don't. If a minor refresh DOES come around you like it, buy it then. But you can't keep second guessing something from the companies, or you'll end up with nothing. Or at least, an old Honda that lost its soul sometime when the Integra disappeared.

I didn't think it was all that bad, but looking back, I'll choose my words more carefully next time. Lesson Learned. |
