Q: What car manufacturer runs a "contest" for next car design?
A: The one that has no money or imagination, NISSAN
You do realize Nissan is taking more design risks than anyone else these days, correct?

The only sports car out there that is as nice or nicer in looks than the 370 is the camaro. The only appearance weakness the Z has is in the grille. That can easily be taken care of by removing the bottom lip and adding the appropriate chin spoiler.

In the end looks are subjective.

Just got a tank of gas at the local Citgo station. I went in and modestly told the kid, "Fillin' up the red sports car out there." He glanced up and said, "Oh, the red 350?" I chuckled and said, "No, red 370." He looked up and said, "No ****!," and ran over to the window for a better look and said "Beautiful car, man. That's the first 370 I've ever seen."
I guess we all have have to do our share to educate the public.

I for one welcome the increase in gas prices... you think we have it bad @ 4 a pop? Wake up and smell the **** around you...

Perfectly developed nations pay 2-3 times what we do for gas... why? because they need to give incentives to alternate fuel / public transport - what do we do? sell hummers cheaper at the dealership than they are in a nevada strip club... what do you expect?

Honestly - I have been enjoying having the roads to myself too - my commutes are more painless and there are less idiots on the road - honestly a change I welcome and a change for which I will gladly pony up a couple of extra bucks a gallon for. I honestly think this country is lazy and ignorant enough to sit on its *** and watch as other countries adopt alternate transportation - this will make us think. Every time you spend a 100 bucks on a full tank of gas - you will really want to go get that electric car / carpool / take a bus. Think about it - there will always be balance in the world and our time of sipping on free gas is coming to an alarming halt...

not comparing the two.but Chevrolet doesn't advertise the corvette much either. the last 370 ad i saw on tv was the one about the guy having a baby

Wrong. I believe its because they TAX there gas more

I honestly think this country is lazy and ignorant enough to sit on its *** and watch as other countries adopt alternate transportation -
what alternative transportation are you talking about? Buses? metro?
Have you rode on a bus is a populated area. I rode buses for years in Brazil and believe me don't want to trade riding in your own car with a/c and music and all the comforts it offers

there will always be balance in the world and our time of sipping on free gas is coming to an alarming halt...
Free gas?? I never knew it was free. The only balance outa wack right now is that more of the world is using oil and we don't produce our own so we have to buy from other which has worked ok in the past when our dollar was worth something
