No HP bump, no new headlights and bumper?

interesting, however none of these seem like changes?

am i missing something

"There are no major specification or equipment changes for the 2012 model year."

Copy, no changes.

Good News to me then. my car still looks like it can be a '12

I didn't realize the yellow wheels were an option for the '12 :bowrofl:

I think due to the earthquake that happened in Japan, any changes that may have been coming for the 2012 370Z will be delayed till 2013 or even as far as 2014.

That's ok, we still have an awesome car. Those folks need to rebuild their lives.

i am a happy camper

That can work both ways! The 2012 looks like a 2009! That will not help sales increase!

Good to hear!!! We still go the most up to date Z.

That's what I figured too. I bet we'll see some noticable changes for '13.

if they end up pushing the chages to 2013 or even 2014 shouldnt they just forget the changes and just focus more on the next gen Z fo 2015? (if it were to release that year)

:icon17:

Can't believe at least not a front clip change.

Oh yeah, definitely. Their lives are definitely more important than a slight refresh of a car.
