Vote, do you like the 2013 370Z

The door handles look AMAZING! I am going to take a sledge hammer to my hideous 2011, then dump it in a water filled rock quarry, claim the insurance money and run out and buy the 2013.

I'm not sure about tacky, but boring yes.

the wheels, even though very similar, just look off now...too out there, too artistic...

I would say they are LESS artistic. There is less sculpture and uniqueness to them. Now they just look more like bent square tubes than an ingenious form of nature. Like a man made structure rather than a natural tree branch.

im not even able to understand how they managed to ruin them so drastically with just such little change. as my wife put it, they look like corals now and I'm just praying i won't start seeing the previous wheels in the same fashion.

I wouldn't get so over excited about all these changes. With a little effort the 3 main things can be changed. Wheels are fairly easy to swap out. The butt plug is changeable. The front end, while more difficult due to painting etc, is also swappable.

Pics of cars NEVER look as good as real life. I'm not sure why, but they don't.

Yeah I know that's y I. Voted nissan totally messed this one up. What I'm saying though is that nissan is the type of give a power bump but not say anything till the car is released just like with the oil cooler... So in that respect my opinion might change????? Let's see what the future brings.

No, we are busy building the Juke R, we have no time for taking the Z seriously...

Ooo... that Nissan "Joke" is amazingly fugly.

LukasC · 02-08-2012, 10:18 AM

I dont like the front end they make it look less agressive and i do like the brake calipers and the new guage cluster. But those rays are softened and feminine imho.

I like it but I definitely want to see some more pictures. I wonder if I could open those turn signals up and black them out? I could really go for the front bumber then.
