I agree the 350z is still a beauty along with the G35!

Yeah Nissan has a knack for making "time-less" body styles. I still look at my '91 240SX and think that could be a current generation car.

Props to Nissan!

I wish they would do something with this 240 concept drawing;

I also think that Nissan's designs are more time-proof than others. The last gen Maxima, and even the Maxima before that, still look good. The Murano has been around forever but it still looks fresh. My 350Z still gets me thumbs ups 5 years after I bought it. Infiniti G coupe and sedan models, as well as the Q and M lines look modern as well.

The lines of the new FX are wild and I hope that this is the direction that the Infiniti line heads in. It will be especially interesting if it trickles down to the next G coupe.

Mmmm 240Z

or maybe badge it as a 240SX with a new SR24DET - drool....

... oh and swoop up the rear windows

The only thing that i really hated about the 350z is that everyones has one, here in NORCAL for every block i drive i at least see one 350z I pretty much got tired of looking at it. So far it's very rare for me to see a 370 i've seen 3 so far so i hope it stays that way.

Surprisingly it has. I see one 370Z maybe on a weekly basis.

I've only seen two that aren't mine. Ever. This would be on the street and off the street (race event, car show, etc). Granted, I don't drive much during the day nor go out to a lot of racing/show stuff. But still :P makes me happy

I would cry tears of joy if they reintroduced a new S car. Especially if it looked like that. I would only demand that the engine come with huge amolunts of torque!!!

I agree completely. I have '91 White 240sx with 17" silver 7 spoke rims and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I think I'll even go give it a good wash and wax now since I am all done with work for the day.

Dude if nissan comes out with a new S car and it has the power and tracking ability to back it up. I would trade in my evo on a heartbeat.
