Edit: They have crash tested the G37, from what I was told second hand. They are still all on the FM platform, including Z33, Z34.

A little research reveals that most vehicles that are crash tested meet minimum sales figures. The 370Z is such a low volume vehicle that it was not performed.

Why does the 370 not have any safety ratings?

Some Models Are Not Rated

If the model you seek is missing crash-test results, they may be pending or the vehicle may not be tested. Both agencies concentrate on the "highest-volume vehicles". Convertibles are rarely tested for this reason, though for the first time in 2007 IIHS tested 10 models, including several best-sellers like the Chrysler Sebring and Ford Mustang. Results for new or recently reengineered models are likely to appear months after the car goes on sale because both agencies purchase their test subjects from dealerships. NHTSA notes if a vehicle is TBT (to be tested) or if results are pending or under review. IIHS has begun to offer more detailed information about whether or not test results are pending.

So owners are the crash test dummies like in this video:

I'm in on the new Z for sure. I owe my life to my last one so from a safety standpoint I'm already sold.

Hmm... in this render the front end reminds me of a cross between an Aston Martin and a Ford Focus. It doesn't give me any Z vibes.

This looks accurate. Proportions like like they should based on the current platform. I like it.

Looks good, but on the teaser pics from Nissan, doesn't it look like it has a pointed nose? I hope the back side quarter view looks as good.

The headlights and sides looks befitting. The front air dam not so much. I know we're all speculating... but man so excited.

You’re right. Teaser front end is pointed like an S30.

A Nismo nose with less slope to it.

That picture looks like some food package in Japan.
