Leather is hot in summer, cold in the winter. Cloth is not.
Leather cracks and looks worse over time. Cloth takes much longer.
Leather is dead animal, cloth is dead cotton.

Why would this be locked? I have thought the Hybrid Z that Nissan has proposed would be a good idea, until actually driving a Nissan Altima Hybrid for a week. How many people here have actual...

I thought a Hybrid 370Z would be a good idea, after last week, I think NOT.

I drove a 2010 Altima Hybrid as a rental last week. Wow, what a bland car. The car did not get very good mileage (23 mpg mixed) and the engine sounded like a diesel. The CVT was dull and lifeless...

Drive it calmly for for the first 1000 miles but shortly after that get on it. It's all about the RPMs and not taking it for a long road trip at the same RPM.

If it's a lease....well try the...

I think Nissan should start with a more powerful V6 or even better an I6. And then just tune the crap out of it. Think 90's Toyota Supra. This car has very limited appeal, so it doesn't need more...

The CRZ is a fail for other reasons IMO. It does nothing well.

It would sell very well if it did JUST ONE of these these things: got 55+ mpg, handled like an NSX, did 0-60 in under 6 seconds,...

The weight of the Hybrid I can understand.

Puffing black smoke diesel - LOL. Yeah, that's not quite how they work anymore. Check out the BMW 335d. How about the Audi R8 Diesel?

Why not? Both of those engines have more potential than an NA GAS engine.

A diesel has massive torque as does an electric drive to assist as gas engine.

Does the 370Z make you a safer or reckless driver compared to other cars?

Often when people drive a car with more power they tend to drive faster, get tickets, take more risks. This is also associated with age as younger drivers usually the more risks. Hence why 16 year...

2011 Yr 3
2012 Yr 4 <--- Most companies refresh after 3-4 years.

And BTW - Almost all forums are an entire waste of...

911 is a different breed. The 993 looks great and is an air cooled classic. The 996 is kind of bland and not very popular. The 997 looks better. And 2012 introduces a new Carrera. The car has...

I never once said it was ugly. That's what you read into it so you must have those feelings.

I said it is showing it's age and needs a refresh. And I cited common things people have asked to...

Actually, no. I was thinking of Porsche. I mentioned earlier, I have given up on Honda. After many years, they lost what made them special. Kill the Prelude, kill the NSX, kill the S2000, and...

How could I forget about the oil cooler! And I heard the brakes have issues, isn't that why one car magazine wrecked one? They fluid gets hot quickly and they lose power?

Talk about an outdated car? The Corvette is near the top of that list. Actually a great car but I can't get past the awful seats.

I won't dispute that a Honda is out of date styling. That's why after over 25 years of being loyal to one brand I am willing to switch to another brand. But at least Honda refreshes each car after...
