The 370Z is one ugly looking car and it should have been priced around the US pricing of $30,000.

I guess it takes time to grow like most new cars. If you compare the side of the 370z to the old 350, the 350 is starting to look outdated haha

I think it could be a combination of both? Also, I think they reduced the price to try and stay competitive. The new STi wagons were priced cheaper than the older model sedans. and the BMW 135i starts at 41k CAD.

As for the SynchroRev Match MT, I believe it is an optional feature ($$$). And from what I hear, you have to push a button to turn it on. I bet half the ppl who have it won't know what it even does.

is still a nissan, so i don't think they would want the price to be too much, cause i think they do want to separate the market between the G37 and 370z.

Man nice price. If Honda ever release the next gen S2000 (after the economy restablizes), I wonder if they'll make its price competitive too.

I think it looks fine but engine is too big. Fuel Guzzle guzzle guzzle if it's a DD.

I found some info on the Synchro Revmatch system:
http://jalopnik.com/5114318/nissan-3...o-super-driver

Interesting in reading how the system works. Looks like you have push a button to turn it OFF (I said earlier that you have to push a button to turn it on).

I will say one thing and that is for $41,000 you sure in hell are getting a whole lot of car. I mean for $41,000 you can pick yourself up a bare 328i coupe.


Edit:

I hate to eat my own words but I'm starting to like the 370z. I did a quick search on eBay and I actually think white with the orange/tan interior looks hot.

IMHO if I have the option to turn the revmatch option off, I would feel a bit dumb turning it off. Although it'll be more fun to drive with it off, I would personally feel like I'm deliberately picking the slower option, and people would think you're a retard if you miss a shift or something.

the design resembles the 240Z more now, which imo looks good and better than the 350Z

i think that doesnt look good on the 370 is the rear bumper... weird shape around the exhaust tip area

HOT HOT HOT, look much better than 350Z, not to mention it's lighter, faster and smaller... good price but I also want the sport package (+$4000)... too expensive for me at the moment, two or three years later... I may be able to get one...

I'm glad to see reduced pricing for the 370Z. And I agree with ShyGuy, 370Z>350Z.
