And i thought everyone had gotten over the clear lights…

They look 100%, absolutely, with out a doubt, WANK!

Way to go and completely balls the thing up… as if it wasnt close enough to a style disaster to begin with..

Im sure that it will be a cracking drive though.

Alex, I commented that ultimately the four pot is better…as used in the TTS :)

I still find the front end styling a little difficult to swallow, but I’m sure the drive more than makes up for it… I figured a ’sports horn’ came free with every Z after the first drive though!

You’ll never convince me that the 4 cylinder front drive Audi is gonna be anywhere near as entertaining as this car.

Zahmad, I am fully aware of that and that is the engine that is within one second of the 3.5 V6 in the Nissan. The 3.2 in the Audi is only .2 of a second slower than the Nissan. Besides, if the performance is good what’s wrong with a four cylinder?

To Alex, thats the TT four pot, not the v6 like in the 370z…although the four pot ultimately is much better….

To Milobob, the TT starts at $4,000 less than the 350z and the difference between 0-100 times is less than one second. If you don believe me, look it up yourself.

To The Salesman, yes, I do have to give you that but then again, it’s not as if the z series of Nissans don’t have a reputation of “men” in their twenties buyng them second hand and pittng stupid looking body kits and oversized wheels on them.

Alex,
Actually, yes. And not based on performance but rather on perception. We all know what picture we paint in our minds the moment someone says “well yes, i drive a Cayman S” I would rather talk to the bloke who just bought a Nissan 370Z.

The TT though is much more expensive for similar performance. This is more of like the new modern muscle coupes.. rather than a pretty looking coupe. I do belive the Z is also a bigger car dimension wise? I do like this new Z :) Lets go rice it up like in tokyo drift!!!!!!!!

Well I like that a lot more than the other one. There are problems though:
1) It takes a bit of the hardcore factor away from the car and it will make people who buy this package look a bit boring.
2) If people want a car like this to be fashionable and/or stylish, won’t they just buy an Audi TT?

To The Salesman, are you really saying you would rather one of these to a Porsche? I mean, I know this the 350z got great reviews and I’m sure this one will too but I don’t think they’re up to Porsche standards quite yet. However, I may be eating my words come review time, I just doubt it will have overtaken the Cayman S.

Oh, i hope the “sports horn” is the same as the one on Dukes Of Hazard. :) This actually looks a little Porsche like to me, except with loads more appeal. Is CA going to get a drive and review one for us?
