ALL-NEW 2009 NISSAN 370Z COUPE READIES FOR DEBUT

Nissan offers the first look at the upcoming 2009 370Z Coupe, which makes its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19th. The all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z, the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z since its reintroduction as a 2003 model, solidifies the strengths of its predecessor with an unmatched balance of performance, style and value. The all-new Z will go on sale at Nissan dealers in early 2009.

From some angles it looks brilliant. From others, not so much. From the rear-end that reminds me of a Chrysler Crossfire, to the over-designed L-shaped lights and the awkward mouth up front. Then there's the silly gauge pods on the dash.

Sure does have a sexy profile though. Much better than the lumpy 350Z.

I have a huge hard-on and I fell off of my chair. Pure sex!!!

It's got a real Porche 911 look about it, especially with the heavy tail look.

Looks nice - needs a 4" drop though..

Not my cup of tea

Interior looks a little bit tacky to me, although its personal preference i guess... I also think they need to sharpen up the tail a little to make it look a bit more aggressive

That looks exactly like my parents 1971 240zx. even the dash pods. Words can't do this car justice, so will just sit here and weep.

I was about to say, reminds me alot of the older Z cars. Pity I don't like them.

I like it. Throwback to Z roots without being too obvious.

Yeah they've really brought back the old-school Z car shape with the profile, while the current 350Z is more faithful to the 300ZX shape. I think the profile works brilliantly but this new L shaped light business that Nissan is producing is just horrendous. It's just so contrived. That profile with the current 350Z headlights would be the shizz.

Cheers

i like the new shape of it but i really don't like the lights, the wheels or the interior!
my first thought was 'fuck what have they done?'
