This is always a tough one (see where other threads have deteriorated to)

The 370Z is the replacement for the 350Z due to be revealed later this year. It's got a 3.7L V6, should be producing 250kw and a bit more torque than the old one too. Still two doors, and two seats. Similar wheelbase to the 350Z, but a shorter car overall, maybe a bit wider? Much better interior too lol. IT's meant to be a lot more sports orientated, i.e. lighter and more powerful, than the 350Z. Apparently the doors are made of some sort of composite (not metal). Furthermore, Nissan say they're going for the Cayman with this one, and only at half the price
I test drove a 350Z before buying a RX-8 -- the predecessor to the Polo. It totally underwhelmed me -- noisy, harsh, a naff interior and not very comfortable -- so I hope the 370Z is much improved.

my office manager has just bought a black 350Z track edition (brembo brakes, orange/tan leather, upgraded suspension??). he says he loves it to bits and he has already ordered a twin turbo set-up for it. can't remember the figures he got quote but bloody ridiculous (does 440kW at the fly sound about right, that rings a bell for some reason).
