Default Saw my first 350Z on the road today. Blech!

...in Toronto.

I looks like a Nissan got their hands on a rejected TT design. Something Freeman Thomas would have done if he wasn't trying hard.

Not only that, it was that awful baby diarrhea orange/brown colour.

*shudder*

Of course, I'm biased. :-D

Anyone else caught a glimpse of one on the road? The turn signals are really low - in the bumper, actually.

Default I saw one the other day stopping at a rest area on the NJ turnpike...

Saw it from a distance but it stood out from the other cars. It was silver and I saw it from it's fugly back-end.

The look of it from behind reminds me of a sloth.

Default Total opposite of my thoughts when I saw my first one yesterday.....

I think it's an absolute stunner, personally.

I'm not so sure about the TT comparison though. So many cars are going to this sort of profile, the it's getting to be an academic point. One could say "look at the TT, it's such a ripoff of the Karmann Ghia." Ok, that's maybe a bit extreme.

Agreed. Saw a blue one with xenons on taking a corner towards me. Not a bad sight.

Default True...

A lot of cars are going for the same profile.

I just thought it didn't have a very cohesive look to it - it looked too Japanese to me I guess. Too gimmicky, IMHO.

To each their own! :-)

It's hard to laugh at all of that normally aspirated h.p. for thousands less...
