Woohoo, look! It\'s another car thread by yours truely.

My newest object of desire is the Nissan 350Z. Me wants it. My preciousss.

So, do you like it? Hate it? Drive it? Personally I think it\'s the shiznitz (or something).

MOst of these guys here know where I stand on the 350 and the 350 roadster :)

On a side note, i took one for a test drive 2 days ago and OMG was that thing fun. Luckily for me, the dealer that went with me was a car enthusiast as well adn let me open it up pretty good.

I have no complaints.

One of the latest episodes of Fastlane on FOX showed a turboed 350Z going at it with a Porsche.  A 3.5L VQ with a big fat T4 sounds sexy, an exotic type of sexy.

I guess I\'d have to say that the 350Z doesn\'t really grab me.  I\'ve never driven one, but I sat in one at the LA auto show a couple months ago.  Overall it has some good ideas, but I think they dropped the ball design-wise in a few spots.  The front grill opening has always looked wrong to me, the taillights look a little silly, and the door handles always seemed too call attention to themselves too much.  I have no doubt the car it fun to drive, but I can\'t comment on that since I haven\'t driven it.

Visually, it just never had the allure for me that several other cars have.  I always thought the 300 Z was a much more beautiful design, even if it had it\'s own unique problems.  I found even the Miata or the Subaru WRX to be much more appealing visually.  The North American WRX STi is going to be a mad dog.  I would definitely buy the STi over the 350Z in a second.  Of course that version of the STi will not be offered in Europe I believe.

Hmmm STi vs 350Z.  I\'d assume the stock turbo, lighter weight,  and extra 13 horses would put the STi in the low to mid 13\'s in the quarter, inching it ahead of the Z performance-wise.

As for looks the Z, I think you\'re the only one who prefers a Miata over the Z. :)  Whether you like it or not the Z turns more heads and grabs more chicks than a Miata or WRX.

I have the new Altima, but there is no substitute for a 350Z.

I wouldn\'t mind trading in the Celica for the 350Z or one of the new Mazda RX-8\'s. They are both gorgeous cars.

If I could get a 2 seater I\'d grab that sucker in a heartbeat.  I looked at the G35 before I bought the BMW.  So sweet.

I don\'t even like cars for the most part, but they had one of those puppies at the mall, and I was drooling over it...
