Mmmm very tasy it is too. No chance of a test drive yet unfortunately. It was this colour.

The brakes look massive with the 19" wheels :sweetheart:
 
Tempting. I love RWD Nissans (Silvia Turbo and S13 200Sx Turbo owner in the past). Not sure about all those buttons around the Sat Nav though.
 
Yep the interior looks and feels great though, pretty well screwed together and plenty of kit.

The top spec one with nav etc will be weighing at least £11k less than the equivalent specced Z4. I think I could be tempted.

11k less car imo
Ouch :o :D

Maybe if you see one in the flesh you'll think differently, it really is a great looking car inside and out. According to the reviews it should drive properly too.

I think it's the spiritual successor to the E86 3.0Si coupe.
 
sorry mike- not meaning to cause offence- just looks like a cheep car to me and a lil dated in the styling- i imagine its awesome to drive0 just not my cup of t.
 
No worries :D

What they also had there were several GT-Rs (over 10 I think) - now that is an awesome beast, it is massive though, I was surprised at how big it is.
 
:thumbsup:

I loved my 350Z, and wasn't sure about the 370Z at first but it is growing on me.

Would consider one but would be concerned about the depreciation has hit. The 350Z held up well for ages though (It was listed as one of the top 10 for least depreciation at one point), then it fell sharply last year. If I had sold my Jun 2005 car in Jan 2008 I could have got £19k, in Jan 2009 I got £13.5k - quite a big drop.

TBH mate all cars had a massive drop, my SLK went from firm offers of £25k to £17k in a matter of four months, and on the way back up again. Just a sign of the times.

I did mention on the other thread about the potential residual value, I mean 3.7 litres is pretty excessive given the current economic situation, fuel prices, tree huggers, etc.

I have to agree with Paddy though - It's most definitely 11k less car! (Purely because of how ugly it is) - Sorry Mike! Don't know if you've ordered one or not.
Hey no worries not ordered one, thinking about it though, although my first choice would of course be a lightly used Z4 sDrive35i this time next year.
 
Yeah I know Paddy, just need the prices to come down a bit to something more reasonable that's all :headbang:

Here's hoping that next year there are still some demo cars around.
 
I'm with Mike. I almost bought the 350Z but that rear boot space being taken up with the rear strut bar was stupid! Not so with the 370.

So they are out there then. Best get down to the dealers and have a look at the weekend. Very tempted myself!! :driving: 8)

My hair isn't grey enough to buy the new Z4 yet!! :P

So will you be pestering a Mercedes forum by then when you get a BMW? :P

Let me know what spec Z you would go for, at least I know what to avoid then as it will be the most depreciating one ... :evil: :poke:
 
I'm seriously tempted by these too. I nearly got a 350Z, but it was vetoed by her indoors and we ended up the Z4M. The 370Z has the thumbs up though.

350Z was such a great deal, not only in the purchase price, but the dirt cheap servicing and consumables (especially compared to M prices), and it looks like the 370Z will be the same. I really like the look of the Synchro rev control, every reviewer has raved about it.

Anyone know when they will be appearing at dealers? I might have to have a sniff around.
