Yesterday I called all the dealerships around me bout the new z and they all said they wouldnt be getting them till late jan-early spring. i then called cherry hill nissan and they said 2 of them arrived on the truck 20 min b4 i called. So i took a drive over to check them out. they were still wrapped and hadnt even made it it the shop yet to be inspected. i may b considering one in a few months.check out the pics.

Yes, they indeed are. I initally disliked the 370 but it is definitely growing on me and the performance numbers are very good.

I'm not too crazy about those rims or that bland interior. I love the 370, believe me, but that one in particular doesn't drive me crazy.

Did you try Pine Belt Nissan or Rt66 Auto Mall in Neptune? I am thinking tomorrow I may look around. Pine Belt in Toms River is right near my house, but I forgot to ask them Monday when I was in their parts dept. I'd rather not have to drive to Cherry Hill to see one in person.

I just hope when I test drive one that I accidently forget my wallet at home . . . could be trouble

i agree. the sport package gives it nice looking 19s ( the nicest lookin stock rims ive ever seen), rear spoiler, front lip, n bigger brakes for about $3000. deffinitely worth it. and im not a fan of the red.cherry hill was the only dealer around me who had them. infact the other dealers were predicting late jan- early spring!

I don't know how I feel about the red. It's love/hate with me and red cars. I mostly like them after they've been modded, maybe had tint added. I think with this Z I prefer the dark grey, not sure of the exact color name. Yeah, those rims in all their marketing, in the sport package, are very nice for stock rims. And late Jan to early spring is some buuuullll! I'll have to hit up a dealership in PA if NJ is gonna be holdin out on me.

If I go to Pine Belt tomorrow I'll post my own pics as well.

LOL... I just dropped by the dealer I bought my coupe from to ask what they expected pricing to be like... They had no clue. The next day autoblog had the pricing out. I'm still torn between a evox, g37, or 370z.

I just made an offer for 2008 350z nismo for $32K. Let's see if they willing to negotiate or not. If not, then I'll be looking for 370z with sport package for roughly $34K.

My dealership isn't getting their first shipment of the 370 until March. When I asked the girl at the customer service desk she asked, "there's a 370z?"

I said "Why do you work here?" lol

How ignorant. Hearing this ENRAGES ME. I'm just gonna have to drive right through the front door and into the showroom . . .

They DID have a Nismo Z outside that I'd be willing to test drive - but never buy

Call me crazy but I've been checking these babies out. Went for a ride in one this past weekend at my brother's dealership and the ride was exhilarating to say the least. Yes it was a 7 speed auto but holy crap does that car fly! If I'm getting one tho, I'm definitely getting a stick!

In about a month I'll be getting the 370 as a second car. I don't know if I want the Platinum Graphite or Magentic Black, or Red.

I def want the orange leather though. Hopefully I'll be able to find a Touring Sport with Nav system. ::fingers crossed::I'm stoked! I also can't decide if I want manual or automatic. I'm always drinking, smoking, on the phone, and shaving while driving (pause for reaction), so manual may be difficult . . .

As Ellen Degeneres once said . . .

"And then there are those drivers who shave while behind the wheel . . . Mhm, yeah, see it always makes me nervous when I see that leg up on the dashboard!"

Flippers? You mean the paddle shifters?

Ironically, the car in the pics is 100% identical to the one I saw at a dealer near the one shown in the pics, in the air dam was also dirty. I dunno what that's about - quick fix, but odd nonetheless
