Oh snap! Good call son!

I was also considering the Maxima and the Infiniti FX

The FX makes me wanna touch myself! Ugh, it's gorgeous and sounds like sex on wheels LOL

I'm so surprised that the BMW 1 Series is even comparable - it looks like a little toy.

But, everytime I watch a YouTube video on the 370z, I squirm in my my pants. Perhaps I'll treat myself. I need to first get my own place!

Yea im thinking on waiting for the 370z, looks like one fun ride! But i would have to send a couple more bucks for the Nismo edition.

Is it confirmed there will be a Nismo trim available so soon?

See, I'd even wait to see an AC in an SE-R version - I'm very curious as to what it would offer. A Z may not be feasible for me, but I'm not a family man, so it's usually me and one person. I dunno though, I'm frightened to convert to such a small car. I keep watching videos on the FX and I'm also thinking maybe the G37 would be a comparable option, but certainly not as sweet lookin as the Z!

I have no idea when it will be available, i still have a year or two before i pick up a new car, so hopefully the price will drop a bit. But yea im not a small guy, and a two door would be hard to switch too seeing that i used to have a Explorer. But i need something that can move, and im sure the aftermarket parts will be plentiful for the 370. The G37 looks real nice, im guessing you would pick up the sedan? There coming out the AWD G37 shortly, but they really bumped the price quite a bit for that edition.

I have the "fit' issue too. I'm 6'2" and almost 200lbs, so I need to be comfortable. I did see in a video review though that the 370z is comfortable for drivers over 6 foot.

If I got a G37, it would be the coupe. The reasoning would be to get the coupe, but be able to have a backseat to utilize for bags, etc. And as for the AWD, that's kind of why I'm intrigued by the WRX Sti. It even has a control on the transmission to distribute wheel power as you please - AWD, FDW, RWD and how much is going to each axle. I'm just not too wild about the look and I don't exactly want to look like a boy racer. I guess it would take test driving each car I'm interested in, look at the warranties, numbers, etc, and make my decision from there. I'll more than likely wait about 6 months though, especially to feel out the Z and see what needs improvement with the new design.
