As a former 370 owner, I too am anxiously looking forward to the new Z. While I loved the car, I did tire of the poor visibility caused by the cowl and the mirrors, and frankly, it wasn't the prettiest car out there.

I also had a 7-AT as it was the only thing available at the time - post Japanese tsunami in mid-2011. I won't make that mistake this time.

I was more a fan of the 350Z exterior styling.

I drove a then new 280Z while in college, and would love to see the Z35 come closer to that package. Doubtful we'll see any weight reduction, but I would like to see some cleaner lines.

The Q60 gives me hope. Love the interior of that car, and we know the Z will mimic it to some extent.

If it turns out the Z35 isn't what I was hoping for, I'll pick up a final year Nismo at probably a nice discount.

While I listed a few dislikes above, understand that I still love the car. I almost pulled the trigger on a new Nismo last month, but decided to wait once the Z35 was announced to debut in Tokyo this October.

One way or another, my decision on how to move forward will be made by events in Tokyo soon.
I really do not see some type of new innovative Z35 being shown in October.
Maybe I am wrong. Just does not seem that Nissan is that interested in
a major evolution of the Z.
Maybe they will put the Z "To sleep" for awhile. Much like Toyota dis with the
Supra. Come back with a world beater.
