My wishlist of changes/improvements so far, bearing in mind that I'm in the UK and haven't seen one in real life yet! (I'm sure I'll think of more)...

Electrics & Audio...

1. Electrically retracting wing mirrors, like the 350Z has already.
2. Indicators in the wing mirrors.
3. More stylish/sporty, maybe smaller wing mirrors. The current ones are too chunky still.
4. LEDs in the headlights.
5. USB port, for all the music on my memory sticks.
6. A 'dipped beam' indicator light in the instrument cluster, as well as the 'full beam' indicator light. I'm right in thinking the 370z doesn't have this, aren't I?
7. A less bright blue 'full beam' indicator light. I hear it's too strong a light.

Interior...

1. Guages more similar to 350z please - (if it ain't broke, don't mess it up).
2. 350z-style gear knob - it was better.

Engine & mechanicals...

1. 350bhp (partly by losing weight?).
2. Brembo badge on the brake calipers, just because I prefer it to the word 'Nissan'.
3. A lot more torque AND longer first & second gears.
4. Quality exhaust system.
5. Some chips and very long bolts.
6. Adjustable suspension.

Bodywork...

1. Wheel arches that are slightly more snug for a 19" wheel.
2. Slightly lower ride height (-1"?).
3. Even wider wheel arches, especially the rear - which probably means making the trunk area more narrow, rather than widening the actual arch.
4. Lose the fridge door handles, leaving hardly anything - maybe just a button and a lock.
5. No lumps & bumps in the front & rear lamps.
6. 'Z' badges front & rear, instead of the Nissan burgers - they will never do this, of course.
7. More attention to the side skirt area.
8. Headlamp washers (EU) that don't spray your nice clean bodywork.
9. A more aggressive-looking front view.
10. Redesign of that over-large rear number plate recess - it's my least favourite part of the entire body of the car.
11. Make the front windscreen slope a little more (ie, less vertical, more sleek).
12. Hydraulic struts to lift & support the bonnet (hood).

...and a few thousand £/$ off the price


Well, you asked, didn't you? Maybe Nissan will take this list and make my mini-dreams come true with a facelift model soon
