So far all the early reviews regarding the exhaust note don't jive with all the positive comments about it in this thread.

Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade because I'm sure an aftermarket or Nismo exhaust will take care of the problem.
It's a spade.

I brought this up before, but I really feel like they lost the magic of the last gen Z/G35 exhaust note. To this day I always find my neck snapping around to look at stock Z's and G35's ... heck even FX35's when I hear that distinctive exhaust tone. This new one is sounding a lot less impressive (in videos so far).

I'll wait until I hear it in person, but so far I'm feeling a bit let down.
