I like my back window wiper! When I'm sitting at a light in the rain, I can't see who's coming up behind me or from how far sometimes. Turning that sucker on makes things clear again! :)

It's a manufacturing cost issue...a manufacturer simply can't do that without cutting into profits and that's especially true for a vehicle made offshore.

That's why most cars today, especially foreign made cars, offer a couple of "packages" and maybe a couple of individual options and that's it.

Or get a rear mounted camera. I may do that with my 370.

I'd have thought that someone as intelligent as you could have worked out the reason why people discuss options/voice opinions and suggest variations in a car forum - especially as that is what you have just done.

Man, you're a paradoxico. :drama:

I don't like DRLs, I want to control whether or not I have lights on. But I have come to begrudgingly consider them a necessary evil. I simply see too many idiots out there driving in the dark or in the pouring rain or heavy fog with no lights on. And I damn nearly got killed by one of these idiots 3 months ago -- that's how I totaled my 350.

Does the 370Z have a night sensor equipped?

The past few cars I've owned had this, and I find it to be a nice feature.

I think a lot of times when people scream that its a laziness thing regarding drl's or night sensors, its another way of justifying why the car manufacturer didn't spend the time to add industry standards it lieu of saving money.

OMG!!! TRAX!!!! ^^^ Banning, I had 2 of those RC Trax cars! Those were freaking awesome!!! I haven't seen those since I was maybe 7-ish.

Anyway, I REALLY hope they put the light sensor on since even the camry's have them.

A light sensor would be really nice touch.

By night sensor, are you guys referring to where you can leave the headlights on 'auto' and they'll come on once it gets dark? If so, the Z has that feature. I don't use it though, because it waits until it's too dark to turn the lights on for my taste.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor (at least you can if you have the nav system/info center - I'm not sure how you would adjust it without that info center).

However, I don't use my auto-on feature either; mostly because I always drive with my lights on and also because in "auto" in the daytime, the lights will come on while I'm in the garage and then, of course, turn off again as soon as I roll outside.

No. for example: In the t-23 Celica there was no switch. It just turned on when it got dark. It could be sunny out, but if I go through a tunnel the low beams automatically turn on, not the DRLs.

^^ So in the Celica there was no choice as to whether or not the lights would come on automatically? Because what you're describing is pretty much the same thing I'm describing, except in Nissans you can opt to disable the system.

Awesome! I really can't complain that we get an option for it, so I'm happy. Rather have the option, than no option at all. :D

Most cars you can disable that automatic on feature. They added it for MANY reasons... All GM cars that had that option except for the 80's Cadillacs had the option to disable it.
