Does anyone else find the Z not very photogenic?

I think it's extremely photogenic.

I think it's all about the camera angle. The z looks different every 6 inches I move around it, such a sexy, curvey car! I love taking pics of mine. You just have to find your favorite point of view. I do agree that in person is the best way to view one.
But until my wife allows me to park in the living room...

Haven't washed her in over a month, then murdered about 10,000 bugs on the drive over and up.

Is it just me, or do other folks feel this way?

It's just you.

Kidding.

No, it probably comes down to the difference in a 2D picture and 3D reality. A picture can only convey so much - being there and seeing the depth/curves in person is always superior.

Im no camera guy, but u need to use a certain lens 20 or 35mm prime to capture the curves of the 370z. if u use a celphone with a flat image, it will look pretty boring.

Completely unretouched pics straight off my digital camera. The day I brought her home...

Very photogenic!

I strongly agree. Z is really not photogenic. I always feel that.

But actually I like it because fewer people would buy Zs after their internet research, and it does contribute to the Z's rareness.

*

Here's a tip: Whenever a girl asks to me what kind of car I have, I always answer that I have a poor one because I'm not so rich.

Then when she really sees my car, almost without exception she says 'you said you had a poor car, but you lied !!' then I smile and gently answer 'I am so poor that I could not buy the four doors, but I'm still pretty positive and now just satiafied with my two doors'.

After all, it results in three positives.

1) You can be humble and modest
2) You can give her a surprise with some humor
3) You can really show your NICE LOOKING Z to her when it is not so photogenic.

.. I hope it works for you, too.
