better yet much like your wife, after some years......

If sales don't improve, 2012 could be the end of the 370Z. I.M.O.

Just make sure the new one knows how to exploit that "shift knob vibration". That is a talent not easily duplicated.

It will age just the same as every other revving mass of metal, plastic & rubber.

Personally, I think a 300Z (as beautiful as it is) looks dated. I think the 350Z looks slightly less so. In time the 370Z will follow suit and I will no doubt be looking in a new direction. I mean hey, when I see an F40 (as awesome as it is) I can't help but chuckle a little at the terribly dated Radio Shack dash & Halogen headlights.

I agree the 300zx is pretty iconic and will probably stand the test of time more than the 350Z and 370Z. But the 350Z IMHO is what revived the Z car. I think the 350 had the sleek look of the 300 with a modern touch. I also used to the think the rear end of the 350 was a bit too long from some angles, but I think its a beautiful car. I owned a 350 for 4.5 years and traded it in for the 370. I think they took the same formula as before, the 370 has the sleek look of the 350 with a now more modern touch. But no matter how you slice it the daddy will always be the 240 and that is where everything came from.

No offense, but this makes no sense. How can you state that a 280Z looks like an old Ferrari and then state that a 370Z will be "just another car in 4 years"? A 370Z looks like a new Ferrari!

I'll leave the issue about my wife's looks alone. Heh heh.
