I couldnt remember for sure, maybe Im just thinking of something else. What about the Foci?
GM's head unit displays are easy to read, and I like their steering wheel controls WAY better than the 370's chintzy ones...I also like the fact that their BASE radio is an MP3-playing CD player. The base 370 head unit is pretty ****-tacular.

I wont lie, Ford's doing everything right now it seems. The F150 did well, the Fusion got car of the year, the Focus is a great success...bout the only thing they dont have thats pretty damn good is a freaking minivan.

Yeah, but who needs a minivan? Ford is just ahead of the curve and realizes that we don't need them on the roads anymore! Anyways, I also have to agree with you guys on the clock in one of the pods... Don't like it at all, wish they would have taken an oil pressure gauge. I have seen this gauge avert disaster a couple times before, and really think our Z's could have benefited from it!

Instead of a goofy digital clock, how about a programmable digital interface with options such as oil pressure, analog clock, back up camera etc. Nissan could make it a factory option like Porsche’s Sport Chrono Timer Display.

Many of the interior features could be improved, but would drive up cost. I think Nissan was locked in on <$30K base price for marketing purposes.
I would like more customization of gauge usage and location, but at the end of the day I think they did a great job. All the money went into performance oriented hardware, and bang for the buck can't be denied. Keep in mind VDC is now standard, the seats are improved, improved interior material, etc. while they cut cost on windshield wipers, etc.

But if they put it on stock, everyone buying a Z would have to pay $500 - $1000 more for the car when not everyone needs it. Typically, only those who go to the track or live in very hot climates. This would have affected their price point.

also, was looking forward to the real TPMS where it told you the pressure of the tires. i was definitely disappointed when i saw that the 370 has just a dummy light

Well thanks, I haven't got the chance to mess with the car. I looked thru the Owners Manual and did'nt see anything. Thanks!
