370Z "Off-Limits" at Chicago AutoShow

speed_BMW330i

Seeing how I never miss a chance to check out some new rides, I went to the Chgo AutoShow this afternoon and I was surprised to see that Nissan did not have a 370Z available for consumer interaction (i.e. open car).

The only 370Z on-site was the 40th Anniversary Edition and it was cordoned off.

What's frustrating is that Infiniti had all of their cars available, even with the radio and other power options turned on. Why would Nissan give consumers access to all of their Infiniti models, but not the 370Z?

I was sooooo looking forward to spending some time behind the wheel.

On the bright side, I did get a chance to monkey around with an M3, a Lexus IS-F (very nice) and a 135i.

Still holding on the to the dream of getting a cpo M3 or IS-F, but I'll probably end getting a more reasonably priced 370z or 135i.

BTW, if u head out to the Chgo Autoshow, you definitely need to stop by the Fisker display. The two spokeswomen in white were total knockouts.
