Front bumper and rear bumper are plastic. Same with 99% of cars out there these days...side skirts are plastic, but there's steel underneath...they're decorative!

The rest is steel.

Never said anything about the doors or the hood, obviously those are aluminum. I still stand by that the Hatch is plastic though.

The hatch door is aluminum. Plastic would be lighter, then we wouldn't all need new hatch springs!

Hatch is aluminum.

The 350Z had a 5-star crash test rating, but I don't know if that was front, rear, or whatever. I doubt Nissan made a large step back with the 370Z. Also, my insurance premiums are slightly less for my 370Z compared to my 2008 350Z.

And the hatch is aluminum, not plastic.

yah, just go to officedepot and get those stars teachers use and put 5 of them on the side windows. now it's officially safe.

antman22 · 04-27-2010, 02:29 PM

just have her put on a helmet and some elbow pads and all is good.

kenchan · 04-27-2010, 02:31 PM

paper bag?

Sounds like a front to me. She probably looks at it as "she's too good to be caught riding in a Nissan"...seeing as she is in the Mercedes BMW bracket. She thinks you downgraded out of her "acceptable standard" and now is coming up with excuses why she doesn't want to ride in it.
