What I truly like is the aggressive mouth (complete with fangs!) and the smooth, tight skin. Passersby at the L.A. Auto Show immediately stopped in their tracks when the yellow 370Z was unveiled. I feel it commandeers the Nissan GT-R’s thunder (and I think its much better looking). It is simply a complete, handsome, comprehensive design that betters its predecessor in every way.

I agree with the comment about the Z looking better than the GT-R.

Before the economy puked I had saved enough for a GT-R, and probably could still swing one today if I'm really stupid with my money. But the car's looks just doesn't do enough to inspire the lust factor for me. IMHO, the 370z is a much better looking car than the GT-R. But the overwhelming performance charisma of the GT-R probably helps it look better than it really does. I have to admit when a Z and GT-R are sitting side by side in the dealer's showroom, the GT-R just grabs attention because of the car that it is.

The looks are great for sure, but the butthole should have been removed for our cars.

For me, the 370Z was a huge eye catcher. I was never attracted to the 350, but the 370 made changes in all the right ways to get my attention.

As for the GTR, I was never a fan of the way the Skyline looked, and the GTR didn't do much to impress me either. I was amazed by its specs, but the look... Looks like an Impala smashed into a 350 from behind.

The two cars that stand out to me are the 370 and the Camaro, both cars I'm considering and both beautiful in there own right

Nice find Ferrari! i think the list is spot on and i agree with just about every word of that review/comment.

LOL - I agree. I would have never thought that I would be attracted to the Z until recently. Enough so that I am debating between Z and other higher end vehicles (e.g., M3, 911s). I think for the price, it's one helluva car.

I also concur on the GTR comments. Saw one last night and just didn't do much for me. On paper and performance it's amazing but just nothing that gets my heart pounding.

I wonder if we will make the 2010 List ?

im with you there. I actually ordered a camaro. As a matter of fact I ordered three separate times. Its a great car but GM needs to get there act together. My order kept being dropped at every dealer I placed an order. I shouldn't have to fight to purchase a 40,000 car.

Anyway I have the 370 now and I am more then happy. Hate to say it, but the quality of the Z is miles ahead of the camaros (with the touring package of course). Still love the camaro though, it really is a good car.

The 370Z looks good now, but fan delete and fog light would turn the car into a lust object.

I was pretty dead set on getting a G37, but the looks of the Z made me take a pass on all of the ammenities in the G.

I agree with the others on the GT-R. The car just looks incredibly dated. It looks like someone welded the front of an Acura Integra to the back of a Vette. To the average Joe I think the Z draws more attention.

I love my Z but I would swap for GT-R in a heartbeat. It wouldn't matter what it looked like.

I would take that swap too. I could sell the GT-R and buy 2 Zs.
