Though the 370z never got as played out as the 350 (at least around here) would you guys let the fact that a new Z is coming out in a little bit deter you from buying the 370z? (I wont have the option to trade it in for a new one)

-Which year of 370 would you suggest I look at? (did the last two years work some kinks out or are they each pretty much similar)

- If you had a few cars on your buying list and really like say two of them, do you ever wonder about what it would be like with the other car now?

-Sum up your Z experience in one word

Thanks alot, I dont mean to repeat any questions that have already been asked but just wanted to see what you guys think.

1. No I wouldn't let it deter me. I was in the same boat as you - I was waiting for years to buy a Z and finally made the decision to do it. Every financial decision was based around saving up more money to down payment the Z. I thought "what if the new model next year comes in orange??" but I bought one anyway. The next year's model came in another grey color. winning! Now if I bought a 2008 350Z and found out the 370 was coming out, I would have been sadface. I don't think that's the case for another couple years.

2. Which year you buy might depend on color selection, if you want an OEM backup camera, etc. I have a 2010 that has defrosting mirrors and a cabin microfilter over the 2009. Also I guess they fixed some hatch problems. I don't see any huge 2010 problems and I assume the 2011 is just as solid.

3. I wonder what it would be like to own the other cars and then remember how passionate I am about this car and how unique it is.

4. Exclusivity.

You hit my point in question 1 on the head. I was thinking in terms of had I have bought a 350 and then the 370 came out I would feel like my car is no longer cool at all because IMO the 370 is such a better car in many ways. Same as if you bought a 2010 Mustang GT and then the 2011 5.0 came out. I want to avoid that feeling of let down, thats why I asked. Im also doing the same, Im just saving up money for the car and I dont want to finally make the move I have been waiting for for so long, and then in 1 year have a new one come out that trumps me.

Thats why I like the Challenger and 370z alot. The Challenger will always look the same on the outside and they are supposed to discontinue it. The 370z is the total package and now with you guys saying plans of a new Z are not out yet that helps ease my worry. Plus with these two, everybody may not know what they are but they do know that they are awesome cars.
