Actually I'm starting to side with you on this.. I am beginning to like the changes.. I had planned on blacking out the fangs if I got mine so this solves that. However I was REALLY looking forward to a DI. I'm a MPG fan and always try and get as high mpg as I can, so more power AND a high MPG and I would have been sold.

Now I'm considering on saving up even more cash and just buying "the next Z" in a few years when it comes out. If it turns out I don't like the look of that Z, then I will just get the last year 370z which is not a bad option as well because it would have every kink fixed and nearly all the options at that point. So I think I win either way.

I'd like to see if I can fit the new fuel gauge in my car. Probably cheaper to do an overlay.

I never liked the look of the 350Z with the side markers in the bumper covers and they go back to it again. I'll be keeping mine for another 4 or 5 years I guess.

seems to me nissan is doing to the Z what GM does to the vette
very small tweak's between year models until they wear the look out
which is fine because if your not a true fan most can't tell the difference...

but i will say GM does seem to add small amounts of HP from year to year
where nissan will just ride the Q37 into the ground. not counting oil cooler
which should have been installed on the 09 and all since then.

Exactly. I do not want to rain on another's parade. The pics may not do justice.

Pics of cars NEVER look as good as real life. I'm not sure why, but they don't.

The color is awesome, the wheels are nice but not in combination with the 370. Those are wheels I'd expect to see on a more luxury-oriented car. The current Sport Rays are aggressive looking because of their straight lines. I'm not a huge fan of the lights on the bumper or the absence of the fangs. It almost seems like Nissan was trying to retreat to the Z33's styling in that area. Red calipers are a nice touch with that particular body color. The new look of the fuel gauge doesn't really matter to me, because I never had a problem with the current one. It is still an awesome looking car though. Anxious to see the new Blue I am reading about.

Well I dont care for it. That is why I just bought a '12 model. I like the fangs and front bumper design on the '09-'12. The new wheels would make me want to go aftermarket ASAP. Whereas my current ones I like and I am in no rush to ditch them. Other than that its the same car.

If you like the new wheels? You can wait for someone to buy a 13 and when they start modding a sport. You can buy the new sprt wheels at a discount.

No I do not like the new '13 wheels. What I meant by what I said was that if I had the '13 wheels I would want to sell them and get aftermarket right away. Whereas with the current Sport Wheels I can live with them as I like the design and am in no hurry to get rid of them for aftermarket.
