Vote, do you like the 2013 370Z

I think I might have to go and buy that front end just for the LED's. I'm just a sucker for LED's. I don't think it should cost so much

I think I might have to go and buy that front end just for the LED's. I'm just a sucker for LED's. I don't think it should cost so much for a front bumper. I don't like the wheels at all, look cheaper than current wheels, and really they went out of their way to make the fuel gauge black, not that I'm downplaying it but that little gauge in black is so insignificant.

I voted for the new car. I like it but not 'much better' more like I will go and see it in person and would consider trading upon inspection

Default how the f*** could they mess up this bad?

how the f*** could they mess up this bad?

i mean, seriously, commoooon...this is just ridiculous.

i just recently graduated and am working in my first ever job. I have been looking to buy my first car for a couple of years now, but my financial situations allows me that only today.

I loved the 370z from the beginning. just astonishing styling, with edgy front bumper and funky yet assertive wheels.

with the 40th anniversary edition, i thought the look got even better and the more aggressive direction was the way to go. so i obviously thought i would go for this model, but decided to wait and see what this refresh was about.

omg, what a disappointment. the front looks ultra boring now and gives the car an overall tacky look. the wheels, even though very similar, just look off now...too out there, too artistic...im not even able to understand how they managed to ruin them so drastically with just such little change. as my wife put it, they look like corals now and I'm just praying i won't start seeing the previous wheels in the same fashion.

talk about counterproductive modifications. i mean I'm literally in awe at how little they were able to come up with and still make the car look like such a dull car!

my second choice for a sports car was the lotus evora 2013, but that seems to be the only lotus prototype which was presented in 2010 that won't come into production although the majority of critics acclaimed it as the bestlooking of the future lotus cars. talk about automotive industry's bad management decisions...no wonder they're fairing so bad!

graaaah I'm just so irritated and pissed about this...i just hope that this tendency won't reflect on future cars because i already find it hard to find a car that i think looks nice but if the idea is to ruin even those few i don't know what my options will be.

I'm not sure about tacky, but boring yes.

I would say they are LESS artistic. There is less sculpture and uniqueness to them. Now they just look more like bent square tubes than an ingenious form of nature. Like a man made structure rather than a natural tree branch.

I wouldn't get so over excited about all these changes. With a little effort the 3 main things can be changed. Wheels are fairly easy to swap out. The butt plug is changeable. The front end, while more difficult due to painting etc, is also swappable.

I voted for not liking it, but I also understand I would need to see it in person to make my mind up completely. I think I hated the tail lights on the 370 until I saw them in person.

I like it. The candy red exterior also looks great. I don't like the wavy spoke on the new wheel style. No more fangs. Too bad no power bump.

my $.02...

i feel they softened the styling of the 2013 in a effort to sell more volume of 370s, i said it from the beginning the reason the 370 was not selling in huge numbers, and the 350 did is because the 370 styling is really aggressive, and not as appealing to none enthusiast buyers. Normal people see aggressive styling as gaudy and over the top. I think this revision will help nissan get more 370s out the door, which i cant knock them for, every car company wants to have cars that sell, they are a buisness. But i do prefer the 09-12 styling more, as most of you guys do to, BECAUSE we are enthusiasts and it appeals to our pallet

Well put, I agree 100%. I'm not digging the new 350 style, it would have been nice to see brake vents or styling closer to the nismo front end but I guess that would have been to aggressive. I do like that they are offering the bose stereo and are upgradeing the brake lines and fluid for the 2013 nismo model, kind of makes you think that nissan is acknowledging that there was a brake issue with the 09-12 models. The red calipers on the sport models is a nice touch too.
