BeksNice, no worries on what 09-12 owners think. They do have beautiful cars and they really love them. So if they feel theirs are so much nicer than our future 13's, I'm not going to disagree with them, it is a matter of personal taste.

As for saying hate or ugly, definitely not words I would choose in describing someone else's car, but if that's their vocabulary, it is what it is.

I've posted a few more 13 pics in Genereal Discussions, 2013 Prices, You Guessed It thread.

Nissan didn't take out the fangs, it's only been redesigned. It's still there if you look closely.

That's good that you like the fangs. Maybe you should've written a letter to Nissan protesting the minor change. I'm quite certain the 2009-12 bumper would fit on the 2013 body.

The 350Z was in production for 6 model years (2003-08). I believe from 2006-08, Nissan changed a few things including the wheels, front bumper, tail lights, and hood. I suppose the reason they did this was to keep the 350Z looking fresh while buying time until the 370Z's production release. So one would imagine something similar w/ the 370Z; the 2009-12 all have a similar look, then they refreshed a few things for the 2013 minor change model. Nissan just wants to keep the 370Z looking fresh until they can release whatever sucessor they have in the works.

2003 Nissan 350Z

2007 Nissan 350Z

These things happen..

Another example:

1995-96 Nissan 240SX aka zenki S14

1997-98 Nissan 240SX aka kouki S14

Wait is this a duplicate thread or did all my posts get deleted?? I swear we were just talking about this earlier today.

While I don't think the Fangs are the highlight of our Z's design. Once blacked out, the Z looks insane. Blackout out fangs give the Z an amazingly aggressive look. The subtle fang with 350z design queue overlay looks weak and mainstream generic on the refresh. Adding the lights gave it the hue of germaposer. Especially since germaphile LED lighting is 6 years running strong... that's something chevy or ford would do... push styles after the fact. The hyundaiesque copying done by nissan is a step down from the original Z34 design...

I have high hopes for the 13 NISMO though.

That's because the nismo looks the same but the brake and wheel color.
