OH MY GOD - First UK cars are in showrooms and...

[chubbs]

OH MY GOD!!!

I phoned my local dealer first thing this morning, because I'd heard the the first 370Z's are appearing in showrooms here in England. The woman who answered the phone told me they didn't have one, but that their High Performance Centre - 50 miles away - does have one. So, slightly annoyed because I could sense she was clueless, I said, "No love, I'm talking about the 370Z, not the GT-R." To cut a long story short, she passed me onto her colleague who apologised and said, "Yes, we do have a 370Z in the showroom!". Duhhhhhhhhh

I immediately made up a story - told the wife I needed to go buy a tile cutter - and zoomed off to see the little beauty.

Well here we go...

OH MY GOD!!! That car is B E A U T I F U L!


I've been drooling over your pics on this forum for over six months now, but NOTHING - REPEAT NOTHING - prepared me for how different the 370 is from the 350z. Wow - and the more I looked at it the more I fell in love with it Photos DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS CAR'S BEAUTY.

That car is GORGEOUS - GORGEOUS - GORGEOUS

The model they have in the showroom is the lovely metallic grey, GT pack, auto trans (unfortunately)

The styling lines are lovely - especially the subtly sweeping curve from the door A-pillar along the bonnet to the headlight - W O W

The rear wheel arches are lovely, the general sweep of the side line is lovely, the squatness is lovely, the lowness, the wheels are so fine (and just the right size), the front and rear are so lovely, the cabin is really nice. The wing mirrors are SO much bigger - didn't realise this until today.

In the UK we get rear fog light, rear windscreen wiper, trunk cover thingy, electrically folding mirrors as standard.

I am having a test drive on Tuesday pm - and the sales guy is young/enthusiastic, so hopefully it will be a better experience than my last one at that place!

So, until I've driven the beast on Tuesday all I can say is that I walked out of the dealership, turned the corner, saw my BELOVED 350Z (that I was going to keep until I died) and it looked just a bit old and ordinary (sob sob, boo hoo).

oh - and I bought a tile cutter



ps - the salesman is being difficult about doing a deal, so he may lose a sale! He also said, "Don't suppose you'd want a GT-R, would you?" and I immediately told him not to be daft, but thinking about it - and knowing a bit about the GT-R - and seeing the Z - No, I actually would PREFER the 370Z over the GT-R
