I am a fan of the whole 2 tone package though, and that's very subjective.

Exactly... Its called active head restraints.

Great production and Micheal really sells the car and has great on camera presence..

Almost all of the "changes" and "improvements" her is talking about are the Nismo package from 2009. I wish the red striping wasn't just stickers.

And if the steering wheel is the MOST memorable part, they need to work on the car more, LOL

On second thought, "put it to the test" for 8 seconds shows how fast our 370z is!

And I totally agree with your second point!

So has the navi been confirmed for US Nismo models? It has been the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a PW Nismo. Love the integration of Navigation with system information and car stats. The look of an aftermarket double din unit kill it IMO.

Stoked to see it with the new black accents as well!

I did read that bit. Was just wondering if anyone had any extra input.

The dealers in Tucson all say they've been trained in the new model, yet say navi will not be an option lol. Seems like another case of the customer educating the rep ha.

Much obliged Z_ealot

You're kidding, right? You certainly know this was edited..probably spent at least an hour or two on the road..I used to make commericals..

I like how he says that the steering wheel is the part of the car that the driver touches 100% of the time, just as he takes both hands off the wheel.

jcosta79 · 07-22-2013, 12:04 PM

Only a race car driver would say the Nismo has a nice smooth ride without being too harsh.

A race car driver being paid to say it that is.
