A digital speedo would completely kill the Z. I wouldn't have bought one if the speedo looked any different?? I'd be in a C6 right now. What won me over is the Z interior. Which at the time superceded all interiors in it's price range. Today in 2013, this is more opinion than fact but, the Z is still the best sports car interior out there imho. In 2009, there was no argument. It was a fact.

Love the HUD. Favorite part of my buddies Vette. I know there are some units you can buy, but they use an ugly box that goes on the dash. At least that's what I noticed. Analog speedo it is!

Unknown, I'm talkin about what they did with the 350Z. Still have the analog speedo in the same place but place the digital speedo in one of the 3 center gauge compartments is. The clock doesn't need to be there. I know some people like the raw sports car look, but I do like a sense of modern luxury too. The fact the tach is the middle brings me the sports car feel anyways!

On another note, does anyone know why Nissan took away the 4 tire TPS sensor after the 06? That I cannot explain. I will give you 1000 internets to whoever can explain why they took that feature away.

Too many false alarms. Idiots would take their car to the dealer and complain when they didn't read the same.

You'd think they would be able to improve on it. My Camaro's is pretty accurate. Oh well a deal is a deal. I deposited 1000 internets into your computer.

I think you guys are getting confused with what Elan is saying. The 350 had a digital speedo in place of the clock (which is completely useless especially if you have the nav unit which also displays the time directly bellow

). But it also had an analog speedo in the same spot as the 370. I too was upset this no longer existed. I had a 350 about 6 years ago so I was spoiled as well. I also liked the TPS monitor feature too. But I'd rather have the 370 interior any day over the 350 so can't really complain too much

My 97 Maxima has it.

Well said. I loved my 350, but sat in my buddies 2008 after I got the 370...I questioned how I could ever have liked that interior. It seemed so dull and boring compared to ours. I do love the interior very much.

It might sound like a dumb one but I do really like having the extra chargeport under the glovebox that passengers can use while my other is occupied. I thought it was pretty neat the first time i saw it.

Garmin just announced that they're coming out with a HUD similar to this. It's a box that you place on your dash and I think there's also a special film you have to apply to the inside where it projects the HUD. The box then connects to your phone via bluetooth and you have to use either the Garmin Street pilot or Navigon nav apps to feed the HUD turn by turn and other data.
