Pics from 2013 370Z Chicago Auto Show

I do not like the front at all, the lights are pretty much what every other car maker is throwing on to copy Audi and the front inlet does not look good at all without the fangs. I think they took a step backwards with the front but the rims are nice, big improvement over the current 19's which personally I do not like.

Just happened to type in 370Z on YouTube while ago. They show this same car out being driven. For me, having had my 10' since this past Fall, i'm pleasantly pleased with the small improvements Nissan is adding to our cars. Kind of a neat color, but am afraid after looking at that in my driveway for about a week I'd be tired of it.
One comment I'd like to make about the new car is, when I look at the side shot, all I see is the goofy door handle. Would have figured they'd have figured out some way to make that "disappear" (less visual statement) into the side of the car.
I also agree with the loss of the front fangs, but do like the idea of having DDLs.
Anyone hear if they've decided to add sound-deadening material to the doors and rear trunk area? Those are the changes which would make me sell mine for a new one.
Other than that, it's also extremely satisfying to see Nissan has left the basic design concept alone. These are beautiful vehicles...

I think that I still like the 2009-12 models better.

Adding sound deadener to you car is not that expensive and not that hard if you have any DIY skills. Check out the "Cabin Noise" thread in the "General Discussions" forum. It's a long thread but to net it out, a $130 of dynamat (only 20 pounds) makes a big difference in noise reduction.

Did the Sentra design team draw the plans for this up? The nose is way too conservative for me. I have a 2010 S/T and I really like the aggressive look of the nose. I bought the car because the car is a blast to drive AND looks fast. I live in a town loaded with Ferrari's and Maserati's and I have to say the car stands out and turns heads everywhere I go. Nissan should be taking the design in the oppisite direction and make it look more aggressive.

On a posative note it looks like they blacked out the info instrument cluster.
