I've yet to ever hear: "Wow, that car looks amazing, but those Door Handles!! DOPE!!!"

I'm guessing they did a last minute design change somewhere in the process and some compromise was made. Problem is that it's one of those once you SEE it, it just jumps out...

Overall it's "less bad" than the Silver / "Please NOTICE ME" door handles on 350z/370z

Honestly, I'd rather have those door handles on my 370z, than what's currently on it right now.

Between the 2, the new z door handles look better for sure.
But the fuel cover yikes.

I'll be in my bunk!

Hey, just nice to have some adult conversation about the door handles.

I remember a local newspaper review of the 350Z door handles many years ago. The guy said they were the coolest handles ever. I'm not sure I would have gone that far, but I agreed they were super cool. For me, same goes for the 370Z.

You guys seem to want boring. Shifting comparisons, the one huge downside to buying a Lamborghini Huracan vs an Aventador is the doors and handles. I think a Huracan is the better looking car, but the fact that it doesn't haven't scissor doors is a definite bummer.

To me, the 350 and 370 handles make them really unique. Losing those handles would be a step backwards, not an improvement.

Another take. Anyone who thinks the new Z wheels looks better than any Gen 370 sport wheels is out of their mind. The 370 Sport wheels are just about the best looking stock wheels on any car of all time. They kick any Ferrari wheels butt. Flame on....

I like the door handles. Though the 2016 colour is a little dated. I'm going to colour match mine. The new handles are okay too. But not interesting.

As for the wheels I like them.
The later model sport wheels are the Z's worst wheels imo. The v2 nismo wheels are great. V1 nismo I never liked. The 18inch base model wheels I also like quite a bit. The early model sport wheels also do nothing for me.

I like the new wheels but they need to be lighter in color. My taste is directly opposite of the above quote with respect to the 370Z wheels. I like the 2018-20 sport wheels and the V1 NISMO wheels. Being old-school, shiny metallic wheels helped define a sports car back in the day. Dark wheels just don't cut it.

I'll buy a 2 yr old Z in 2024 with 12k miles for 30k US. By then all this inventory/supply mess will be sorted out and dealers will be giving cars away.
And if I'm wrong, I'll just keep driving my 370z.

Unfortunately, I'm usually wrong.

Twins? Sorry for my ignorance. What cars are referred to as twins? Subaru and Toyota?
