What does everyone think of the 350Z

I saw the 350 up close yesterday and it was really nice. I must admit I am impressed. I have not liked what Honda and Toyota have come up with of late but Nissan has certainly been doing well with its new cars.

I like the 350 from all angles except for the door handles which appear to be an after thought. The side flared panels are almost porsche like. If you guys havent seen it, you should check it out. The pictures and certainly not the TV ads do it justice.

Pity Mercedes hasnt come up with something similar.

Unhappy 350Z

Though I could not drive it, I saw 350Z in the Nissan dealer two weeks ago and got the 350Z key-ring for free (it was nice). I was closely able to compare it with my SLK230 and because of its quality in particular its interior (a bit like a SF-car for kids), I decided I wouldnft replace mine with it. Here in Japan, it costs a 10,000 US$ less than that of SLK230 so that I am sure that itfll get street credibility. Anyway, I didnft take it except for the key-ring. I prefer SLK styling and its appeal, of course, top-down style. It seems 350Z convertible will appear in the near future. In that case Ifll have a rethink on buying it
