This is a joke right?

That's simply a taped up 350.
No, it's a 370Z. It has the wheels, windows, rounded butt, catfish mouth, etc. of the 370Z. It also looks shorter. And if you look closely, you'll see black tape over the "lightning bolts" edges of the headlights and tailights, which (intentionally) makes them look like old 350Z lights.

You mean like the "glass tranny" made by an American company? Why make that mistake twice, right?

Yes, the dual-clutch, sequential transmission with shifts faster than a blink of your eyes, owns you on a race track.

I have to agree that the tape makes the head and tail lamps look better. Thats my only gripe though, otherwise great car.

Wow, it looks a lot better than the 350 - still not sure about the roof, but I actually like the lights. I guess the spoiler is standard now?

With the shorter rear end I believe aerodynamics neccesitates a rear spoiler, ala the Audi TT and pop up on 911s. I think it still needs tape, but it is better than the 350.

I like it better than I expected I would, but would still prefer more conventionally shaped lights.

Wow, those real world pics looks so much better than Nissan's official ones.
