This thing, to me, looks so amazing. It has the beautiful curves of a Porsche. I am really debating on getting one of these and making my 5 the daily driver to leave the Z in the garage for sunny days. Any of you drive this car yet? I saw one at a stoplight next to me and it was very intimidating. The exhaust tone was nice for a 6, the angles were gorgeous and it has a beautiful stance. Short body but wide and sporty like a Porsche. I really almost thought it was one when I first saw it from a distance. Truly a beautiful design for a "Nissan" and at a price I couldn't believe. The sticker for a Sport, Touring model 370z loaded was $39k OTD. Pretty much the same price as the 350HP nismo version but without the same body kit. I honestly prefer the non-nismo just because it has many more creature comforts inside.

Any of you impressed with this car?

Granted it's a nice car, but I would get a E46 M3 as a weekend car.

And that is really the ONLY problem with it. We have the cars we have because a "nice" car wasn't good enough. The 370z IS a nice car, capable, and reliable.

I fail to grasp the context of your post. Do you mean its nice and thats the problem with it? Its just "nice" and not "amazing"? Boring, standard, not really anything special, etc? It does not compute! hehe

That is exactly the point, "nice" is a very bland term. There are many "nice" cars, few exceptional cars.

The E46 M3 is exceptional

I would consider it the last true "M" produced by BMW.

That is what I meant Marc, you are correct, the E46 IS an exceptional car. I'd still love an E30 M3 myself, that car was pure driving pleasure
