As fate would have it, I was behind (briefly) a brand new Maxima this afternoon on the 118 westbound and I realized the tail lights are also quite odd. From behind they look like they were pulled off of some other car and slapped onto the Maxima either upside down or on the wrong side (left vs. right) of the car. Also the passenger compartment of the Maxima looked like a bubble on top of the car. VERY strange!

lol.. yea its kind crazy.. but nissan is going in this style for all there cars... the new 370z will have the same type of lights...
Everything about the 370Z is sounding good. Especially the rumors that it will be much lighter than the current Z.
Please Nissan don't ruin it with those aweful headlights.

I've seen pictures of the new 370Z somewhere around the NET... and it has similar looking headlights. I'll try to find them again and post the pictures or at least a link.
From what I have read, the design is very similar to the current Z.

Yeah, I have seen the video of the test mule. But everything is covered up.

YES IT`S VERY CLOSE IN LOOKS.. BUT YES THE LIGHTS WILL BE SIMILER TO THE ONE`S ON THE MAX.. THE CAR WILL BE LIGHTER... and the car will have 3.7 LITER ENGINE. 352hp they say... i saw the car in real life in vegas... when i was traning for the GTR.... looks good in person..... it will be about 200 pounds lighter... going to make a big diff....
