I've seen a few out here in NJ already. A silver, orange, red (i think, my memory is going in my old age). Also, i got the new issue of Car & Driver and they have an article (I didnt read it yet, just looked at the picktures) on the G35 coupe. It looks really nice, but I like the full size version of the G35. But the coupe very very nice looking.

I like the Z, but then I always liked the Z cars. The guy that bought the 350Z with the 00001 production number lives up hear in Washington. He owns a Nissan dealership and is going to put the 350Z in the show room next to an old 280Z that he has. Plus a big chunk of the money from the auction went to charity I believe.

There's an excellent chance that the new Z will never have turbos, because the new GT-R will most likely have a VQ30DETT, at least in some markets; they are already testing this in some JGTC R34 GT-Rs. And it wouldn't make sense (sorry for thinking like a marketing guy here) to have your $35k sports car have the same motor as your $60k (or thereabouts) supercar. Who would buy GT-Rs then?

Rob, from what I know, all of the 350Z models are under 30 grand, except for the Track model. They slap on some Ray's wheels, Brembos, and some other crap for the extra money.

i think that they are just trying to sell more cars... if you can sell a Z to some snobby old people by calling it an infiniti ten thats what theyll do... same car... larger market... i think id actually go for the infiniti... same price and a little less chance of othe young guys having it.
