The 370 is already old as the hills and severely out of date, considering it dates back to the 350Z of 2002. So it's nearly 20 years old and drives like it.

But Nissan is in severe financial do-do, so expecting anything new is asking a bit much.

But the engine looks like a good upgrade from the NA V6 in the 370. It really needed a turbo to bring the power levels up to current specs.
We all have short memories, how many times did the Falcon get bagged for an "old platform" yet year on year it improved. Naturally there is a limit but you dont need a full redesign to make a good car.

370Z is not that much slower than a 5.0L mustang, the difference would come down to the driver and Nissan fit and finish is much better.

Either way if it has trademarks in the styling like the 240 and will go quicker than a 370 then it cant really be a bad thing.

Poor ol GM fans, what do they have to look forward too?
