I like it, inside and out. External appearance is about on par with the GTR, both of which I consider to be probably a 7.5/10.

Really? I have to say...I sat down in it being optimistic...I wasn't super impressed. It just seemed..."okay".

ok your wrong there. i challenge you to find a review of the car that DOESNT talk about how drastically improved the interior is.

To be honest, I don't know. I have 0 interest in the car. The sticker said ~38k, though...

funny story...I, too went with a friend. He really disliked everything GM...the minute he saw (and learned) about the Camaro, he just said "This is it". The only compliments he was willing to give the Nissan when we were in it, was that he liked the reclined seating position, and the push-button start....

well to be honest I'm surprised you didn't like it, i think your the first person Ive talked to who actually sat in the car and still retains 0 interest. However, i guess its just personal preference. I come from a mixed background... My dad had Corvette's and Z's growing up.

I come from a 350z myself, so i guess i can see and appreciate everything that was done to the car. But as greatly as the materials and quality was improved, the driving experience is supposed to be the real clincher with this car.

How can I be wrong Gatorblue it's my opinion I dont like the interior or the quality. Just like I probably wont love the quality in the Camaro, but at least the price point is cheaper so its more tolerable. So please dont tell me my opinion is wrong

Nah. I've never been interested in it. I'll never say it sucks or anything like that, though. It's just that:

#1, It's an import -- which puts it WAAAY down on my list, and
#2, I'm not in the market for a two-seater. If I were, I'd jump in a Corvette before that thing.

As for the interior...I've been in a 350z as well...what a Fisher-Price special! (sorry:() I see this interior as miles ahead of it's predecessor, but far from impressive, imo.

im not trying to cut your opinion, im just saying that when you claim the interior quality of materials hasnt been upgraded... thats a wrong or right matter. Your opinion is your opinion, but the materials have been upgraded.


As for imports vs. domestic, my opinion is being anti-import is JUST as bad as being anti-domestic. Either way its ignorance. If you dont like the car, you dont like the car. But if you dont like the car because its an import... thats wrong.
