I have been following the development and many changes of the new z for over a year now. Originally, I was very depressed by the overall design of the z. However, the latest and final version are just fantastic! The powerplant is awesome, the body styling has come a LONG way from a year ago, and the pricepoint is just where they said it would be. I ordered mine over 9 months ago hoping Nissan would do the "right" thing with the body as it got closer to production...and they did!! I noticed one of the club members said he preferred some other vehicles to the Z (ie. s2000...), well, if you wait until August when I get my Z, I will tell you which one is better, as I have a 2000 Honda S-2000 in storage for the winter now. The Honda is one HECKUVA car, and it will take quite an initial impression to vote for the Z over it, but let's see... The picture of the gold Z many people are using in their posts is not the final version. In fact, that picture is about a year old. 240znut
