Hiya
I was just reading an article in the motoring section of my local newspaper. It seems Nissan will be releasing a new version of their 350Z, a convertible version over here this month!
Most of the car is still the same as the other hardtop versions...still the 3.5i V6 with 206kw (~280hp). The soft-top is electric and it takes around 20 seconds to go down/up. This version weighs 85kg more than the hardtop. It still has the 6 speed manual and 5 speed Auto with sequential shift. (coolest thing!)
The interior looks awesome I think...heated leather and a 3 gauge cluster showing oil pressure, volt meter and trip comp. The seats feature a cool design with part of the sides molded in a fashion which allows you to shift gear more comfortably.
I don't know how good the 350Z is doing over in the States, but apparently here in Aus it's going beyond Nissan's expectations. They planned on selling 800 cars since it's launch in Feb this year, but so far they are up to 1270 being sold...quite good.
Hopefully it's success along with Mazda's RX8, will pursuade and convince Toyota to move on with the production of a new Supra in the future...the three companies have followed eachother around in the past couple of decades...only Toyota needs to respond now...
