Gold rush
Didn't take long for the marketing men to get their hands on the Nissan 370Z, did it? And look what they've done - painted it bright yellow and given it some naff graphics. It's called the 370Z Yellow (really?) and the paint job isn't the only extra.
Inside, you get all the bits and bobs from the top-whack GT spec, so that's black leather and suede, integrated satnav, plus some special ‘illuminated entry plates' and a set of branded mats. To round things off, the car rides on 19-inch forged alloys.
Nissan reckons the Yellow pays homage to its 370Z GT4 car. We're not so sure. Those graphics remind us of something Porsche might plaster down the flanks of a Carrera, or of something a chav might purchase from Halfords.
At least you can forget about the stickers once your inside. The 370Z is one of our favourite cars of the year so far, with its meaty, mechanical V6 and its brilliant synchro-rev gearbox.
The Yellow will be available from September and will cost £31,650 for a manual (that's the one to go for) or £33,050 for the auto. But be quick - only limited numbers will be available. Oh, and it's for the UK only, so apologies to international readers. It's ours. Sorry.

I also think that front number plate is too high and kinda wrecks the design.

I think that by law must be at a minimun height, would be a million times better in the lower part of the bumper...

Whatever about the naff graphics I still just don't like those lights.

Dr.Stig, that can't be true - the humble Citroen C3's plate sits right at the bottom - I think it's probably just easiest to mount it where they did. Sadly.

No minimum heights for reg plates in legislation; thousands of regulations to do with spacing, height, width of letters/numbers etc. Looks like its just an unfortunate sized gob on the front of a beautiful car which spoils the location of the reg plate.

I'd still rather have the 350z, but the model I prefer the most is a midnight blue 240z

I suppose it does look better on that (metallic) grey one, but at the end of the day it still looks best without a front plate at all. evilkeso, you mean like this? http://file039a.bebo.com/7/large/2008/11/18/20/8156482105a9450768386l.jpg

It looks a bit similiar to the nissan GT-R (from the front) and I guess the price is affordable .

@Mikaedo Oh yeah! But Nissan won't make something that sexy anymore. I love the Z car, my dad's old friend (car trader) had great cars for sale and trade back in the day and one of of them I fell in love with, a yellow 240z with a Fairlady Z badge. So damn hot and sexy, just like Megan Fox.

Never mind the car, I get totally turned off by those headlights. They're the new rage, you also find them on the new Prius a.o. : S Are there more who think those lights with little fishing hooks are cissy?

how about noone bothers buying this piece of tosh thats aimed at the yank market. Was a totally pointless car, even the 350 was worse than this. If your going to buy a nissan sports car, either go the whole hog and buy a Skyline or dont bother at all, just buy the more practical evoX or impreza (hawk not the hatch...bluegh)

FR offers ignificant performance shortfall versus insignificant savings. Buy the Cupra. Or better yet the Clio Cup.

Hmmm, I don't like the Carrera graphics down the side, but then, without that sticker I can't see any difference between this and just a yellow 370Z GT (that's a standard colour and those are standard wheels). Maybe they just did it to get up Porsche's chuff, in which case surely they should do it to the Nissan that definitely beats Porsche hands down (GT-R) rather than this, which is only better than a Cayman if you prefer an old-school FR coupe?
