2007 Nissan 350Z Review
This sporty car gets more power and subtle exterior styling changes for 2007. The 350Z seats two and comes as a hatchback coupe and a convertible. Coupe models are called base, Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring. Convertibles come in Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring trims. All models have a 306-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine. It replaces a pair of 3.5-liter V6 engines of 287 and 300 hp. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on all. A 5-speed automatic is available on Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring models. All models have revised front-end appearance. Convertibles have a power fabric top with heated glass rear window. ABS is standard. Traction control is standard on all but the base coupe. An antiskid system is standard on all convertibles and Grand Touring coupes, as well as Touring coupes with manual transmission. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are optional on coupes.

News
We've not heard anything yet about future 350Zs, but keep checking back with us for late-breaking news.

On a related front, Nissan will launch a true flagship sports car come 2009 with a new version of its racy Skyline GT-R. An all-wheel-drive coupe with a turbocharged V6, the GT-R has seen several iterations from its 1989 debut through 2003, but has never officially been sold here. The new model coming to America features aggressive styling, an expected 450 hp, and a rumored $60,000 price tag. Long a performance icon in Europe and Japan, the GT-R is well-known among younger U.S. enthusiasts from video racing games and an appearance in the movie "The Fast and The Furious." It will be Nissan's answer to an expected high-power Lexus sports coupe on tap for 2008-09--not to mention various high-end German hot rods available now.
