I am excited about the new Z but there are a couple of issues that are important to me. Firstly, judging by the pictures the new Z has very similar gauge "pods" and dash styling as the new Altima, which I cannot stand. I realize that this is something I'll have to see for myself in person but right now pictures are all I've got to go buy. And secondly, the Z has no rear seat whereas the G35-C is a 2+2.
As for the weight issue, correct me if I'm wrong, but they are estimating ~3200lbs for the new Z, which is only 200lbs less than the G35 sedan. I am willing to accept a bit more weight as a tradeoff for some luxury and utility. Yes, this old man needs his pampering.
