I'm in america and the New 350Z is everywhere and I've never seen so many Hummers in my life - driven by stupid blondes
But really in the 1st Hour of landing I saw 9 Hummers and I just keep seeing them!
Bloody Great Huge Things!

GTI,
I`ve been working in Calgary for 5 months now and it`s the same up here. Loads of 350z`s. Check out an Infinity G35 coupe if you can. It, along with the G35 saloon really would do well in the UK I think.

Those Nissan Murano things look OK for a small SUV type thing too. Plus they`ve got a 3.5 V6 with CVT so go well too.

Saw a 350Z parked up here in Northampton the other day. I soooooooo wanted to like this car. But...on looks (you could have a very different opinion after driving I know) I really didn't feel it was THAT special. Quite conservative styling infact. Definatley not head turning unless your into cars and know how rare they are at the mo. The insides looked, from what I could see (I made my girl park up so I could take a look!) quite nice but for sure not upto the Standard of an Audi TT. Seen pictures of the car with a Nismo bodykit and thats a different matter, but base model?...Naaa.

Have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the 350 myself. The Nismo kit is a must, really makes a huge difference, and I'm not a big fan of the interior though they say they are still working on it for the UK market. I warmed to it more when I saw it at Goodwood, but its still got one ugly mother of an *** Fortunately told my mate I'll only see it from the front - in my rear view - so I won't have to put up with that aspect of it!

Saw a H2 hummer the other day. The Range Rover next to it was totally dwarfed in comparison. These things are about a width and a half the size of the Range Rover.
Any RX8's out in the States yet?

Not seen an RX8 in Calgary yet but local Mazda Garages are advertising them for $38,000, that`s about 17,300 sterling!
