370 rev match technology - I shall eat my words

[tomtom]

As some may or may not remember, when we had a thread about the new 370z i had a bitch about the rev-match technology of their gear box, saying from a driving purest perspective that it was a stupid and was a disgusting piece of work.

Well, I just saw it in action on Best motoring and I must say, it looked so smooth and excellent that I will now eat my words.

Coupled with the fact that you can turn it on and off, I am now 100% won over

It also looks fantastic in white.

Absolutely totally agree and I was all for it in the other thread can't understand all the knockers of this sort of thing, their loss I say

It's the same with the automated manuals which have this function, after having driven one - I LOVE IT !!!! only thing is you can't switch it off 'permanantly' but in the car I drove it's active only in sports mode...

sounds like a case of a "dont argue until you know what you're talking about" sort of thing..

And a very nice looking and highly featuerd, very good quality interior...

You know you want one, go for it

They should be on display at the coming Melb auto show John

[JohnBu]

yeah I would like.

I hope the interior is better than Nissan's past efforts.

i'm blowing $20k on a european holiday in April so there's the deposit gone..

Interior is DEFINITELY better - seen numerous 1st hand write ups on US forums where the 370Z has already hit the showrooms and the streets

Don't worry about the deposit, just grab one and pay it all off over 60 months and then update...

Seriously though, just wait till they're in Nissan showrooms and see if you can strike a bargain, they're all struggling ATM, I reckon after the initial buy up, they'll struggle to sell anymore so there's a good chance to get a good price discount...

I like the look of the 370Z . And the seem pretty quick in the clip. Nissan is back with Preformance cars . Its about time.

They certainly are back here in Aust. in a big way...both GT-R and Z series coupes available from Nissan Aust. showrooms is just fantastic !

Their line up with the 'Infiniti' brand has always provided performance options for other car markets around the World, but they never introduced it in Aust.

It's all good for people here wanting to acquire these types of vehicle

[DirtyHarry]

looking at the official photos..the car looks pretty good.
