A greatly simplified 350Z lineup for 2007 suggests that a major redesign may not be far off. For now, the coupe comes in just one variant -- GT. The good news is, the '07 is the most powerful Zed yet. The 3.5-litre VQ35HR V6 now generates 306 hp (six more than last year) and 268 lb-ft of torque. The 350Z has wonderfully toss-able handling on the track, yet is stable and forgiving on the road. There's nothing wrong with 0-100 km/h in about six seconds, though we wish the engine sounded less boorish. For all its hard-core performance talents, the Zed is also a practical daily driver, with room for two large adults and their golf bags.
Bang for the buck, styling, practicality
No longer the Next Big Thing
