SEMA2004: Nissan Introduces 35th Anniversary 350Z
Arguably the most well known Japanese sports car, Nissan’s Z has long ago staked its claim amongst the isles of the automotive industry’s most important vehicles. Even Nissan will admit (happily) that the original 240Z was the vehicle that single-handedly put the company on the map in the United States. Now, 35 years after the introduction of the first 240Z, Nissan took to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas to introduce a lightly retuned version of the 350Z to celebrate the occasion.

General Motors officially took the wraps off its successor to the surprisingly popular Hummer H2 this week at the California Auto Show in Anaheim. The Orange County city home to such things as Mickey, Goofy, Angels, and Mighty Ducks welcomed an entirely different kind of beast to their convention center: the Hummer H3, the smallest Hummer to date. With gas prices ever-threatening to skyrocket and H2 sales all-but collapsing as its “fad period” passes, the new “baby Hummer” could not have come at a better time. And with all of the large SUVs seen lumbering around “the OC,” the debut location could not have been more appropriate.

Paris2004: All New Ford Focus
