    Disappointed to hear its not a new chassis.

    When is genesis coming out with a sports car?

    Genesis sports car? Probably Ferrari money based on how they price the other Hyundai’s.

    Ouch not a good look. Basically a refresh of a 20 year old design

    Maybe people will grow into it like the Tesla Cyber Truck with it's sharp lines and simplistic design? well, not happening for me BUT I can't complain with any release of a RWD stick shift sports car. It will still get me excited to see these on the road along with any other 2 door sports cars. Before you know it, most vehicles on the road will be driverless on-demand rideshares. (hope it won't happen in my lifetime) haha.

    The 370z isn't 20 years old.
    I don't think it's that weird for a Z look like a Z. And, I prefer this design mentality over the "all new Chevy Impala" that looked/looks the square root of zero like any Impala or the Malibu that looks like the most generic car ever.

    I thought all the press indicated the Z was dead, so this thing surprises me. I also would've expected more spaceship and less Datsun. Who knows what the final product will look like, I guess.

    Same platform was used for the 350z.

    Definitely the Chrysler of Japan

    What does that mean, exactly? The video seemed to allege "the same chassis" didn't it? Then it proceeded to show many things on the body that were very similar.
    So... Platform = body = chassis now?

    Without having a physical car to examine, I'm not sure it's fair to make these claims.
    I suspect that the Z was chopped (and there's plenty of evidence it was dead) and then some dumb exec decided to revive it at the 11th hour and gave designers 72hr to glue parts into the 370z until it looked like "a new Z". Like one of those terrible Iron Chef shows but for cars, like that one they did in Britain about the "new DeLorean" that I can't remember the name of.

    The key questions remain. If this is still a prototype, how the fuck do they think it'll be on the road before 2024. How different will the real car look? Will this project still move ahead?

    For carshte body, and chassis are synonymous because they are all unibody designs. Well maybe not platform as I think they can be altered for various wheelbases, but generally the change is minimal. BMW CLAR is an example of a modular platform.


    If it won't be released until 2024 maybe they are working on a new design, but you'd think they would be explicit about that

    It means this new Z is a 370Z with revised sheet metal and interior bits. If you actually take time to read the Motor Trend article where they go photo to photo you can see the new Z is in fact the old Z right down to the door handles and interior vents.

    They don't have $. It's just a reskin. I kinda clue in to it when I see some elements in the interior which are identical.

    If anything, this new car is making the bare bone $30K 370Z more attractive.

    I like my s30, i've already turned down a straight-up trade for a 370z. I expect that my reaction won't change for this new car either.

    It’s slowly growing on me.

    Yes it’s the old chassis, but that’s okay for now.

    Unfortunately two seat sports cars just don’t make sense anymore. They should, but don’t.

    The bright side is it’ll weigh somewhere in the 3250-3400 range. Base car is roughly 3250, and nismo at 3400.

    The nismo 370Z has some of the best seats.

    Doug DeMuro did a review, he’s predicting Supra money for this, if that’s true I feel it’s a huge mistake from Nissan and won’t sell

    Rationally, I would agree with you. But Nissan fans buy that kind of trash every day.

    Given it's almost a carbon copy of current car that has a NA 332HP mill for $30K, how up market can a, really just a mmc model fetch?

    At best they can start a detune 300HP one at $40K-$50K and a 400HP one for $50-$60K. Tough to hit $70K with what's shown. Unless they keep throwing $13-$15K on the hood to move them like Q60.
