    Some second thoughts. Debadge the trunk, whatever the fuck they thought was a good location for the fairlady emblem. And replace the grill, actually the whole front bumper .... and it'll look nice again.

    Typical prototype, the production version will be smoothed over here and there. But the off the shelf 350z bumper they slapped on the front does seem pretty lazy

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Overall I don’t mind it. Front end is meh, really like the rear. Could have taken some inspiration from the 300zx for the front maybe? Idk.

    Either way I won’t buy one; agree that Nissan is the Chrysler of japan.

    You basically only buy one if you don't get a fuck about what car you drive, or can't get approved anywhere else...

    Incoherent is a good way to describe this... Its like they tried to take the "greatest hits" of the past 50 years of Z cars and slam it into a car. Design language doesn't really work that way.

    I like the throwback badge lol. pointed nose also a throw back to the z's of past. Like the black roof as well. Will look great with tint and a contrasting color for the body.

    If they can get that engine into an affordable package.. Could be a nice alternative to the mustang or camaro. Count me in for the competition!

    I actually like the clean lines and lack of fake scoops and vents but what's up with the Domo-kun front end? A perfectly rectangular grill just doesn't look right.

    Back looks terrible, reminds me of prius. It needs wing badly but not even sure that would help.

    I like the rear, reminds me of the 300zx a bit. Here's some comparisons with the 240z:

    That front end is just a gaping hole of ugly that ruins it completely. I guess that's why I don't like the 350/370 either, they both look like a squashed Volkswagen Beatle.

    Looks like they asked Aston Martin for tips on making their headlights look like trash.

    That said the whole thing is terribad

    i think small changes to the shape of that front grill would make it look much better. The side profile is nice and looks like the interior is going to be great.

    So this thing is just a skin job. The whole thing is still based on a "modified" FM platform.

    Hate it. Absolutely a design disaster imo.

    Headlights are an abnormal shape for zero apparent reason and from some angles looks like baggy eyes.
    Front grille looks dreamed up by that guy who was on here years ago with aspirations to rebody his z32. In fact, he had more design sense than just plunking down a rectangle.
    Side profile looks pretty good and while the silver strip along the back up to the windows is kind of out of place, it at least gives some character. Lower sill area is sharp and the c pillar design still looks distinctive. So distinctive that you can't forget it is built on a really old platform.
    Roof treatment looks nice.
    Rear light (black) bar is too simple a shape and doesn't have enough presence. Needs to use more real estate - it just looks too thin for the car's hunkered stance.

    Nissan had an opportunity to really hit this one out of the park and show the world they aren't irrelevant anymore. They could have really honed in on the omlove people still have for the 240 and 260. This reveal should have been a statement as a return to form. Well, it IS a statement.

    "Nissan is done trying".

    This is their white flag model. Get them while they last.
