theking, what do you think about the new z

[ProudLao]

Man, I miss my 1973 240z.

Initial impression:

Exterior- Not much improvement from the last gen
Interior- Better than the last gen
Performance- Better than the last gen
Price- Obviously will cost more

Initial verdict: Nissan made some nice updates on the Z overall

The Z has a cult following since the 240 days so happy 50th anniversary  !

Yeah I’ve noticed that about fans of the Z. I’m one of them but I will not pay that price for a sport car in MN lol.

I’m not really into this new z at all.

[DuMa]

They waited 12 freaking years for a make over eh?

The front end needs some curves.  Too much square will make that vehicle to look like a tesla truck that looks like a mine craft, cartoonish vehicle. 

The back end is ugly.  It is supposed to look like a fairlady. 

This is just a prototype so what will come out for mass production may not look exactly like this one.  I think they will hear them critics before making changes to appeases the crowd but like always, it will take time for the world to accept any new model that is out.  One new design that killed the car is the acrua integra.  It died and looks like a chevy cavalier

I get the idea of keeping the Z signature looks but all it did was taking the older look, puts some aftermarket stuff to it so it can look more modern.  I think it should go with a new design instead of trying to make it look like an older z model with some flares. 

Good ups that it will be manual and with that, expect the supra will come out with a manual as well to compete. 

You want to know what this new Z reminds me off?  A freaking Austin martin vantage.

As far as looks go, I think Nissan could've done better as I don't see much improvement from the last gen but then again, looks is subjective..

Duma, the photo is too small, can't make anything out of it..

[theking]

Oh yeah, it's gotta have the third pedal or it's not a real sports car IMO  :

[theking]

This guy was in San Jose, CA talking about how everyone wants to buy his Z.. :

Yeah, they did. I think the body of the 300 looks way better now that I see it.

[Mr_Mechanic]

Not that it matters, but IMO, man those/there current cars are ugly.  I feel as those car makers what to keep up with the futuristic car vibe but the future is too fast for them.  Bring back the 80's man.  I'll gladly pay. 

[theking]

Agree with the new "looks" point to some degree..especi ally with this monstrosity with it's embarrassing broken windows and all.. but then again, it's all subjective.. :

[ProudLao]

That is just plain ugly lol

[theking]

Yeah, they did. I think the body of the 300 looks way better now that I see it.

Which 300Z gen? This gen:



Or this gen?  :




Both look nice for their respected era IMO..
