First...you like what you like and I like what I like...that is the purpose of this forum.

There is a local Nissan dealership around the corner from my house. I have been checking for a few months to see if they had gotten a new Z...but they had not. Yesterday I decided to take a walk and to my surprise there was one that had just come off the truck. The dealership was closed so I took my time and really looked at it.

I had seen photos online but to see one in person.....I don't like it. It looks like the 350Z. Its like Nissan just decided to go back instead of going forward. I'm sure they could have put those lights some place else instead of where they did. Its like someone said.."Hey just put them like we did the 350...they won't say anything." The car just doesn't look as aggressive as it had in previous years. And the wheels are kind of like they took a picture of the previous wheels in motion and made them from that image. I have a 2009 and I think it looks better and not because its my car.

I sometimes don't understand Nissan. They seem to have a history of doing weird marketing. Look at the Maxima and the Altima. I thought the Maxima is their flagship but they treat it like a step child. I guess I can say that about the Z in some ways as you rarely see a Z commercial.

Then they bring out the Altima to look very close to the Maxima.

I know that they sell a lot more Altimas and they have to promote it.....

There a thousands of Z lovers out there.....Nissan why don't you talk to them....some of them have some good ideas if you would listen. It would make you more money and give you happier customers.
