I had thought that Nissan was divorcing the Z from the G/Q (lol) platform-wise.

This rendering may prove to be very close to what we see. The side profile is right in line with the silhouette we saw in the Jay Leno video.

The front end in the rendering pulls from current concepts Nissan has debuted, and it's interested to see that this render is pulling from Nissan's design language they have implemented with the Pathfinder.

It's also interesting to see that it is somewhat similar to Mazda's design language in the new CX-5, 6, and the 3 rendering I've seen (the headlights blending into the grill with the body lines).

Like the use of the G IPL wheels for the render. However, I hope they're not at all used in any form.

I will wait patiently. After I offload mine, 18 months should be enough time for me to rebound and purchanse another fun car, and then I can decide on a 2014 Nismo or this little bad boy. Hopefully they do the powertrain right. I would really like to see 400HP, though for that car it may be overkill.
