I'll withhold any judgment on styling until we see the real thing, this is just a cobbled together pic for an article imo.

As far as them staying with an FM platform, it makes sense for a $$ saving perspective but it makes me a bit worried that it means verly little weight savings possibly and this car needs to shed an honest 100-200 lbs with similar power imo.

If it comes in around the same or a little lighter than the 370 and has 350-380 hp I'll probably replace our nismo with the next gen nismo

IF they address the biggest flaws the current car has: oil cooling, brake cooling, ice mode, fuel starve, lack of real lsd etc.

I hope since Nissan seems to be getting more serious about racing etc that the next Z won't need major aftermarket stuff to be truly trackable out of the box. fingers crossed.
