IMO, pretty boring.
Looks much identical to PROTO.
The hated front grille/ opening, not changed save for some egg-crate insert.
Can see the aftermarket guys on this as we speak. A GTR style bar would look great
and lower the look of the front.
Overall, have to agree the Z is a bunch of old parts. Nothing said about the twin
turbo engine. At 40k selling price to start, seems to me a tough sell.
I am just not blown out on the total package. At least not in the way when I saw the
rebirth Z in 2002.

Well to keep cost down and nissan can't afford to build a whole new Z.
Hell if Toyota can't build a new supra without partnering up with BMW, no way in hell nissan have a chance. Basically its a body kit and I'm sure Toyota made their own performance mods to the BMW engine.
At least nissan is using most of their own recycled parts sort of speak for the most part. But other than the 3.0 tt engine and hopefully the auto trans will be good.
But the question is, has nissan improved on the 370z chassis for the updated Z?
I'll be in my bunk!
