This thing is less than a 370 in every way except HP and an available 9 spat.

Looks wise its 3 steps backwards from a 370. Its almost ugly to me. The design goal was obviously a 5 car mix up but it fails. It looks like a 370Z with a new bottom, and not a good one. The black roof thing is a cover up to hide the 370 same top. It's trying to take the old 370 and make it Jag and Aston Martin, but completely fails. Or at least 90% fail.

I'm glad Nissan tried. But they need to get their stuff in order. This effort is embarrassing to me. I predict this car will be a big huge sales flop.

Nissan needs a new design and project management team. Their recent offerings suck.

Yes I feel the same overall and did post my assessment. I was going to test it but now after ordering the new M240i, I will keep my Supra and move on. They are appealing to enthusiasts with the manual being so broadly focused and that is ok, yet car is much more than a 'gearbox'.

It is not appealing enough for me to consider, and like you I feel the 370Z is a much more original and appealing design to me. One Z fan. I think its difficult to predict what the sales success will be.
