I really like the styling of the Nismo (know that looks are subjective) and the color they chose is really nice as well since it has those blue undertones. Like others have said - I really wish Nissan would have said 'F it' - lets build this one to go out with a bang and give the enthusiasts what they all wanted as well as punch that Supra in the mouth with under promising and over delivering on the the new Z; unfortunately this looks like it will be a body kit, seats and a different tune to justify the higher price tag.
As for the it being auto only - not to sound like an elitist - but that was when I tapped out on it - love the color and everything but I'm sure there is nothing on that Nismo that would justify an 'auto only' type of car.
Maybe we expected too much from Nissan when the new Z was being released - before it was released - we all thought - this would be a car that would look to give the car enthusiast what they want - twins, a great looking body along with being able to compete toe to toe with the Supra and not cost an arm and a leg - unfortunately not only did this car disappoint when comparing it to the Supra and other competitors but they really 'screwed the pooch' on delivering the car to the masses - heck I think even the Supra released their manual before most got their hands on a manual Z.
