The "mechanics" are nothing new and from previous models. The engine is from the Q60 Red Sport. The doors are identical to the 370Z. The car looks ugly in pictures, and uglier in person. I sat in one at a dealership and was not in the least impressed with it.
The car feels like Nissan scrambled at the 11th hour to produce something just to protect their market share.
When Nissan took a hiatus after the 300ZX, the 350Z was a success due to the time they took to really come out with an innovative product, while building anticipation. IMO, Nissan should have taken some time off after the 370Z and go back to the drawing board and start from scratch. Their timing is also bad, when inflation/borrowing costs are going up.
