But then I went to my local dealer today to check out a white 2016 Nismo and it is absolutely stunning in person.


Is it just me, or do other folks feel this way?

I understand what you mean. It's funny that those who disagree post photos that are touched up to appear better than the original.

The concept of seeing pictures online and in person are different. In person you get the the 3-D dimension that truly give perceptive of what's being viewed.

I sort of agree with you, but have managed to take some nice shots of my cosmetically stock 370z. They do look better in person, stock for stock

I agree with you. Looks much better in person than photo.

Most members' photos are photoshopped or altered by some fancy phone app/lens.
