Should THIS have been the 370z?...
 

...I just stumbled on this piece of inspired design by chance.

My God, I'd love this to be a Z car in the near future.

Why isn't this the 370z? (sits back and waits to be shot down!)

The rear looks very "911-ish". I'm not really a fan of the whole retro look on the front end. (ie. the new mustangs, challenger, etc...).

I love the way the 370z turned out. Just my opinion.

Wow, cool find! Very interesting concept design. The front looks a little disproportionately long (looking at the side view on the link you posted), but still, it's very cool looking. I like how the tailpipes are done. Although if Nissan actually did that, everyone would accuse them of just copying the Cayman.

that car has no front bumper! good luck passing crash testing lol

My Opinion: Too old school. I would never buy it. I like the current look. I want something more modern.

Old Datsun Concept. BTW What the hell happened to all the old Datsun Z concept pics?? Google image search use to be full of them, now they are all gone. Weird.

mmmmmmno.

I think that'd be cool to do to a 70's 240, but I like the new design a bit more.


HOWEVER, this is freaking awesome:

Yes I would take one. although I would prefer an updated 300ZX body style and Twin Turbo's

Yes and No on this one for me.
Front not so much.
Rear yes, but not the window.

All of these pics have been around for along time. Cool ideas but not in the cards. ;)

soo sexy

You converted your 2+2 to turbo? As far as I know, there were no U.S. 300zx's with 2+2 AND turbo.

Nice concepts, but too rétro and I'm happy for the final version of the 370z. I would have been happier if they managed to keep the weight even lower, but I think they are right when they say "we didn't want to make a new 350z, we wanted to make it better".

I like the rear view, and some of the design of the front, but not digging that profile. overall I like the 370 design better, but with some work that one could be good.
