I'll wait for the 2018 model hoping to get the kinks out of the way.

I don't try to fall in love with concepts, since they're rarely as-is when launched, but this particular concept, hate to say it, looks ugly and I'm not sure should be part of the Z family. It really does look like an Aston redone by a high school graphics department. Is that a Nike swoosh I see in the door? Diesel in the US doesn't make sense. And hybrid? Being an apartment-dweller, that doesn't impress me at all.

If you want to discuss sexy concepts, try the new Subaru WRX-cum-Evo concept. Now *that* is smexy.

i highly doubt that based on the displacement of the engine alone. All I'm saying is that i'll take either as long as it has F.i.

Ha ha ha... The Z34 still has kinks and it's almost over for it.

I wouldn't give that rendering any thought on how it will actually look. Looks like it's just wishful thinking from someone at GT channel. Heck, I made my own a few months back, lol.

With the exception of the rear window. I think the rendering looks pretty close to what the design execs described what they are looking to accomplish. I think its a translation of what may come?

We're definitely getting the elongated hood.

Would love to see those rear haunches on the real Z.

I'm saying the main thing the new z needs is to shed a few hundred pounds I've seen you mention that before, I hope they can.

Dont worry about the weight part. That was the first thing Nissan guaranteed us. I'm sure we'll be in the 2,900-3,000 lb range when the next Z comes out.
