That picture shows promise...Finally, a silver-gray color!
I've been waiting for Nissan to offer one of those!

If you're talking about the long silver one it's the Infiniti Essence Concept from a few years ago. It's probably my favorite sportscar design in recent history. Not that I'd be able to afford it but it is sexy as hell!

Nothing against Nissan in particular, but as soon as a CEO of a major corporation starts whining about "profits weren't quite as good as they would have liked blah blah" , I shut down.
Like, dude, we get it: the shareholders couldn't make their yacht payments and the new GT-R will have too much plastic... wahh wahh wahh. Now show us the ******* Z already The idX will make for a nice potential twins fighter. Yippie skip. All I can say is, given how out of the blue Toyota's revealing of the FT-1 was, we might as well just stop getting excited until there's something officially presented.

Maybe (just maybe) Nissan really does not know what it wants to do with the Z. Think about the scenario if they had shown a concept at the Detroit show. Would it have been overshadowed by the "Supra" FT-1 and the new Z06? Probably so, unless it was a killer design. After an impromptu conversation with a Nissan exec in Nashville last June my hunch is that they don't know where to take the Z. My vote is go ahead and make the fugly IDX for the low end and give the Z more power and keep it in the $30's and $40's.

If I ever see an IDx in a parking lot I'm gonna take a dump on the hood. To me it looks like a big toilet.
It better blow the FRS out of the water driving/performance wise because it is nowhere near the FRS in terms of looks. my |

Holy cow, the new z06 is a monster. If it is anywhere close to the current z06 price, it's an amazing deal.

Lol if the c6 z06 can get you in jail for life if you briefly go WOT, the c7 just doesn't make sense anymore, way too much power for the street, supercharged engine for the track? Not sure how efficient that will be compared to the N/A LSx.
