Anyone else think that looks worse somehow or is it just me? I don't hate the original proto all black grill as much as I did when I first saw it. This however is somehow on another level of ugly with the paint matched section.

Patents filed for the AU. Keep in mind the US spec could be slightly different as regulations are quite the same. show what appears to be the production model of the new Z. Basically exactly like proto. Few differences I noticed is the in the front grille you can a what looks like a cruise control radar, along with some sensors at the front and rear (possibly blind spot monitor sensors), keyhole for the trunk, keyhole and lock/unlock button for the drivers side door, and rear side markers. If I missed anything feel free to add.

EDIT: I could be wrong, but I just noticed after looking at the front again it looks like they added some kind of a body panel behind the grille to hide the big rectangle look!

Ironically these renders can also make the car more attractive in the sense they reveal the cuts more clearly.

It does look longer vs. stubby, and maybe people who saw the car in person already saw it this way.

Of course that rendering looks worse. There's NO chance Nissan would do that paint selection at all. The grill will look similar to the proto, and the piece you see in that patent image is probably related to aero/cooling not design.

Nissan needs to get this thing out quick or at least some new info. This car excitement died weeks after the proto was shown due to lack of further info coming out. Come on Nissan, give us some more details to keep the interest alive.

the are still sending it around the states. It's popping up on youtube channels quite a bit.

There are patent drawings out there that show the production car so we are getting close.

I can't wait to see the final production details, especially which AT they will utilize (I'll be getting the 6MT though) and the colors offered. Also very curious what name they'll give it, I've been adamantly saying they won't call it "400" so I hope I am right.

I have been looking at the new 2021 Armada to replace my old Titan, but I gotta say the Armada has a very limited range of colors that don't appeal to me. Hope this doesn't occur with the new Z.

Let's see, I think the trees in that Nissan Z video indicate a fall release.

Also, no love for the Z31! Blasphemous!

Who wants a new Pathfinder?

Did Nissan return it to it's body on frame roots??

JARblue · 01-18-2021, 03:06 PM

it needs a bigger roof spoiler

NissanFreak81 · 01-18-2021, 04:12 PM

Hope the carbon fiber diffuser and side skirts are a option as it looks good.

Andaesthetics · 01-21-2021, 04:08 PM

Does anyone else prefer the bottom lip blacked out or is it just me? Helps show off those sharp "fangs" better and looks more aggressive imo.
