[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

If this body kit comes into existence, I'll re-consider my thoughts on picking a Z34.5 up.

This thing is less than a 370 in every way except HP and an available 9 spat.

Looks wise its 3 steps backwards from a 370. Its almost ugly to me. The design goal was obviously a 5 car mix up but it fails. It looks like a 370Z with a new bottom, and not a good one. The black roof thing is a cover up to hide the 370 same top. It's trying to take the old 370 and make it Jag and Aston Martin, but completely fails. Or at least 90% fail.

I'm glad Nissan tried. But they need to get their stuff in order. This effort is embarrassing to me. I predict this car will be a big huge sales flop.

Nissan needs a new design and project management team. Their recent offerings suck.

How it flares back from the side, then goes up and over the exhaust pipes. I'm not sure how I've not noticed it until now. Perhaps its just this lighting or angle in this picture, but as it is here is really looks bad, IMO.

And when we saw it on the white a few days ago with the splash guards. Ugh. Puke city.

I rarely say this on the 370Z forums, because I am here to learn about the little brother of my Infiniti and not share my opinion of the 370Z, but, I gotta say the 370Z looks like total crap to me. Just garbage in comparison to a Z32, TBH.

When the 350Z came out I was so mad about Ghosn's obvious French influence on Nissans, and the 370Z was just the worst manifestation of that. Lobster claw tail/headlights, bulbous, stupid fangs, awkward proportions and stupid looking door handles.



I don't mean to sound like a jerk to people who like the 370Z, but to me, the new Z is a million times better looking than the 370Z. I just gotta counterpoint your criticisms of the new Z. No disrespect!

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time the New Z's Launch Control has been filmed in action.

I'll reserve my final opinions when I see it in person.

When the new Tundra came out, many like myself were "disappointed" in it. Now I want to buy one!
