There must be alot of cavities of empty space between the former 370Z frame and the new Z skin which has been pushed outward in many areas, resembling something like a double hull ship. In other words, you kinda have something like this going on: Last edited by viiv; 02-04-2022 at 02:28 AM. |

After seeing the videos...
Amazed how just changing the angle at which you see it changes the overall look of the car. Curious how this will positively or negatively affect real life viewing. Love the blue interior. Unfortunately if its like last time, its gonna cost ya $5k to get it. Like the second cup holder (not perfect but not horrible either). It being there is better than nothing. Prefer the old analog gages. I'm just not into all the glitz and multiple colors of video screens. This is a sports car, not a rocket ship. Prefer the old center console with storage (with aftermarket stereo in my car). They could have at least given the new screen a matte finish (ala KIA), not the distracting finger print showing high gloss glass look (ala Honda). Matte screens are far superior for viewing in bright sunlight conditions. I don't understand why so many manufacturers use the high gloss glass. Perhaps they like the bling look over practicality? The steering wheel is hideous. Absolutely one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Assume its the current "every Nissan car" wheel. But wow its atrocious. Anyone, like guys in this video, or magazine review guys etc, who says the interior is a major upgrade or major improvement, is just lying to themselves. Aka blowing smoke up their arses. Nissan made the dash and console into 2 video monitors, and made new (not as good looking as the old ones) center air vents. Then they added a butt ugly steering wheel. The rest is basically the same. Yep, its updated with more modern tech, but its NOT upgraded or improved. To each his own. Oh, and no mention of the new door handles in the video? None? Come on. There should at least be discussion. I'm sure there are people who love the new look, and vice versa. Me, I like the old ones MUCH better. The new ones are okay, but would have looked much better without that 2 piece look. That outside surround piece makes it look like an added on afterthought. If it were a tight 1 piece design then it would look slick. As is it looks muddled. Again, its not bad, but I prefer the 350 and 370 handles by a lot. They were unique to any other car. Now, not so much. Flame away..... Sent from my SM-A326U using Tapatalk

I'd prefer normal door handles, like my Q60 has. I don't understand why Nissan tried to keep and reinvent that odd door handle.
Oh, and about that fuel filler door. Go look at the 86 twins, they too have hideous and obnoxiously large/weird fuel doors. Last edited by takemorepills; 02-05-2022 at 09:36 PM. |

The door handle is better than the previous Z cars. But the trim around the door handle is odd. Why didn't nissan get rid of the trim part.
Also the fuel cap. Wth lol. Why does it have to be that large. Holly **** its big. Maybe in the next couple of yrs they will change it and make it a lot smaller. I'll be in my bunk!

Agreed...
I'm continually lost/amazed that Nissan wants to draw ATTENTION to the door handle area... Why? I've yet to ever hear: "Wow, that car looks amazing, but those Door Handles!! DOPE!!!" I'm guessing they did a last minute design change somewhere in the process and some compromise was made. Problem is that it's one of those once you SEE it, it just jumps out... Overall it's "less bad" than the Silver / "Please NOTICE ME" door handles on 350z/370z Quote:
