Just my observation.

Ok lets make it 2023 to 2024 year option.
I swear I've seen it before but I can't find the video. The lid portion is on a slider. the slider base is hinged. If i find the video I'll link it.

nvm found it

I think they just didn't try pushing it back/didn't know about it.
Also, the engine VIN tag shows a production date of 9/21. I'm guessing it's for 2022 model year?

Ya, because the actual frame underneath the skin is a 370Z. Plastic surgery 101. They simply could not move the absolute location of the fuel filler opening.

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:

I like the dash but prefer the old analog, radial style gauges. They didn't make it a unique dash to the Z. It will be similarly shared with Juke and Murano et al. (vise steering wheel)

The video by these dorks is incomplete. They only lifted the hatch, which is for storage. The top also just slides back, which is what you would do to use the cup holder. It's not great, but at least it's there. In the C8 Vette the cup holder is obnoxiously in the way.

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.....

I think I'd rather have the new style door handles with the ugly surround color matched to the car than the bulging silver handles on my 370Z. Agree that the new handles would be so much better without the giant trim.

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.

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
