This is old news, but...It's different to say the least.  I think it could grow on me.

yep...I think it will definitely grow on me. :biggrin:

Imagine blowing that engine... 3.5 liter six with 260+ hp stock.... So much potential... even making 100 hp/liter, which is fairly mild with forced induction, thats probably at least 300rwhp....   Goosbumps hehe
Plus its cheap cosidered what kinda platform you get... If I have the means in the next 5 years, I'm gonna pick one up....

I hate to disagree with you guys, but I think it looks kinda....ugly. It looks like a new Celica crossed with an Audi TT. I wish they somehow would have kept the styling of the late model 300ZX headlights, but the new ones look ugly and the lights look JUST like the new Celica. Personally I think they should bring over the newest model of Silvia, and scrap that new 300ZX. They need something to compete with the new Lancer's that are coming to America, and I think Silvia is proven its self in Japan already...and could be marketted here....instead of gambling on a new styled 300ZX.

But thats just my opinion.

One question,

FWD, RWD, or "AWD"?

[LanceS13]

It's the traditional RWD.
And it does hint of an Auddi Celica, but I can see a lot of inheretant features of the old 240/260/280ZX's more so than the last 300ZX.  Yeah...it's weird, but I tend to like weird stuff.:)

[vancouvers14]

that thing looks terrible.  nissan doesnt care about sports cars in north america anymore.  theyll just keep putting out more trucks until we all revolt....

[Archangel]

I think it looks like a TT that got a kick in the behind, then got celica headlights, but i'm not sure if i like it or not.
And yes, unfortunately nissan doesn't market its sportscars in north america like it does in japan.  Need i remind anyone of the "Skyline" scheduled to come out in the US.

[ca18guy]

It's cool (would u rather have no NIssan sports car?) The car looks better in different pics. #### I like every Z so I have a biased opinion.

[ca18guy]

Also forgot to mention that it will be available as a convertable, so that might get rid of the Audi look everyone thinks it has. If you put the Z and Audi next to each other I don't think the roofline resembles it that much.

Guys, if you look around, all '02-'03 cars are styled this way. The old boxy-yet-rounded looks are out. I think this look might grow on me too. The freak that I am, I'd probably think of whether you can do a motor swap between the z32 and this thing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

They look badass until you see the rear and then its just plain naassssssssssty.

Lemme do this once again just for shits and giggles <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Hey, Mark that is a good way to explain how the car looks now...funny LoL! I wonder how much this bad boy would cost? Like Lance said &quot;I could grow on this car&quot;

[ca18guy]

Nissan's goal is for the car's price to start below $30000

[West]

Wait, nissan is talking about Turboing it someday <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Its still ugly though.

[ca18guy]

I'm not complaining, it's 100 times better then the 1999 Z concept, I think the car will be more &quot;clean&quot; looking for production.

[West]

I still think its a 240SX like the Original Z Concept. It shares no heritage of the old Z's.

[vancouvers14]

i dont think thats the final design either. &nbsp;I think the front end (ahead of the wheels) is too short to pass regulations. &nbsp;And is it just me or are a lot of new cars getting taller? &nbsp;What happened to the low wide car?

[whateverjames]

just wait til you see one on the road in your favorite color without the oversized wheels. i doubt nissan will equip them with 20's. people will be changing their mind real quick.

[my240likenoother]

i see the 300z in the roof and i hope they dont come out with the covertible
i love the car it looks real nice
and also it is a &quot;concept car&quot; &nbsp;have you seen any concept cars that look that good usualy the r totaly outragous

[zephyr]

I heard somewhere that they are going to put 17s on for production along with lessening the intensity of those outrageous fender flares

[HaloZ]

ok first of all it's the &quot;350Z&quot;, not ZX, not 300. and yeah there are some styling changes coming to the production model and in the 3rd year production might have a twin turbo or SC set up. that's still 4 years off. and they look WAY better in person. but still not at nice as the z32. more info a <a href="http://www.350zforum.com
