The hood is very Infinity-esque.

Now that I see this, I'm speculating that the magazine that made the those renderings of the 370Z were going off of what the new Maxima looks like. They were probably told that the new Z would have similar headlights.

I hope that there's enough negative public reaction to put a stop to these headlights making their way to the Z. It's too late for the Maxima.

All will be forgiven when the S16 hits.

Not if it looks anything like that...

It's not going to be an S16 either. It won't be an S chassis.

I'm honestly not expecting a real...looker either.

I do remember the general public did not like the 'tooth' grille and that didn't get passed onto the new Altima and refreshed models. However, I think its too late for that on the Z and it's headlights.

Damn it, the ugliness level for this car has reached a new high. I was hoping for something better, sometime innovation and the strive for uniqueness does not equal GOOD LOOKING.

just find a way to get the headlight to be damaged from any possible position on the car so they can sell more parts!

Naughty240 · 03-18-2008, 11:47 AM

Every car co. stops making a car then brings it back. With the 1 series coming out and the Solstice being 2 somewhat affordable rwd cars they could create a market. If a market is created they will build it. The Camaro came back. The Z came back and the GTR came back and in our country. You guys dont work for Nissan USA so you dont know. I think in the next 3 or 4 years Nissan will have to answer to all these new RWD cars that are out. JMO flame me if you want. Yes the Maxima is busted and its a shame because I always liked it.

irax · 03-18-2008, 11:54 AM

actually it looks allot like volvo styling

at the same time it looks like nissan wants to enter nascar

You've missed numerous ongoing posts about a future 240/Silvia. And you misunderstood what RedEvilRPS13 said. The fact is Nissan IS working on a new 240/Silvia. What he was saying is that it will NOT be a S-Chassis vehicle as that chassis is dead.

Now back to the Maxima. What about this version?

*Yuri* · 03-18-2008, 12:04 PM

I'm willing to bet the headlight detail is part of Nissan's new corporate identity.
Nissan more than other companies uses the same form vocabulary over most of it's model range.
It will not surprise me at all if the 370Z has a similar headlight treatment.

bloodie73 · 03-18-2008, 12:17 PM

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of the Camry???

Try reading the thread before you post...

muddafakka · 03-18-2008, 02:01 PM

Nissan Camry FTMFL.

Thanks a lot Nissan.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-18-2008, 05:44 PM

I dont think its that bad. The body reminds me of the altima but with a hint of the new toyota camry/ES due to the tailight style, trunk and how the side arch bulges out from the main body line...

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 03-18-2008, 05:54 PM

car looks really good. i don;t hate the headlights like mel but i think the m35 headlights would have been a better choice.

i'm curious to see what they look like when they are on. i really like this car.

Omarius Maximus · 03-18-2008, 09:55 PM

Looks better this way:

Man, Nissan's design has really taken a turn for the worst.

blasting_speed · 03-18-2008, 10:00 PM

Damn all of these Nissans are starting to look the same. Jeez.

WilloW · 03-18-2008, 10:11 PM

Omarious, could you chop it to get rid of the crease over the fender arc? I like that headlight chop.

0100 · 03-18-2008, 11:52 PM

wow I just vomited.
