I think this is the cover of that mag. I see some GT-R flavor with the fenders, but the front bumper + headlights don't look right. Maybe it'll grow on me.

if thats the car it will actually make the Z33 go up in value and collectability, as that thing pictured above looks like a butt ugly attempt at a Audi TT rip off. I think thats a artist rendering. Japanese mags while posting pics of test cars quite often exaggerate things because they really don't know. Like those headlights. lol

Oh ya and look at those door handles? I cry foul on that whole thing. ITs faked.

*kingkilburn* · 03-11-2008, 10:46 AM

Those lights are fugly. They would be more successful with the current lights on the new body.

I say fake as well.

Yea it's just a rendering. Usually these kind of renderings are based on two things.

1. They have seen the car and they base the rendering off of what they've seen.

2. They've been told about the car (either officially or unofficially)and again are basing the renderings off of that info.

I don't take any of these very serious, but speculation sure is fun.

*Antihero983* · 03-11-2008, 10:57 AM

it still wont looks a good as a S30. :/

Dutchmalmiss · 03-11-2008, 11:00 AM

Yeah I can image the headlights would hopefully look better than that. I'd also praise God if those "front bumper grill support" things were deleted from life.

*exitspeed* · 03-11-2008, 11:31 AM

I HAVE to give Nissan the benefit of the doubt that they will deliver an amazing car both visually and performance wise. They didn't let us down on the GTR even a bit...(cept for the haters).

BustedS13 · 03-11-2008, 12:34 PM

that z looks like it's about to cry

JoeC1982 · 03-11-2008, 12:55 PM

i took part in a dealer survey and it looks like they are going to cut down on the amount of trim levels available. just specualting i'd say that they will be an enthusiast line and a touring line with a nismo or track edition with a later introduction.

jackjack · 03-11-2008, 01:14 PM

have to wait and see the final version. as of now......... no thanks.

Kn1ves · 03-11-2008, 01:57 PM

i actually wished it would look like a baby gtr for its next itiration

OptionZero · 03-11-2008, 02:09 PM

the headlights are overstyled, like someone couldn't stop "designing"

*exitspeed* · 03-11-2008, 02:28 PM

Not even a PS, but a terrible Paintshop pro hack, but you get the idea.

atom · 03-11-2008, 02:31 PM

Why is it pouting?

Matej · 03-11-2008, 03:59 PM

Better not have paddle shifters.

bardabe · 03-11-2008, 05:06 PM

god that shit is terribly ugly, it's like the Z32 was the S30, and the Z33 the S130, it;s only going to get worse for the next few generations.

SimpleS14 · 03-11-2008, 05:10 PM

Shouldn't this be titled "The official 370Z thread" ? I dunno..that just me...

The spy photo of the car's front end doesn't show LEDs on the bottom of the headlight. Quite possible its on the side behind the tape?

I will wait until more spy shots roll out before I have a good idea on how this car will look.

Regardless, I think it will be a nice evolutionary improvement.

yep. first thing out of my mind when i saw that picture was that "it looks like a fatty" look where the door starts and ends. almost looks like how the new corollas look like. fat and big

DUFFM4N · 03-11-2008, 09:09 PM

370Z? looks like a 08 Mitsubishi Eclipse

NervGS · 03-11-2008, 09:20 PM

I'm not the biggest fan of the 350 lookswise, I'm still stuck on the 240Z's slim and slender looks. I wish the 350 looked more like a TVR or BMW Z4 coupe.

The rear quarter of the car is the nicest part of it.

In my opinion; these two cars come more close visually to the 240Z than the 350... Then again, I'm sure Nissan wasn't trying to really emulate the 240, but it would have been nice.

I'll finish it tomorrow, just a quick shop i did.

Helghast · 03-12-2008, 12:58 AM

The whole front end is made of Fail soup.

Perfect examples of how it should look. Just mimic the lines and over all form. But don't make it "retro". The shape is what makes the old Z's so scrumptious.

Daniel. · 03-12-2008, 09:59 AM

Rockin the 19 20 stagger in photoshop

*exitspeed* · 03-12-2008, 10:01 AM

I wish we could see what it would look like with a lower beltline and longer hood.

*Antihero983* · 03-12-2008, 10:05 AM

just gonna throw this out there...

G-nose S30/S130>any 350z ever.

<3 TVR. They make beautiful cars.

I hope they don't go out of business.
