Ok, it’s official. Where do I sign?
The ugliest Z in history. Nissan has jumped the shark on this one.

Different strokes for different folks, Dr Lemming. I think it looks nice. That, and it weighs about 100 pounds less than the 350Z, and it has 30 more horsepower. How can you argue with that?
As long as they drop the Canadian MSRP to within reasonable distance of the American price (as opposed to, what, 50% more?) I’ll live.
I really wanted a new Z when they were first introduced, especially after all the reviews noting the value for the money it offered. I was actually slightly ill when I saw the CAD$ MSRP.
As a former 240Z owner maybe I’m biased. But it seems the zenith of Z design was 1973. I’m sure this new one is a better car just like every Z since 1975 was better than its predecessor. But the new designs (bloated and unimaginative) leave me cold. The yellow 240 seems to be sitting alone and ignored thinking, “I’ve got to get out of here. These are not my peeps.”
Nissan’s gone ghetto.
I guess it’s a matter of personal taste but as a former 240Z owner, I think the new 370Z looks great. The side glass is pure 240Z and the rear fender bulges are 911-esque. The split head and rear light designs also work much better here than they do on the Maxima. The interior also looks much improved over the 350Z but I guess that isn’t saying much. However, the proof will be in the driving.
“Alright, who let the G37 hump the Genesis coupe? You were supposed to let it go at the F430. Now we have this bastard to deal with.”
It is probably better looking than the 350, but at the cost of going retro.
Retro? That thing looks like it came out of a Blade Runner-inspired anime. It looks like a combination of the 350Z with the GT-R’s roofline and the headlights and taillights from a Maxima.
Not at all a bad car. Curvaceous where it should be, much less fat-looking than the current model and the detailing/design language works here in exactly the way it fails to on the Maxima.
It’s not up to, say, Mazda’s level of artful sculpting (and let’s not speak of the current lozenge Miata) but it’s a good-looking car.

That’s why it’s ugly, imo. Still looks bloated, too. Shortening the wheelbase certainly didn’t help the looks, even if it help cut weight. The cabin also looks like they designed it at the last minute.
To me, the best-looking one was the 300ZX Twin Turbo.

I agree, that car was teh sexy in the 90’s. Many of us wanted to own it but were so young still to afford one!
