Z Focus Group - Tonight @ 7pm in West Los Angles

I signed up for a focus group service that my friend had been participated in. Usually, they have call me to review products like Verizon FiOS or a new tea that was going to hit the market, but I'm never available.

Well, about 5 minutes ago I got a call from them asking is I was willing to go to a focus group regarding the Nissan Z....tonight.

I am so excited!!

I will update this post tonight and I'll be sure to relay what we all have been asking:

We want a lighter, more powerful car that doesn't have a sabertooth front end and doesn't have weird boomerang lights..

I already know my cell-phone won't be allowed in there, but I can at least try to verify some of the speculative stuff that we have all been wondering about..

I'm sure at this point in the game the car is finished so we are probably stuck with the headlight thing.
Hopefully you will get a better insight and more details on the new Z and what will be presented to us here soon. And maybe, maybe the opportunity to see pics and or video. Hmmmm, let us know how it turns out.

Those lights flow well with the car. The fangs look agressive, though a different front end may look a little better it doesn't look terrible. I'm consoled by the fact that they realize that people at these things don't speak for everyone.

Oh, and at the top of my list I'd have to say is "RESPONDS WELL TO MODIFICATION."

If it looks out of place on the car and they ask for my opinion, I will of course give them an honest answer.

I'm looking forward to seeing everything as one harmonious piece.

But, the testing service did'nt give me any details about whether I will see the car or not. I hope I will.

When I was working at Nissan about 2 years ago, we had tested the current Sentra for quite a few groups and we even delayed the internal launch date due to the feedback for the car. They got to see it, so hopefully I do too.

Just a teaser. The new Z left the high security area of NNA, here in TN about 2 weeks ago, headed for CA. Maybe its where you are gonna be!

Wow, that's a cool concept.

Datsun lines, GTRish, Audi LEDs, some bangle type lines and classic roadster/sports car type body with a long hood and sitting way in the back.

I would gain nothing from lying, it would just make me look like a tool when I go to meets, so yeah I will post up an update as soon as I get home tonight.
