that front end is HORRENDOUS. Having the hood line so prevalent in the side profile is just retarded, front grill looks like it came off a suv...huge, front ducts/fog lights meh.
Rear end.....where have i seen that before.
G35 is gonna be the classic of this lineup.

Hold on to your 350z's
About 4 years ago, Honda's TOP car designer was taken away/hired by Hyundai/Kia.
That is why Kia's & Hyundai's are now leadind/influencing the rest of the Japanese car companies.
That is why Hondas cars are getting uglier every year
I don't have much faith in the future of the Z. The market for a $35k to $45k Z has shrunk in Europe & the U.S.A.
The kids of the rich will still buy 80k to 200k sports cars. The smaller & poorer mid-class will want (settle for/afford) a 18k to 30k sports cars. Then add the world gas situation, the push for smaller carbon print & all the other B.S. & preasures on the car makers & we get smaller, less powerful sports cars. Then again the new Scions seem to be doing well.
I'm getting tired with all the gimmicky gauges & technology that take away from the simple solid sports car ride.
As far as the looks of the current cars, they all look the same to me. Over the top, not worth a second look.
Love my 350, & love my 240
I know some people from Nissan. I'll find out what's going on....

Currently shopping around for another vehicle, I was waiting to see what the Q50 would bring -- but I am disappointed. The front resembles a Lexus, the rear a Hyundai. I would much rather jump into an Audi or M56 Sport at this point.

Man everyone is going ape s**t for the LED strips AND foglights. Pick one or put the strips in the headlights. And I'm not too keen on the s-curve front bumper.

Idk about you guys, but I think the car looks great.
Where they failed is the no manual transmission.
The Q50 Hybrid is the real star of the show. 350HP with 450+ torque from the 3.5L V6 and electric engine combined.
Should be easily a 12 second car
