I think the look has potential. As long as the performance was similar, I would consider it. I am buying the Z mostly for solid performance, the flashiness is just a plus.

 

Speaking only in terms of design --- in that body shell... no way.

But -- the body has a lot of potential subject to a lot of tweaking.

 

Difficult to say since I love the one we're getting. If I hadn't seen the concept of the one we're getting maybe...I really wanted a brand spanking new fresh off the assembly line Nissan Z. But doubt I would have if it only had a 4 popper, high revs or no. (Nothing against racing/modified 4 cylinders, but EPA takes cares of that.)

The other factor is it took a while for me to warm up to the concept we're getting. And then when the first production pictures were released, it looked even better to me. And having built the 1:24th scale model and the 1:10th scale RC model...I have a feeling the car is going to look even better IRL. I don't think you could say that about this one...not as "3D".

It was supposed to have a tuned version of the KA24DE from the previous generation Altima and 240SX making about 200hp, and I'm so glad they scrapped this concept it would have fallen flat on it's face. It would be an OK succesor to the 240SX but not the Z.

 

Thanks guys. Just wanted to see if everyone HATED it as much as I do!

 

this is the one i liked persoannly, with the big ol 20 inch rims to!

 

Good question. Kinda 944/280 looking. It does look lighter than our Z. I'd go for it if it could have more performance. Otherwise I like the 350Z we're getting.

 

i think it looks pretty nice. the side view isn't the most flattering view of the old z concept...the 3/4 views are much nicer.

 

It would have been a Z, but the numbers would have had to be there to make it more attractive.

 

U - G - L - Y!

You ain't got no alibi!

You ugly! Yeah, you ugly!

 

LOL!! and smelly too.


AHAHAHAHA that was funny birdman!

 

No way. I would have gotten a 'Vette instead.

 

that weird body BMW M Coupe and yeah, like a ballcap. YUK!!

 

Never with a 4 cyl

But did any of you who hated this design ever have a 240Z??

Or simply like its designs?

I think they could have worked with it and made a nice car, but I dont think they would have sold large numbers as a reto car.
