I dont know why it's so hard to believe that the Z is changing.
The model design lifespan was 6 year's if I remember correctly.
I have seen pics that are all similar or generally look the same.
such as below! Enjoy folks!

Even then, the lines are too hard and the air dam is wrong (as are the taillights).
This is the best rendering ive seen out of the thousands for the past year or so. If the next gen Z looks similiar or close, I would be interested of buying it instead of the Camaro or Challenger.

The back in this pic reminds me of a TVR Tuscan http://www.tvr.co.uk/overview_tuscan.php

You can check out what they are up to at the La Jolla design studio, I drive by everyday on the way to work. Always cool to see what cars they are using for inspiration for their designers:

I haven't abandoned this fourm. I'm still sticking by my original post. I can't belive I cant find one image of it online. The marketing researcher assured the photos were not renderings. They were of a silver model on a dark background.

The tail lights were more of a boomerang shape compared to these. Very diffrent.

I don't think I would want to undermine him, his work, or Nissan by publishing a drawing although I have drawn it -- albeit poorly -- for Mr B (another member here). I guess this doesn't help anyone in terms of info... but I actually posted about this nearly a year ago but my thread was mysteriously removed. In that thread I mentioned the following: Same overall profile but slightly more curves more accents around the exhaust area. I was thinking mentioning the boomerang tail-lamps may have been too much info. But since it is public now... Also, I can confirm the larger front air dam. Ok, enough info. We wait for Tokyo 07 (or 08).
The clay model you saw is most likely very close to final, what you described sounds a lot like the photos I saw. I hope this thing surfaces soon!

Great news but sad for me at the same time...From everything Ive heard it will be a smaller car...Im 6'6" 250lbs and fit in the 350Z pretty good...Anything smaller I wont be able to get...I really hope the rear end doesnt look like the dark grey one with the stacked exhaust...Thats a hideous rear...Now for the agonizing wait...

I believe the dude.

And, contrary to what was posted above, 6 people is not unusual for a focus group.
