There should be a timeline of press so people can look at it and be completely up to date.

Just my opinion....
If that photo of the back is for real and the front looks just as aggressive, we might have a nice looking "evolutionary" Z coming our way.
When I was in high school, muscle cars were everywhere. I'm talking about such cars as the Plymouth Hemi-Cuda, Chevelle SS, Camaro, Dodge Challenger (the real Challenger...not that new Dick Tracy car they are marketing today), Mustang BOSS 429, Olds 442, etc. There was a term used back then..."roadhugger".
To me, that term is the essence of the 350Z. The car is small, powerful, fits the driver like a jetfighter cockpit, and sticks to the road like glue performance wise. The appearance of the car needs to continue conveying this impression and that picture looks like it might.
In other threads showing the orange rendering of the front and a blue rendering of the rear...the back end sucks. It looks like they tacked on a big piece of black plastic for the skirt. I really hope that (rear) is not what the car will look like.
I have an 06 Touring Coupe and will definitely upgrade if the new car looks good. By then, I may have put 20K miles on my car so it should sell for a good price to finance the next Z.

Forgot to add...I really hope the next model comes with 9" front and 10" rear wheels as standard. This car screams for wide performance tires. The current 8" and 8.5" tires are just a bit too small for my taste.

The '06 Track/GT and the '07-'08 GT/Nismo have wheels that wide.
