Those rims look so small, You could easily fit 20's on this Z and it wouldn't look stupid. Those wheel wells looks HUGE!!

I'm going to have to completely disagree with anyone saying this car looks ugly. Looks pretty damn amazing from looking at these pictures even though we still have yet to see it un-camo'd, which imo, will make it look even more amazing.

Looks just about perfect to me.

Now let's just hope the stock market recovers some and/or it's reasonably priced and I'll drop off my deposit.

Yeah looks aggressive as hell. Especially that rear-quarter shot almost makes it look like a widebody car. I can only imagine how mean it's going to look with some aftermarket touches to it.

It's not as sleek or clean looking as the current Z, but that distinction gives the current Z a special place in the car's lineage.

They are trying to revive the old Fairlady design in that rear quarter, but they did not do a good job since it seems they "Copy Pasted" the old design without stressing on a modern "old" design (like the new mustangs and camaros).

The tailights make you feel as if it is a Porsche Cayman...

The front is not that clear... but what I like in it are the new door handles design...

I think they should ask that Indian guy back to redo the design...

more important to me is the specs that are gonna be on this Z... mainly engine output, weight, stuff of that nature and interior shots. I always think as long as the exterior is acceptable you can always change little things to make it more to your liking, which is the point in all of our exterior modding ^^

It reminds me of this. Especially if you remember how the rear looks on this concept.

List of some of the things I look for in a car:

1. Low weight
2. Stiff chasis
3. Tight suspension
4. Engine - responsive, broad powerband with good top-end
5. Intuitive steering and handling
6. Transmission - geared low for higher revs and better response in the twisties
7. Powerful, fade-free brakes
8. Grippy tires
9. Supportive well bolsterd seats
10. Short wheelbase for quick transitions
11. Low center of gravity
12. Rear-wheel drive


. . .

112. Exhaust note

. . .


586. Nice sound system


. . .


6349. Appearance of headlights



Do any of the rest of you sometimes wonder . . . with all the fixation on looks around here . . . that maybe you stumbled onto the wrong forum by mistake?
