looks like it has the same "reverse mohawk" the Camaro has! Awesome.

Want one. The wheel offsets still suck, but otherwise I like it a lot.

Looks awesome from the rear, not so great from the 3/4 front angle. It does look better and less bloated than the 350Z, though. The similarly priced but more powerful Camaro will definitely be some major competition in the marketplace:

as usual everyone that said they "didn't like it" before--as they see more of it now--are starting to "slowly like it..."

For those looking for just a fast car maybe, for those looking for a pure sport car I doubt it.

The Camaro is a great car, but its always been a heavy/high power muscle car. The Z has always been a true sports car, providing better driving dynamics/handling. Well, 280Z/300ZX excluded. Oh hell, let's just stick to the 370Z

+1 for the comment above...definitely looks better than the previous design photos floating around... the rear looks badass!

anyone know if they are keeping the strut brace in the trunk? use-able trunk space would be great!

Dislike the front, mirrors, and tail lights w/ rear quarter being too big. From the rear, it looks almost like a crossfire. Love the new door handles tho.

I dig it. It's the best looking photos yet. Hopefully the wheel offset gets fixed, but everything else looks like an improvement.

Actually I rather prefer they keep the rear strut tower. It helps a lot as far as chassis flex(VERY helpful for more track-oriented people). G35 coupe, which didn't come with the strut tower, has noticably more chassis flex.

That being said space for my golf bag is a MUST A MUST!!!!!!

I see the old style Z and GTR qualities from these pics. So far these are the best pics I've seen and I have to say its not exactly ugly yet. But really I could care less about the looks I want the motor.

I can see myself buying one next year.

I love what they did with the hatch. I also like how they squared off the side windows and roof line.

It all looks, dare I say it, rather Aston Martin-ish.

Great find with the pics, the design looks fabulous, save for the huge side mirrors (dumbo anyone), but that is an easy fix.

Love the shape of the car, can't wait to see it in the flesh next month in LA

- Rear mounted bumper light appears to be a shift or an RPM light, I LIKE
- Center Recess on the roof, I LIKE
- Tail and Headlights I DON"T LIKE
- Anyone noticed what seems like a pair of Side Mounted Intercoolers, 370z TT anyone!?!?!?!?

Overall decent design minus the BOOMERANG LIGHTS, A BIG SHOW STOPPER.
