Interesting from the perspective that Nissan is changing their marketing towards online reveals. We'll see if Nissan sticks with the traditional concept reveal one year and then tries another bite at the apple the following year. That would mean Z35 production starts on '21 as a '22 model. Notice how all the questions for the Z proto were of a conceptual nature?

On a personal note, I like what I saw and since the Z33 interior was already based on the S30, there's really nothing to complain about. Digital instrumentation should update the design nicely, if they don't make all the adjustment ***** and buttons virtual. Exterior styling looks good, and like Mic, I'll have to see it in the flesh before I put down $$$. Details count for a lot and we simply won't know much until production plans reach maturity (my guess is next spring).

 

If they run an aux intercooler OEM....

 

FWIW, they said it was mostly a production finish body, as in less prototype than actual.

 

I actually prefer analog gauge clusters, less video game in nature. But I'll also be 40 in Dec. lol.

 

The queues from the Z32 in the taillights don't fit the car at all. The entire rear end looks like it came off a late model mustang fastback. I also absolutely despise the front grille. I'm really shocked the designers chose the S30 and Z32 to pull design queues from. The Z32 completely clashes with all other generation Zs, mixing the two together was a bad idea.

The side profile and interior look great to me. Probably because this part of the car shows the most S30/Z33/Z34 design queues.

There's still plenty of time for changes to be made in these areas. I wouldn't be surprised if Nissan is paying close attention to the fans' opinions.

Just put a smaller oval shaped grille structure there and it's a winner appearance wise.

 

I like the tail lights, call me crazy but they should have matched that back with a long nose an flip lights. That would make me throw money on the table no questions asked lol.

 

here is my semi professional non professional thoughts

interior- not bad from the pics
front end- looks like a 350z and a miata had a bastard child together
side profile- brz/frs/m4/280 mash up
rear - jag f type/300z/old school porsche 911 had a gang bang

all in all, i think the car got hit with a big ol bag of what the ****

 

tail lights remind me of old porsche 911/300z, i agree i think the nose needs to be longer

 

Just to echo what others are saying, I'm not the biggest fan of the front bumper/grille. However, didn't they say they pay a lot of attention to social media for feedback and criticism? Maybe Nissan will come across this thread and take some pointers.

They remained very silent as to technical specs which was a little disappointing but understandable since this was a prototype. It sounds like there was heavy emphasis on bringing a driver's car to market and I'm not mad about that one bit. I just hope the sales are enough to justify continued production and improvements.

One of the things I like most about the Z33 is it feels very analog and the driver is connected to the road. I'm hoping all those fancy electronics don't detratct from that.

 

Overall I'm pretty excited about the new Z. I bet it looks different in person than in the pictures. Most vehicles do. And I also like how Nissan was able to incorporate design elements from many of the previous generation Zs in the overall design. It definitely pays homage to the past, but still looks modern. Now I can't wait until Nissan releases all the details about the car. Horsepower, torque, models, options, prices etc....

 

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, NISSAN.

6 speed and twin turbo? My dick can only get so hard.

 

tony be like

 

Pretty much. Except my dick's dick is also hard.

 

LOL!

 

This will be us after nissan changes the front end on the production model due to community backlash

 

Best comment on Facebook Z groups (where we know all people there are experts like the "designer", above):

"Everyone complaining about the new Z cant afford one anyway so... "

 

I've found an even better one 🤣

 

I mean to be fair they will give credit to a dog lol, I can afford it but I've also spent the price tag of that car in mods alone for mine. I'm not giving up my Z any time soon so in order for me to buy another sports car it will have to wow me, otherwise nope.

 

Hmmm....
