The back half has a very nice "fast back" look to it and the rest of the car has an Aston Martin type lines to it. Do want after seeing it in person, that or a C7, of course it would need to be in "Black diamond Tri-coat"

I liked the red C7. Not a 'vert fan. Still like the white paint, though. Of course, it would be in white diamond tri coat.

This car is fricken gorgeous. You have to see it in person the pics don't do it justice. I'm not one to get my jollies all up for a mustang but this car has it all. Also this newer model will have more hp than the previous gt 5.0 cause it will have a bigger intake and exhaust valves and a higher lift cam. Also it will get the former boss 302 valve springs and connecting rods as well as an oil cooler.

I was disappointed with nissan's showing. The sporty car was the nismo juke. I like audi's lineup and the running lights on the kia were neat. Love the qx56 for some reason.

Weren't we all... seriously someone needs to go up to the CEO/development team and kick them in the nuts. Its like nissan is purposely trying to get rid of the z or make everyone forget about it.

the rear fender seems too flared and too high for the rest of the car, like a set of fat hips/*** on a woman (not in a good way). the wheel openings seem enormous giving the car the feeling like it needs bigger wheels and a drop, but the wheels themselves already look big. Everything from the A-pillar foward seems akward... like it's just too long.. almost like a real long slender torso mated to that fat *** I mentioned
