I'd never own a Z, but it does look better if they indeed add the subtle fender flares like in the orange pic

That's how the front end needs to look from the factory. Gets rid of the awkward gaping maw and still works with the retro cues of the car. The wheels also give off a RS Watanabe vibe as well. Hands down better looking than the Supra.

Agree with all of that. The Supra is a cool car and looks better in person, but the exterior design is overwrought and needlessly busy. I'm not usually a fan of orange cars, but the Fairlady Z Proto looks fantastic. My dad had an orange 260z when I was a kid & the family resemblance between that car and the new Z is obvious. I'm looking forward to driving one.

That writer is a joke. Making a big deal of 6MT, sign of the times I guess, and no mention of the performance having a LSD.

Yeah this would be more newsworthy if the Supra wasn't getting a manual transmission but since it is the Z doesn't hold that over it. Also it's highly unlikely the Nissan automatic transmission will be nearly as good as the ZF8 so price is really the only advantage the Z car may hold.

Let's be honest, the better car is going to be the one built between the collaborative effort of BMW & Toyota, not the revised 370Z.

Sounds decent and appears to shift reasonably quickly. Still not a fan of teh gaping front maw and I fully expect this to still have the typical Nissan programmed overly intrusive traction control system. |

Gotta give them a bit of credit for the screen integration compared to the tombstone placement of most MFGs these days.

The front end is the biggest issue with design. Well that and the center stack is rather odd.
Sounds and looks fast however. And all that matters at the end of the day is how it performs. |

I like the two toned interior. But it's looking like this car will not come out until 2023.

For all the heat the "iPad"-style infotainment systems get, it's my preference functionally, as you can see more of the road in your peripheral vision that way.

Dealers are drooling. They will have 45k up to 65K before markups

$2,410 for a Nismo noise maker. Get in line folks!

if it were Titanium I could see it, but the aftermarket is going to offer something as good or better for a fraction of the cost... watch Nissan lock it into certain packages/trims to pad the MSRP

I know that material costs have gone up but that's a lot for a stainless steel exhaust.

this is about on par with other OEM optioned exhausts... golf R akrapovic exhaust was like 2600ish. Granted, this is by Nismo, not akrapovic.
