I have mixed feelings about the look of the new nismo but it does have its great angles. I do like how the front fascia openings slightly resembles that of the Aventador. With regards to Nismo I just wish it was a true complete package uprgrade in the sense of BMW with their M's or Mercedes with AMG and etc etc. Even if it tip toes into GT-R HP territory so be it. The GT-R would still sell well even with a close competing sibling because people who want one would still buy it because of it being a "holy grail" of the car scene. C'mon NISMO!!!!


Just for reference of the slight similarity I was talking about.

Yea they definitely need spacers the fender flares they added to the kit make the gap look worse.

^You'll have to create a thread when the GTR Nismo arrives! :drools:

I feel like they changed the design of the Nismo Z to match the other nismo cars, someone at corporate was like "hey why does that nismo z not match the sentra and the juke, change it". Still an awesome car but i wouldn't want to upgrade to it. I like my 09 #0111

I like the new spoiler. I've never been a fan of "bleacher seat" spoilers.

I only wish the new spoiler was integrated, instead of a glued on thing. However I realize Nissan did that, because they didn't want to create an all new mold for the trunk.

Such a weak, soft look to it. Not very aggressive IMO

One could say that it has a more mature and refined look to it.

really? I would have to say the complete opposite. In my opinion, the latest nismo looks like the hired 2 seventeen year olds to play need for speed all day, then asked them to design a new body kit for the Z34....

front fender arche lips look lame, initially I thought they were there for a reason but after those close up shots I noticed the front arch lips dont even go all the way down the fender to prevent dirt and debri going up the door sides. Reminds of those cheap plastic trims old folk ( Im no spring chicken) put around their door edges.

I much like the rear spoiler and front bumper. Thats about it. All in all a good refresh. Not too keen on the flat sunken in wheels though.

Best one item is the front bumper followed by the dark headlights.

It's very sad indeed they removed the numbered! Everyone can have a Nismo, but not everyone is gonna appreciate what it is!

I imagine the price dropping faster on these cars!?!

Not really. Some dealers are offering an "Internet Price" that's a few hundred dollars less than MSRP, but on the whole the new NISMO is selling fast at sticker price. I've tried four dealer exchanges: all failed because the car was sold before it could happen, or the dealer refused because they were confident of getting a better deal locally.

There's too few of the cars right now, so supply and demand is at work. If Nissan increases the amount of cars available in the US, then maybe it will oversaturate and cause a price reduction, but until then it's a hot commodity due to scarcity.

We'll see if Nissan wants to play the scarcity plan, or intends to eventually oversaturate soon enough...
