granted they didn't quite nail the original:

The 40th wasn't TRYING to be cool, it just was. A classy interior and a gorgeous paint job.

You'd think the 50th would have been a Nismo in livery or something at least if they were just going with stickers and this tacky approach.

I’m glad I got my 2018 Sport Tech when I did back Nov. 2017. Not crazy about graphics packages. I’ve yet to see another 2018 or 2019 Sport trim or higher between Upstate SC and Atlanta.

Also 370Z - 50th Anniversary Edition

Why does the limited production GTR have more difference among its trim levels than the Z across any version over 10 years? Hell, the GTR has wider fenders, different engine levels, suspension, seats, aero, exclusive colors (two versions of gunmetal) to differentiate its versions

Because the Z stopped being Nissan's flagship sports car when they released the GT-R. Now it's the red-headed, left-handed stepchild: ignored until its birthday, then given some hand-me-down stickers as a present.

I'm guessing you haven't seen the news of the updates for the 2020 GTR and the re-release of Bayside Blue for the 50th Anniversary... Nissan seriously doesn't give a single **** about the Z whatsoever.

No, they don’t. I just can’t figure out why. Off the top of my head I can only think of the VW Bug, Corvette, Mustang and the Z that have made it to 50 continuous years.

You’d think that they’d do something other than stickers to celebrate that achivement.

It took Chevy almost 8 years to see the error of their ways after they killed off the Camaro. How long will the bean counters at Nissan take?

The Z would not be included in those cars that made it to 50 "continuous" years as there was a 2 year break in production from the end of the 300ZX (2000 in Japan) to the introduction of the 350Z (2002, again in Japan).

True True and if you are just thinking of the North American market it's an even longer break from 97-02 model years.

Best reader feedback from the Jalopnik article .... "When you hit up the paint & stickers aisle at AutoZone"

Nissan just gave us loyal Z fans and Pete Brock a big **** YOU. And I mistakenly thought that doing nothing was the worst.

I️ would loved to have seen them do a modern version of a g-nose front end with the Nismo power bump. That would not have taken much, would have been cool as hell and would have paid homage to the original.

Now you've made me extra sad. That would've been dope.
