B210 are 'interesting' there is one on craigslist in SD for 1200 that looks the same! Any your avatar I think is Sung Hi, I met her at a club in Toronto a long time ago...

$1200? Damn..I sold mine for $500 in 1989. I should have held on to it. hehe

GETU1 -Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez, for designing my dream car. My only gripe is the fog light " ..hole"...what's up with that?? LOL!

I think its cool as a brake light. I did some early sketches as if it was a race car and got inspired by a low single brake light like F-1 or Lemans race cars.

theDreamer- I have to ask, you are giving back your Z so what are you replacing it with?
Do you still have your 240z?

I ll be getting another Z but my wife wants me to wait a little bit. Cube just came in for the wife and expecting another baby any day now. Just picked up another bike and will probably be riding mostly for a little while.

Sold the 240 and my friend who bought has been tracking it I think every month and doing well. Needed it for a down on the house I recently bought.

chuckd05- That Blue Z in the nissan design place is the blue I wanted to see the 370 have, whats up with that ? Future color ?

I dont have much say in the color department but I'd love a metallic silver blue also. I wish the car was offered in a lot of other colors as well.

Sscottfitz- I am however still pondering that "erotic & shark influence" thingee....

The 'erotic mechanism' concept came from the mothership in Japan which I thought was cool. Sometimes things get lost in translation and they end up sending us stuff like that.

I think sports cars should be sinister and menacing but at the same time beautiful. Sharks are like that and think of the body side like its belly and the beltline like a sharks profile and the sharp detailing. Better I was looking at sharks for inspiration than a whale or a panda, right?

:rofl2:

That's awesome you did those interviews.
Interesting the first video uses footage from Need For Speed (Undercover i think?), which was designed and developed in Vancouver.

Hope to see you at the next auto show! A buddy and I will likely have his GTR and my 40th anniversary 370Z (once it comes in) side by side in V formation at the Canada place convention centre. :)
