especially the LED strip addition.
Agree, I'm tired of LED strips....it was ok on Audi's for a while...then Mercedes got it the act, and now others....its played out...

Not a fan of the new ones. Never been a fan of the NISMO. '09-'12, FTW.

kidkotic2001 07-20-2012 09:23 AM

I am glad I traded in my 09 for a 12, I hate the front of the new Z and the LED make it worse. The Rims look horrible but if you get a 13 just get a nismo.

Glad I bought a 12, not a fan of the 13
the 12 just looks more aggressive.

robones 07-20-2012 09:42 AM

I am with the majority... I hate the new wheels and front bumper of the 13! the Z looks like it got severely neutered when they removed the aggressive fangs and added LED lights. Even the new wheel design is somewhat subtle compared the the previous design. Looks like Nissan wants to try to appeal to the masses to increase sale volume but at what sacrifice?

Robones, I have no problem with you not liking the 13's looks as the prior years models are beautiful as well. I have a 13 on order, have seen them in person and I prefer them to the 12. So it's just a matter of personal taste. I posted the pics of the 13 on another thread.

My questions to you, is the last sentence of your post. Are you saying the majority of the people will like the new 13 look better than the 12? And what do you mean by sacrifice?

If they sell more the car becomes less unique and more played out.

'12 vs '13
 
I just put $$ down on a 2012 that is 12hrs away from me due to not wanting a 2013.
First reason was that I am not a fan of the new wheel design on the 2013's but the fact I can get 0% on 5 yrs on a 2012 is a great bonus.
The new bumper design is decent, the LED's are acceptable but not appreciated, but the wheels went the wrong way IMO.

I have to say that unfortunately if there was someone who thought Z drivers are possibly immature and confrontational, I would hope they do not read this thread. Everything is about taste and opinion. Some of us are biased to our choices, some of us back our choices up with facts, but no matter what we are all proud Z owners.

Let's redirect our passion into the car and not each other's ego.

lol this forum's reputation has gone down quite a bit over the years. But I'm not really worried about what outsiders think.

If they come here to learn about the car, they should be able to find information on it. I try to help as best I can, but I'm not always here and am not qualified to answer everything.

But every car forum has illogical arguments. It is the nature of online forums.

whoady4shoady 07-20-2012 04:42 PM

Apparently some people can't sense when someone is obviously being sarcastic. Jeez. And just for your information, I am very successful. I am an overweight 29 year old virgin who still lives home with his parents. I bought the Z because it makes me feel better about my small pp. I'm a badass!

Mod it up and you'll be good to go.

LakeShow 07-20-2012 10:43 PM

I can't wait to see the 13' in person, I don't think I can really tell unless you see it in person.

So what you 2 guys are saying is that the general public will like the 2013Z better and buy more? Thus, wouldn't that make your opinion, regarding looks of the 2013 in the minority?

I was explaining to you what you didn't understand from his post. Where did i say i didn't like the new look, in fact i got the Pshop done to show the fangs still there to try and calm everyone down that was hating on it. Please get your shit straight little man. :tiphat:

BeksNice 07-20-2012 11:25 PM

It's a pretty common thing to hate on a new car.
A lot of people who drove 350z in 2008 hated on 370z once it was out.


It's ok.

KaienZ34 07-20-2012 11:33 PM

I just don't like him implying i said something that i didn't, and your right...

Kaizen, no hate here and I didn't imply anything. If you read my comment again I never made any derogatory comment towards you. Just asking questions trying to clarify your position. Forgive me if I thought you took the same position as robones.

But please, no need to call people "little man" and post Hater posters when no one showed any hate towards you. Peace.

I personally rather people comply with what I say then imply I said something else. I find it makes everybody's life much easier. Dont you agree?

If the new changes increase sales volume which would mean more people prefer the new look; then yes my opinion would in fact become the monitory. :tiphat:

Let's hope this is the case so Nissan feels encouraged to continue R&D with the Z platform. Not enough sales and they may likely kill of a legend.

2009-2012 Owner: "Fangs are great, new look sucks, LEDs suck".
20013 Owner: " Fangs suck, love the new look, love the LEDs."

Point of view.

This.
But I do not think that Fangs suck. They are great, but I like the new look better.

Don't recall reading anywhere that a future 13 owner said, "fangs suck". I for one don't think so, and have said a couple of times that the prior years models were beautiful. I just prefer the 13 to those.

And yes, I totally agree with you when you say "Point of view". :tup:
