This has been attributed to one of the reasons that nearly bankrupted Nissan back in the mid-90's. The level of engineering, expense and thought put into the Z32 BACK THEN is comparable to what they put into the GT-R today.

I pray that they do not revive the 2+2 body style. Although it looks good on the Z32 with the longer overall body shape. I have never liked it for ANY model car.....Camaro, Z, etc.

The GT-R is Ghosn baby...it will remain the flagship model and will probably keep being sold globally. It has done to well in the US.
I couldn't agree more. The z32 really was a technical marvel back then... and I still think it's one sexy looking machine.

Big fan of both, but the FD def had and still has one of the sexiest bodies. The Z32, being the first car designed using CAD, looks a bit engineered, instead of sculpted if that makes any sense.

makes perfect sense. to me the 300zx was an optimized acura in style while the styling of the fd was ferrari-esque. the z32 wasn't ugly back then... but the fd, and vr4 did have more exotic looking externals... its reversed now... the z is the most modern looking of the affordable cars.
