I am not talking about "tired" in the sense of immediately adjacent model styles to the next. I am talking about overall in the entire history of the car itself. When one looks at a Vette no matter what ancestral generation one does not have a doubt it is a Vette. GM's goal was to brand the look.

I don't believe Nissan has necessarily had that in mind to the same extent as GM has as the Z has really gone through some "look" changes over the years. The design differences have for the most part been all sufficiently different enough to cause people to have to take a close look to verify and in their minds that they are looking at a Z. The only Z 's that have experienced little design difference between themselves have been the 350Z and the 370Z.

So this is what I mean when I say the design is "tired". The design branding of the look compared to the Z is too set into stone for the Vette. And as I said before it is starting to happen with the Mustang as well.
