Aannnddd ruined. The front and rear are absolutely bland, blocky, and distasteful. Disappointed is not even close to what I am right now.


If they made the front end look closer to this render it would look great.

Positives: CARBON FIBER, interior looks nice, side profile looks nice

first impression is eh, but it's still a "proto" stage. Clearly some edges and details don't have definition.


But then he said "close to final" O_O

Agree. That front grill doesn't demonstrate any Z heritage characteristics, and it's horrible in its own right.

And why did they pick that ugly lemon-lime color for the reveal?

Not a fan of the front, but the side profile and rear I do like

contrast top sheds light on how cool a drop top could look.

very possible the color is not helping here. The lines are harder to make out.

Don't like it, but even worse for me is that I feel the look is underwhelming. Wife's worst nightmare came true.

Borrowed interior and tech from current Altima's are expected, I'll take it.

Brakes are nice, hope they don't cost a kidney.

Still can't wait to see it in person, maybe wife and I will feel differently in person

absolutely hate the front. side looks nice. unsure about rear. interior looks good.

I think I just need to see it in a different color because I'm not sold yet. Also specs and price.

Hard to see the curves with this neon green/yellow....why this color for unveiling?

Very disappointed in the appearance. I'll withhold judgement until I see it in person, but I don't love it like I expected to, and I'm not ready to pull out my checkbook.

Half an hour in, and all they've told us is V6 TT with 6MT.

This presentation is pretty terrible. I'm out. I'll catch up when it's over. LOL

I like it!! I just don't love it....

I'm hoping the Nismo version looks better. Hoping they keep the 6/4 brake calipers. I like the rims.

In video I will say it looks slightly better. The side profile looks good for sure. The front grille NEEDS to be redesigned though. The rear isn't dreadful, but it doesn't look like a sports car when looking at it behind. Too blocky.

Looks like they just put a new skin on the current model.

That said, I kinda like it.
The front is a little weird but the rest is definitely an improvement, especially the interior.

It's seems that chrome "Katana sword" is here to stay, not just a bad dream.

too much talk on design and not much on specs........ not sure.....
left me going is oh.... maybe it will look better in person.... but come on, what are the specs

Price, availability, horsepower???

I'm thinking the same thing.

I have not made any comments in this thread. After watching the reveal, here are my thoughts.


The manual is awesome of course.

I approve!

Nissan needs to take a lesson from Andreas Preuninger or Gordon Murray on a proper unveiling.

Winner.....winner......chicken dinner. There is not much wrong with the 370Z frame structure. It's a little porky, but it's stiff. The rear camber curve needs changed.

I really like it - my only reservation on the exterior is the grille; but I'm sure the aftermarket will take care of us. Love the interior; was not expecting a virtual dash.

Providing the performance is as we expect (300/400hp, manual [obviously included - yay], and nicely tuned handling), I may really consider dropping into a new Z instead of my original plan of a used Lotus (used, and twice the price...).

If the under pinning isn't changed too much from the 370Z. This will be a tuner's dream. As some parts from the 370Z will fit. I see a lot of bumpers being made for it.

This is one of the most clumsy release events that I’ve ever watched.
I hope the quality of this release doesn’t speak to the quality of the car.
Almost an hour so far on “the heritage”. Please kill me now.

I can’t watch anymore. I’m going to go watch paint dry.

Ummmmm. Can you buy the quarter panels, fenders, bumpers and hood and fit it to mine? Lol.

First impression, same chassis as the z34, 3.0 TT, and a mish mash of design cues from a variety of z generations.

Redo the grill please. It is ugly. I get the need for cooling but a large rectangular cut out does not cut it. Keep the headlights and the hood, I like it, saved money on the door panels by using the same ones used on the z34's. Hope Nissan updates these doors. Rear looks fine. I get the paying homage to the 300z but would have like if they made it something more unique to the z35. Rear quarter panel does not have the hips flaunted by the z34. Didn't open the hatch so its probably the same inside. Car probably weighs north of 3300 lbs. Why no admission of using cues from the z34?

Is this Z going to disrupt the segment? I don't know. Depends on how much more they put into it when it goes out. If I buy one of these at its current state, my wife will ask why did you not buy a Porsche instead.

I'm listening to it. Every once in a while. I'll watch it for a few seconds.

Nahhh … I'll keep my 370.

Geez, no information about the car....

Can we at least agree on this: the level of disappointment for some on the styling of the new Z doesn't equal the overall negative reaction of the sport car fans when the Supra was unveiled?

We are all going to be the harshest critics; but I don't envy the design chief and the rest of the folks there in Nissan's Z Team - it's an impossible task to deliver a car that hits everyone's subjective styling cues.

I had to sit through an hour of that crap to not get the specs of the car :gtfo2:

I slit both my wrists 20 minutes ago. :eek:

I swear this feels like a bad “Saturday Night Live” skit.

Concur ^^^ - the unveiling event itself left a lot to be desired.

This was also virtual - there was so much more Nissan could have done to really set this live event off (kewl intro music, anyone?)...

It’ll be ok. You’ll get that hour back when the time changes in a few weeks.

Or at least sock puppets.

Yes, the unveiling was awkward and the hosts were..interesting to say the least. Did you all really expect #s and other relevant specs?? I certainly did not.

That being said...I'm SOLD! I love my 370Z Nismo in and out and this new Z is more of a refresh than a redesign which is perfect for me. This is all subjective, but I'm so glad to look forward to this. To me, the new Z is basically the current Z that pays respect to the older models yet has a modern touch. It's perfect!

Well, I expected to at least get the name of the car.

Nope. I want my 350 back. :crying:
