I really can't decide. Definately some influence from the TT. The slope to the rear is keeps the 300ZX lines. It is sleek though. New Celica styled headlights. Tail lights - look like an exaggerated bit of the Bugatti EB112/EB118. Not bad though over all. Just remember, when Nissan came out with the Z back in...what was it 88/89, the *same* body style lasted for about 10 years. I dont think they will dissapoint the market no matter what goes into production.

That front grill looks terrible, IMO.

this would take a while to grow on me.
I don't think this is the production one.
But then I don't know.

Hmmm... not bad. Retro styling, a bit TT'ish, but looks ok with what appears to be a nice wide stance and hopefully lots of grip. I like the tail lights, what I can see of them, and the fat rear end.

S'ok.

Apart from the grill i like it. Try covering the grill when you look at the pic, i think it changes the whole impression.

It might look better in person or from the front. It certainly looks like the new Celica. Anyone knows the spec?
