I do like the looks of the interior. Frankly I have always felt that the S is a little barren. I like the gauge cluster in the Z. It also looks like that a nav screen will be available on the Z. I still own a 240Z. It was a great car in its time.

Very interesting... very futuristic. It would be a gutsy move for me to buy it. I like more traditional lines myself but it's not ugly.

They need to loose the wiper on the back window or at least make it an option. It really detracts from the overall lines. Besides, if you want stuff off the back window just go faster.

I actually enjoyed the prototype Z that was displayed at the LA auto show at the beginning of this year.

The translation to the "real car" doesn't work for me, though. The wheel arch to beltline area is too off for me. It kind of looks squished in some areas and the elongated in others. Not a pure design. And I don't think it looks as good now (and certainly won't ten years later) as the last gen Z car did. That was a great design.

I will say that I'm very glad that Nissan is getting back into the performance market here in the US. The more the merrier I say and competition can't help but make every car maker that much better. So bring it on.
