Nissan unveiled the new Z car today. I don't like it much at all. A convertible is planned. Pricing will start under $30,000.

SPECS:
- 3.5-liter VQ-series V6 producing 260-plus horsepower
- 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
- Estimated 0 - 60 mph time of less than 6.0 seconds

The exterior looks like a combination of the Celica (lights) and a TT (shape).

I think it is Fugly.

Hmmmm, not bad but not exactly what I was hoping for. Hope they make some design changes before it goes into production. Powertrain sounds good though!
