I can't claim to like the styling much, although I know a lot of people do, but I bet they shift loads of these, coupes and drop-tops - Nissan certainly got the pricing right. For the same price as a basic TT with no extras you can get a fully loaded 350Z.....

agreed, I must confess I am quite taken with the package offered by the new Z. If anything drags me away from the S2000 before I have saved up enough money for a 911 Turbo, then It might well be this machine. Still in love with my S for now, but that Nissan would still turn my head hmmmm m may just have to book a test drive just to check mind you.. .. .. .

Mark,
you`re spot on.....I reckon you might be seeing the new S there, dare I say it......

My theory is.....

Quality looking car, performance, stylish, not a `prestige` brand. A bit like the S, lets face it, if Audi or BMW made the S they`d be EVERYWHERE. I think the Nissan will be the same as that.

(I`d buy one though, without driving it; think its now the most modern looking roadster out there).

I've seen the coupe in the flesh, and it looks very good. I don't think that these will be very exclusive when released though. I would test drive a convertable when the time came to swap my S.

Check out todays Auto Express for photos of the Subaru concept car. This is rumoured to be the new body shell for Subaru - quite attractive in my humble opinion. See here for Press Photos

EDIT: Typos fixed - happy now ?
