I dislike it. For one, the silhouette is remarkably similar to the 370z, giving off more of a refresh vibe than all new design. Secondly, the high belt line and wonky proportions make it a caricature of the 240. It lacks the e type/2000gt/240z elegance.

I like it, might get one down the line, and as a coupe.

Always did wanna Z, just never had the opportunity to get one.

I know it’s not supposed to be as retro as the bronco.... but yikes that grille. What even is that?

To be fair I like the profile but I just can’t get past the front.

Like the LR Defender - Missed Opportunity to make something cool.

Front End - Awful, Can't stand to look at it.
Rear End - It doesn't make me vomit.
Side View - I'm sleeping already.

In general, it sucks! Give me a 718 and get outta here.

I'm in a number of different car related enthusiast groups, automotive photography groups, etc, and the last couple days, this is how I've been feeling ...

That profile shot is money. That grill is up there with Lexus for the worse design ever.

Looks like a Hot Wheels that hit the dog's water dish and the plastic grill fell off

The OEM-aftermarket front bumper does a LOT of work cleaning up the fugly front end.

I'll say my favorite view of the new Z is the back end. Overall the side profile being essentially exactly the same since the 350Zed came out in the early 2000's was nice but now simply a handcuff for the design space

The curb weights are as follows:

Sport(MT): 1581 (3485 lbs)
Sport(AT): 1610 (3549 lbs)
Performance(MT)/ProtoSpec: 1604 (3536 lbs)
Performance(AT)/ProtoSpec: 1634 (3602 lbs)

There you go, Ford, how you make a Navy paint color look like it isn't just black.

Nice to see Nissan added "Deep Blue Pearl" to the color options. This will be a beaut of a color on Z. Doubly so as Nissan traditionally takes the week off when deciding paint colors (typically just the same 6 colors on every model they make, no matter the model)

I love the new Z! I've got a deposit in on one.

I agree the front grill is a weird one. They made it better by adding some accents to it, but this Fairlady one is fabulous! I wrote message to Nissan saying that the production car should have that grill.
