Default Re: Well, it's been real.

I think Nissan blew it with the redesign of the Z. The original 240Z was (and is) a gorgeous car. With retro styling being the rage, they should have let history be their guide. The 240, 260, 280, and first generation 300 all kept the classic proportions and general shape. The current car was a letdown to me cuz I'm a big Z fan. It doesn't look like a Z to me. What's with the door handles? It's like they wanted to ape the Audi TT, instead of it proudly looking like a "Z". So it looks like neither - just leaves me cold. I don't doubt it's a fast & fun car, though. With the exception of the last generation Altima, none of the Nissan line has been attractive for years IMO.
