I thought I was the only one that did not swoon over the styling of the Z. The car just looks to thick and chunky to me with that bulldozer front bumper and little cabin roofline that reminds me of a pimple in profile. And that roofline slopes way to long to the back end. Must have been copied from a ski ramp. I think the back end is kind of nice though. If you put a Z and a Crossfire together and asked which one was the follow on to the original 240Z I would have picked the Crossfire if I didn't know better.

The only car more common than a Z in San Diego is the G35. The only thing in San Diego more common than a G35 is a toaster. I'll maybe see one other Crossfire a month in San Diego and it's probably one of the same 2 or 3 that are out here.
