Posted August 25, 200816 yr comment_257900 Hey all, It's been a while since I posted on here, a lot has changed in the past few months! I'm not sure if this is old news but my brother emailed me pictures of what looks like a modern 240z. Anyone have anymore info on this?

August 25, 200816 yr comment_257905 Wow, I like it. I think I'd really like it if they cleaned up the front (it's too busy and doesn't match the clean lines of the rest), and made a larger power bulge. I'm also not sure if I'm digging the double-bubble roof on it either. Looks right on a 'Vette or Viper, but I'm not sure about this one.Nice rendering either way. I especially like the back.

August 26, 200816 yr comment_258114 Wow! That is awesome. WAY better then Nissan's concept. I would totally buy that as a 240z. Just as long as it has a straight 6 instead of what Nissan was pulling with their Inline 4. What is kind of interesting is Nissan knew that car would never be, so they could have at least lied and told everyone it was a 2.4L Inline 6! Retards, . I would move the exhaust from the center, and put a pipe on each corner. Like that much better. Dip in the roof would no longer be. The taillight I would make wider.

August 26, 200816 yr comment_258126 Hmmm... Could someone take this and add color and emblems? Make a handful of resolution sizes? I would love to have this as my desktop for a couple weeks! Would do it myself, but no Photoshop in this house hold, plus I don't even know how to use it.

August 27, 200816 yr comment_258141 It's nothing but some designers styling exercise and it has nothing to do with Nissan. It's been discussed to death here and on other sites. Nissan has no plans of producing this car or any other 'retro' 240Z and I doubt that they'd even be aware of this 'mock up'.

Nissan has no plans of producing this car or any other 'retro' 240Z and I doubt that they'd even be aware of this 'mock up'.Still, you have to admit Stephen that it is a nice styling exercise. I personally, like it alot compared to the 350Z. Maybe we should send it over to the good folks at Nissan so they are aware of it. Clean up the front end a bit and keep it void of all the "modern stuff" like GPS, power seats, and assorted other toys. Keep the costs down, put a 3.0 straight 6 in it, maybe traction control, power windows and mirrors and they would have a winner on their hands.

August 27, 200816 yr comment_258156 I have no problems discussing this time and time again, because each time I get to bump up how horrible it looks. The more I look at it, the less good I'm inclined to say about it, but the more I want to let it's ugliness speak for itself As for the 350, it's big, but beautiful IMO.
