Did jay spill the beans?

Jay mentions his recent visit to Nissan Japan to view the new 240Z?

"got to tour the design studios and maybe take a guess at what the new 240z might look like...."

Holy $hit batman!!!

Try this link:

It should be the first video entitled "Pebble Beach 2012". If that doesn't work, I used the search box on the upper right and searched for "z". About 1.5 minutes into the video, Jay mentions seeing the new concept for the 240Z. I do hope this is true!

YUK. UGLY. It doesn't look anything like an S30. It's just another import/Infinity. Besides needing two hours to wash & wax, they put the engine in the trunk.

My guess is they'll call the Mini-Z which has been discussed here quite a bit (http://www.motortrend.com/future/future_vehicles/1207_nissan_working_on_mini_z_to_target_frs_brz) the 'new 240z'. Makes perfect sense since Automobile Magazine has compared the FR-S to the original 240z (http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1210_respect_your_elders_1971_datson_240z_vs_2013_scion_fr_s). I agree with the others...I'll keep my '72.

Sorry, I don't have speakers in the office... It will have to wait until I get home.

That mini z appears to have nothing in common with the original, other that maybe 4 wheels and a windshield. It is described as a front wheel drive coupe destined mainly for the Chinese market. I assume it will be badged with a lower case "z".

I don't think that the magazine and Jay are talking about the same car at all... just say'en...
