by comparison to an S30, sorry just don't see it. Going to just have to keep living in the past. My color TV is from 1968 (Zenith), my stereo is 1964 (the Fisher), table radio (playing right now) 1957 General Electric. I am sure this new Z will have fans, good for them, I long for a simple, light, fun to drive GT type car. What would be nice is a Kit car I suppose.

I just wish they would have moved further away from the 370z style. It is clear the effort was very limited.  I guess Toyota rebranding a BMW is just as lame.

 

The industry should also move away from the unbalanced trend started by the  Dodge Magnum with a fat bloated body and small windows/low roof:

Fashion is a funny thing, folk tale of the emperors new clothes comes to mind.

I don't think they can. As far as I know the reason that all the new cars have goofy proportions is due to safety regulations, resulting in the tall, bloated body, and short, small windows. I hate the trend too, but I think it's here to stay. Regulations have ruined cars, and car design, and have been increasingly so for 45 years.

Here's a link to the reveal for today:

Not bad...  

he says it's close to final...  not a prototype

The grill and front fascia is a big whiff IMO. Looks like it should have "FPO" in big letters...maybe the designer got stuck and forgot to come back to it! Headlights aren't doing it for me either. The rest looks pretty good!

Lights look great, the grill not so

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm not too attached to the headlights or brake lights...  we'll see how they go into production with these.

Here's passion for the Z right here:

I'm impressed by the heartfelt personal presentation rather than a canned marketing pitch.
