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: Edited September 15, 2020 by 240260280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliekwin Posted September 16, 2020 Share #31 Posted September 16, 2020 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 16, 2020 Share #34 Posted September 16, 2020 Yeah, I'm not too attached to the headlights or brake lights... we'll see how they go into production with these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zKars Posted September 16, 2020 Share #36 Posted September 16, 2020 I'm impressed by the heartfelt personal presentation rather than a canned marketing pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
