Posted February 9, 200223 yr comment_2855 I have seen the Z......and it is good. Not great, but looks much better in person than in pictures. The biggest surprise is that it looks NOTHING like an Audi TT, I was really amazed. Kept looking at all angles trying to see what we've all seen in the pix. Still don't like the front end, and the door height is too high. I talked the spokesmodel into letting me stand by the car when the show was closing (see pic below- sorry it's not sharp, my buddy was standing too close to the model I think). I'm 5'10" and the door is higher than my belt-line. Couldn't get in the car but the interior looked very nice. The spokesmodel said this was very close to the production Z but not optioned out like any of the new packages. All-in-all, it's a pretty cool car, easily the best in its price range. But hey, this is a forum, have at it: Check out the pix below; Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 9, 200223 yr comment_2864 Great pictures. I kinda like it. I llike the front better than the back. I dont like the tall big rounded rear ends... on cars. But they seem to be in vogue. As for the doors being too high, that would be, in my opinion, classic zcar design. They are too high for my liking in the 240. I thought about putting a few spacers under my seats to raise them up so I can see out. Cant wait to see it in person.Ernest Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/#findComment-2864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 9, 200223 yr comment_2885 Jennifer's looks fine, this one doesn't. No character!! Front is the same, no lines to break up the monotony of the un-ending curves. Side view looks better. Of course that's just my opinion. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/#findComment-2885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
