February 9, 200223 yr comment_2889 I'm shocked all to hell to admit this, but I kinda like it. It does look way better than the magazine and promo shots would have you believe... probably has something to do with the Kubrickesque camera angles they use.However, holey criminey! How big is that thing?!!?!? Looks roughly the size of a GM F-body.Maybe know we know what The General is doing with the leftover parts.Kyle'72 240Z project Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/?&page=2#findComment-2889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 9, 200223 yr Author comment_2890 I'm 5'10" so that gives it a little scale, it's probably about the same size as a 2 door Honda Accord, maybe a little smaller. I'd really like to see it in another color, if you play around with the colors on the nissandriven site the car really takes on different looks.If the convertible shows up that should really be interesting....

February 9, 200223 yr comment_2909 The interior looks appealing. I assume it is leather. What was behind the seats? flat storage ?Ernest Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/?&page=2#findComment-2909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 10, 200223 yr comment_2927 Not sure I like it just yet. Have to see it up close. I didn't like the gold color i've seen but the silver looks better. Front end, I don't know. It just doesn't look Z like. As far as door height, this may be a boon for the older generation that I assume they are trying to appeal to. I know that in the years that have passed since I bought my '73 Z it does get harder to get out of the low slung cars. I guess I was hoping to see a Z that had more similarity to the original. Anyway, never say never. I may wind up with Z's 30 years apart.

February 10, 200223 yr Author comment_2932 yep, flat space with a shock tower brace that runs over it. Not a lot of room, but heh, it's supposed to be a sports car....

February 11, 200223 yr comment_2935 I saw it at the Brisbane Motor Show on the weekend, it is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It has an anamorphous type of look that could be anything - not only a Nissan. The same problem afflicts a lot of new cars I have seen of late. BTW it is much more exciting than anything else on the Nissan stand tho.Greg Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/889-the-new-z-in-person-chicago-auto-show/?&page=2#findComment-2935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 11, 200223 yr comment_2951 If JLo and the 350 where lined up next to each other, and you had to choose between one or the other, which one would you choose?

February 11, 200223 yr comment_2952 She would probably "cost" a lot more in the long run. But I think I'm on your side. Maybe if they hadn't put those triangular lights on it would look a lot better.

February 12, 200223 yr comment_2980 I saw the orange 350Z at the recent Brisbane motor show actually... And I'm not convinced still Better than the pics yes, but too fat.

March 21, 200223 yr comment_4285 Great pictures, Bill. It looks somewhat better than the early version, but it's still butt-ugly. (And I'm not referring to JLo's butt, either.) Did all of the current automobile designers have mothers who were frightened by a big triangle? Seems round and square lights are a thing of the past.
