400Z
What say ye?
I'm not a fan of all of the styling elements, but it looks (to me) a hell of a lot better than the abomination that is the new Supra. And I'm glad there is another manual-gearbox sports coupe coming out. Given it's a Nissan there will probably be one or more major flaws that make the overall package really unappealing |

Looking at other pics of it, that is by FAR the most flattering angle and lighting I've seen for that car

yeah I guess nice that they are making it and even offering a manual. Doubt they will sell any.
I looked at the previous gen but never excited enough to put up with only 2 seat.s |

This is still just a concept, but one has to think it's pretty close to production-ready at this point. I wonder if it will hold any relevance in the market - it's likely to be marketed as a cheaper alternative to the Supra. The Supra at least seems to have a pretty stellar engine, transmission and chassis. |

I've seen that general side profile often enough in other 2-seat sports/sporty cars that it doesn't do much for me anymore. Not saying it's ugly. Just "yeah, that's OK I guess".

I mean it's very, very similar to the 370Z and 350Z.
