One would only hope - anyone who buys that would want to use them to escape the public ridicule of being seen in such a piece of rolling ugliness.

I've driven a BN 240Z (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...), and THAT ugly thing is most certainly not a 240Z.

Haha! I would love to see what Clarkson says about the styling of this car. He thought the RX8 has weird styling...wait untill he see's this!

That car is as much a 240Z as the new Charger is the old Charger.

I am no expert in the Z-car lore. But isn't the 350Z an evolution of the 240Z.... 280Z... 300ZX over the years? How could there be a return of the 240Z when the Z is already here for a few years now updated and with a larger engine?
It is like saying the return of the EVO IV or 318i or 911 SC?

I posted about that car a month ago.

Nissan is looking at bringing back the Datsun name as the entry level cars like Scion is for Toyota.

And although the Xlink is a RWD 4 door coupe much like our RX-8s, it was done by a design student as a project that a few engineers at Nissan of Taiwan helped with.

It has as much chance of making production as the next RX-7.

Not really they are two difrent series SX and ZX. for examole if you check http://www.edmunds.com/used/1991/nissan/ you will see they sold both at the same time that year... Anyways I think it looks nothing like what anybody would think a 240 should look like.

Yeah, it's retarded to call it a Z car..

Uh, this was from a design student... yes, studying at Nissan design center, but still, there is nothing officially Nissan (or Datsun) about this. Just a student project.

A friend of mine bought the original 240Z when they first came out and still has it.
Now they shame the name.

Well yeah. But these guys are labelling it as 240Z not 240SX (aka Nissan Sylvia).
