2013 Nissan Z
 
This car is looking better, at least in the skin. If they can fix the problems under the skin, well...time will tell. But at least there's some news out that it isn't dead just yet. This hybrid sports car thing sound mighty strange, and surely will up the weight, so I'm far from sold on that direction.

i like it! all depends on the rear. i like the stance of the 370. and i see the resemblance to the eclipse, which is not good, but it all depends on the back-end :) i dig the front

hmm ... anybody notice that there are so many sports cars coming out ?

Dirt_Nasty 02-25-2011 11:00 PM

Eh, still not a fan.

xexok 02-25-2011 11:16 PM

That third headlight just bothers me, without that I think it would look a little better.

I think the 370Z looks better... that looks like a $50,000 eclipse.
Honestly there isn't a car I'd trade my Rx-8 in except for a 370Z.

Very much so... as I browse the mags I get, plus Roundel, web sites like Autoweek, Autoblog, etc, .... I'm struck by just how many new sports cars or sports sedans are either being previewing as near or production ready concepts, or making additions of sports variants of existing cars. Almost all manufacturers are doing this from Fiat to Ferrari.

Once the good times are rolling again (if they aren't already to some extent) I think these companies, with product ready to roll, that will be the big winners.

Mazda seems to be among a few Asian manufacturers unable or unwilling to show/design/create future sporty product. They've been showing pipe-dream 'Style shells' for years now, and the only 'things' to come of any of them are the Mazda 5 and the Mazda 2, hardly anything to get the enthusiasts heart pounding, to say the least. So much for zoom-zoom.

I have heard on good authority that the next Z will look like this. Rumors are it will be released before 2015.

They promised us flying cars, as well :dunno:

Spin9k 02-26-2011 01:09 PM

That splitter should deliver serious downforce...

ASH8 02-26-2011 01:17 PM

Don't know "if" there will be another Z car, the 370 has not exactly been a success (sales wise) except..USA.

Have seen more Series 2's here than 370Z (only one).

The way the price of Oil is going anything which is not a mass seller will be on a long hiatus.

Velocity 02-26-2011 03:55 PM

I usually see a 370z 3-5x per week. I see RX-8s about once per week. I've only seen the new RX-8 2-3 times since it came out.

fuztupnz 02-26-2011 03:58 PM

looks like a bottom feeder fish.

Too long of a nose. No thanks.

dmorales 02-26-2011 06:44 PM

I think it might turn better in real life. But I really don't like the 370Z now. I think the 350z looked better.

I've only seen one Series II Rx-8 in Alabama. Ever. Literally... And it had Georgia plates ha
