me think it's ugly.

I could barely live with some parts here and there of the whole car, but it isn't working. the 350Z is surely better looking in the wild than in pics, but this is factory-ready for ricers' applications.

Those seats are wild. Just be happy they didn't give it a GTR front.

The lights and the "fangs" on the grille looks odd. But the lines looks good, kinda in the same way the Z4 Coupe does. It also looks smaller....

I read where they're wanting to go after Porsche....now I can see they have brought the 350Z design closer to a 997.

my first thought was Cayman, but it's almost the same

I'll stick my head out and say I think it looks way better than the 350. My main problem with that car is that I've always thought that it's too simple and unadventurous looking. A vast improvement with some really nice lines (especially the shape of the windows and the way they merge into the boot) in my opinion.

The worse part imo is the round rear. It's just too round. I could live w/ everything else I guess. The roofline has an even sharper slope due to the strong angle at the front, that's the most influence the gt-r has had it seems.

I hope it weighs less, then I'd consider it more.

roofline , door and side windows and overall proportions are pretty damn good-pure Z. (except for that horrid cut they did to the roof to follow that door line all the way to the top of the rear window)

the bubble butt and the huge wheel arches look old now, as do the weird-ass lights, which are just awkward and guaranteed not to age in a dignified way.

the tuner-approved fascias are in my view horrid but an average 370 buyer will probably love them, as they´re designed for the owner who wants the tuned look but won´t "tune" the car himself.

Me, I would have preferred a retro styling over this. At least the old 240 had nice proportions and tasteful detailing. besides, everyone and their mama´s doing it and nissan was the original retro car trend setter with the Figaro.

I think it looks good, but could do with a rear wing and some graphics

If they keep the price similar to 350Z levels than it'll be good.

I think Nissan have had problems advancing some of their recent designs...and I knew the 350 would be difficult being one of the most industrial of their line.

The headlights are really weird I think. The rear end is nice though.

Better than the 350 by far. I don't know what it was but the old 350z taillights were ugly, these are....interesting.
