It seems like a very composite image to me. There are lots of bits borrowed (370Z Nismo wheels, back to the first 350Z bonnet, 370Z 'shrunk' door mirrors). No fangs!!! I think they were desperate to put a picture up and someone made it one afternoon!

As to whether I like it - Hmmm... Overall I think I do but some bits just don't work for me.

You say all that Paul, but where did the 370 come from. It's only a revamp of the 350, this would just be the next step. They just keep taking what they have and adding and subtracting.

Sure, I know what you are saying but the bonnet grates with me. The rest of the car has been smoothed off (the side looks a bit 'Aston Martin' to me) but the bonnet has sharp folds in it.

I know the fangs are controversial but they are unique and it would be a shame to lose them - although they do make styling in DLRs tricky.

Quite like it but doubt if that image is accurate.
Unsure about hybrid drive trains and don't think it would be on sale in the UK before 2015.

Yeah i agree it probably needs a few styling tweaks here and there :thumbs: , but that gives us something to do.......the zed owner,where we can get modifying and add the personal touch to the cars. :D

Yeah, it's very composite, i don't think they tried hard enough, it "stinks" of GTR.

That's the first time I've seen that image but to me it looks like its lost it's muscle car looks and dare I say it looks a little "middle of the road" styling remotely reminding me of the BRZ thing Subaru and Toyota are bringing out this year.
It looks a little too understated and mature to be a Z to my eyes
