There is definately some design ques taken from Infiniti’s FX (rear lights, slight down-ward slope of the roof line, etc…).

It’s tidy. The proportions are vintage but the fascia is bleeding edge. Even the color is designed to make you think back.

The side DLO is straight off the Skyline.

Does anybody remember in 1999 when Nissan was thinking about introducing a new Z car and they made a 240Z concept that had a KA24? And people somehow thought it wasn’t true to the original because it had a 4 cylinder and not a six, failing to see that having two less cylinders was less of an issue than having similar mass to all of Texas?

I wish that car was built. And priced starting around $20,000. I wish there was a picture of it somewhere online–I remember it being a very fresh throwback to the 240Z. It was more of a Z car than the current 350Z. Although I guess, gradually, the concept of the original Z has withered away…

God that’s ugly. I hate the new Nissan theme of the slant roof (like on the GTR) it looks like shit and is a very unagressive “oh I’m stoned slouched in a couch” type cue.
