Just unveiled and from this picture, my first impression is that it looks like a Crayola crayon box was used to select the colors:

I would still like to see a retro version of that.

It seems that the 370 is leaning that way... and that's a good thing

The headlights are completely different between the new z's and old. That is one of the key design points.

I like it. Maybe now I can afford a used 350Z ~

I like the old 240's better... [bow_down]

Precisely why my Mustang doesn't move all winter. RWD sporty type cars with no ground clearance and fat, low-profile tires suck balls on anything but dry, warm pavement.
I sorta dig the styling of the 370, much more so than the 350. Not enough to run right out and buy one, but it's a good mix of disctinctive-new and retro.
I do get a strong impression of the old 240z. I always wanted one of those....sort of...
You know I think I like the looks of the 350z better still.

i'll wait for the stig to have his way with it
and see how it fairs around the top gear track
Unfortunately still looks pretty porky. I'll stick with my Honda S2k.
There is something kinda "wrong" with the shape. And I can't tell exactly what.
It's like they tried to give it the things people usually like -- sloping rear roofline, flared fenders, etc.
But they don't work together-- just looks a little awkward.
Maybe I'm just getting old and used to the old designs but they jump out immediately and say, "Yeahhh!!"

I'm thinking the same thing however when seen in person maybe it'll work better.

My Trans Am is my year round car..Even with traction control, I definitely have to be careful when it's raining. Fortunately, we don't get much, if any, snow here.
I like it, the trunk and wing look better than what is on the 350z
Here are a few new shots:

Those new shots definitely are more reminiscent of the 240Z....
