Wonder what the production car will look like. I saw the unveiling video and they called the car in your pics the Z concept. So some smoothing over may occur. And the interior will likely change and have more nissan off the rack parts.

Looks a bit funky to me. Something right out of the Jetsons.

the only way i would consider buying it, is if they keep those 20" wheels, the interior, and the engine. but i guess you gotta give it to nissan, if it makes it out of concept, like the local dealer here in town said it might. i mean a 260+ engine, rear wheel drive, 6-speed manual, decent styling, and all under 30,000, then i believe nissan will have a true contender. i might get it as a secondary car, but still keep my "S".

Good looking car. It will be toned down some for production.
My very first car was a 1972 240-Z. I drove the hell out of it and nothing ever broke. I drove it coast to coast twice.
Good to see Nissan back in the mix. Competition makes it better for all of us.

From what I been hearing... the exterior from this concept is gonna remain very very similar in production form. But Im sure the interior will change tons.
Think MDX... the exterior was barely changed in production... but of course... that radical interior was updated a lot.

I could forsee being blinded (or at least annoyingly distracted) by all the shiny surfaces in the interior.
Metallic rotten-tangerine is intersting as an exterior color. It's nauseating as an interior color.
Throwing practicality and functionality out the window, I like it!

Did you notice the pop up nav, funky door handles, and signal integrated mirrors (ala MB)? Lets see if they stick around for the production version, not to mention the 20" rims. I wonder how they're planning on bolting on a front license plate holder without screwing up the look.

Soooo, any ideas on when this will actually make it to market? I think if they change the grill and a few parts of the interior it'll be a good car. I like the hideaway navigation, but it's a little too jetsons inside (and I normally love the jetson look too).
