Their models have been extremely underwhelming. I haven't sat in anything the was newer than 2016, but their CVTs are awful and the interiors were rental-grade. To be fair, they were rentals but still.
It does look like they pursue price point rather than outright quality.
Their lineup reminds me of Mitsubishi, outside of one model (GTR/Evo) there is nothing I would imagine buying from them.

Yah i agree.. it needs some major overhaul.. just not a play on the current design..
That design has been around for so long that if the changes are not dramatic... it will not feel like a change at all.
But i hope it does not look like this as on the C&D page. But if the C&D is correct about the powertrain.... the 400hp in the Redsport has been around for years... not a lot of ppl cared since its performance is on par with 335hp B58...
I hope Nissan would re-tune that 3.0T and add a 6mt that you cannot get in Supra, Z4 or TT... . https://www.caranddriver.com/nissan/400z

When we were shopping for a used 3 row for my wife, we nearly got a Pathfinder or QX60. Value for dollar seemed strong, it drove nice, and I did like my 08 EX35 and 07 350Z Roadster. That was until I did only a little research. What a mess those CVT's are. I'd never buy a Nissan with one.
Personally, I think that looks pretty good.

Reminds me of an Aston Martin somewhat esp. with that front.

Guess I like sea creatures?! Lol. It looks better than the new Supra. Doesn't matter as I'm sure this is just a mock, but I still think it looks clean. And if they put the Red Sport 400hp V6TT with a manual trans, all for a bit less than the new Supra, I think it'll do pretty well. As a previous Z owner, I hope they hit this out of the park.

I like it too. Agreed on the Aston resemblance, though I'm seeing it mainly in the greenhouse and dem hips.
I prefer it over the Supra as well, and I actually like the way the Supra looks. This design is much cleaner, devoid of fake vents.
The headlights are too far apart though.

Odds are they'll go off the rails & put the new Rogue face on it & make the Z overly angular... [/redtext?]

I sure hope not. I have a soft spot for '90s Nissans and older sports cars, I just want them to recapture some of that old magic.
Corporate grilles across the bread-and-butter models, sure. Or if it implemented well. I can't see that looking great on the Z though?
