[QUOTE=TwiBlueG35,Oct 5 2005, 04:43 PM]I personally like many Japanese cars stylings, but not so much for European. Many Alfa, Fiat, Peougeot, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Volvo, Saab, Renault, Lotus vehicles look pretty ugly to me. In my opinion only BMW and Ferrari really suits my taste. I think Japanese cars don't have a consistent family look, but doesn't mean they don't look good. Especially many late japanese models, look very very good. Some very good looking ones I could think of are G35 coupe, S2000, FD RX-7, R33 Skyline GTR, Lancer Evoluton VII/VIII/IX,

I'm fairly certain the R35 will be a backwards step from the R34. The R34 looked good being bold and subtle, where these drawings are outlandish and obnoxious.

Yuck.

to all the posts about "nice looking" cars. beauty is subjective so the arguement will never end, its pointless.

to the post above, i think the R34 is pretty busy compared to its previous generations (R33, R32) which is why the R33 is my favorite skyline. the headlights, tail lights, and spoiler of the R34 are pretty "in-your-face". and the GTR wont look like that drawing, i have no proof of that opinion, but it just wont. more likely to be a G35 imitation.

It will look close...just not as "flat" (greenhouse). I had a feeling they'd keep the look similar to the first GT-R concept of '01. Especially since thats the only official product from Nissan.

I've never seen a company go "totally, totally different" from their initial concept. Take the S2000 for example. How many years had passed since the concept first appeared, and the prototype showed up?

I like.

After the bean counters get a hold of it, this will be the result

Next GTR

That is just your lame opinion, hence doesn't make it a reality or fact for everyone else. Just the other day, I saw a black RX7 and even though it must've been at least 10 yrs old, it was stunning looking. Even the design doesn't seem outdated by today's standards. Compare it to most other cars, they all look very outdated if made in the mid-90's. The Supra doesn't look very dated either.

I could name many Japanese cars that have beautiful designs, NSX being one of them. On the contrary, I don't find most BMW's and MB's and domestics to be very beautiful looking. Even the E46 M3, it doesn't look sporty enough. It looks just like an ordinary sedan but with a little flare to it. It's even more true for the E36 M3, which looks like a Corolla sedan. It was also made from the mid '90s.

You have your opinion and I have mine. But if you don't think the RX7 and NSX have beautiful designs, especially for their times, you're blind as a bat.

For some, straightline performance is not everything.

Instead of comparing it to the Z06, a better comparison would be against the new E90 M3 and Cayman S.

Problem is that the Z06 wasn't designed for straightline performance either. Even the previous Z06 destroyed the Rx-7 and S2000 at the autocross.
