I like all of them except the silver Fairlady Z concept, but I really like the orangey one!!!!

I'll bet I could mod my 77 280 to look like that.

I highly doubt they will go with any of the design that is based off of the 240z retro look. As much as I like the way it looks, the design is way too close compare to the 240z. There would be no point of remaking the 240z with newer technology.

Its like saying mazda is gonna release a new RX-7 with a better rotary engine along with some minor exterior design tweaks. I would love that idea, but it will not happen.

Most of those wouldn't pass the bumper impact requirements. Plus aren't new pedestrian impact reqs. coming into play? (I've heard Honda use that excuse for the new Accord front end)

That would be so cool!! Take a page from the Mustang, and design a retro yet new version. Those Mustangs sold like hot cakes too.
