Saying that the new 350Z does not photograph well is an understatement.
I owned a 240Z, and it is hard to see any design carry-over whatsoever in the new 350Z? Or am I missing something? Looks like Nissan is simply using the Z brand equity to promote a totally new car? Disappointing.

I see some TT and Lexus SC430 in this design. It's interesting and a departure from their usual mixes, but still the last generation 300ZX owns it.

Yuck, yuck, triple yuck.
I just can't get over how horrid this car is. I've tried to give it the time of day, but every time I look at it, I just want to
. Specs look ok, but it's a face only a mother could love. Performance is only one part of the equation, otherwise we'd all be driving round in F20C powered 1400lb dune buggies! Hmmm...now that's a thought! 
Why do people have to keep making excuses for this car about it's aesthetics needing to be "seen for real to be appreciated?" If it can't look good in photographs, then it's not worth looking at in the flesh. I have a feeling that this one is going to go down about as popular as the 'California 300Z' that they made in the late '80's. I thought Nissan learnt their lesson the first time?
I'm going out now to get some fresh air.......I'm feeling a little queeZy!
