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!

Because some cars DO have to be seen in person to really get a feel for its aesthetics. For example, I did not like our S2000's when I first saw the pictures in the car mags. I think we can all more or less agree that the S2000 does not always photograph very well. It loses alot of the 'impact' and subtleties that you can see in flesh.
I just like to reserve my judgement till I see one on the street.....not in a glossy showroom, not some pictures, not some brochures....but in person on the street, clean and dirty.
Just my .02 cents.

The G35 coupe will be much nicer concerning the styling. I love the new coupe. Too bad I don't have even the slightest bit of cash for one as a daily.

just wondering what u guys think of it now that u have seen it in person.
It doesn't look appealing in pics, but in person- it looks pretty good. I think the rear end needs help. The rear looks better with the nismo spoiler.
too bad, it is such a lard ass. 3400lbs for track version.

But HEY! I really did like the way the brakes looked through those wheels, though!
