Besides being the location of Nissan's US HQ, the mountain roads are really great for developmental work (Tail of the Dragon area, etc). A few years ago I actually saw a preproduction Bronco Sport out there. Go figure about a CUV and mtn roads, but hey good for Ford

It must have been a demo then. The Z only shows on the "future and concept" section of the US website, and you have to really look to find it there.

This car has been a topic here for 28 months now?
https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140118

I don’t think there’s issue of continuous refinement happening to. Car has been finalized for how long? I don’t care about Toyota Subaru enough to make them a bench mark but the new BRZ 86 got done. What’s the deal Nissan?

i like the simplicity of the rear end. the supra looks like a transformers in contrast.

but the z's front looks like me playing charades when the clocks about to run out. the individual pieces make sense, but don't appear cohesive with the rest of the car.

The more expensive car does in fact look more expensive.

I would prefer either two behind them, but if I had to decide between the two, I would take the Supra for the straight six and the premium build--manual edition of course. I do like the Nissan's simple lines and proportions minus the front bumper, but the Supra has a weird front bumper too.
