Hmm not sure I'd say that lol The G35/37 are cars I've never really enjoyed.

The car feels more like a mix of the Miata and S2000 but does have extra (although limited) practicality. I'm not sure there's any previous cars that I'd really be able to draw a family tree from for this car.. most likely would be some of the great JDM cars of the 90s but even then it's quite different from those.

By the numbers it seems like a RWD ITR, but in terms of practicality, rawness and the focused nature of the ITR it doesn't compare. On the flip side compared to a G35/G37 it's much more raw and focused, but still with less practicality. Compared to the S2000, it feels similar but is more practical.
