The front of the Z reminds me of this emoji.

It makes me think the designers started at the back and were going to miss the design deadline as they were getting to the front so they drew a few straight lines and said "good enough".

It looks great from every direction but the front to me. I would still drive it though except it is a modern Nissan.

That escalated quickly... I can see dealerships jacking up the prices. Wonder how much cost the manual Zupra

Reading at what the difference between Sport and Per is, the Performance isn't really a great deal. You get a lot of car for $40K. |

^If it doesn't have the LSD and upgraded brakes I'd disagree. HOWEVER, for $10k you can get a pretty nice aftermarket LSD and BBK
What escalated quickly? These prices are dead on what we expected. Manual Supra is probably going to be $60k.

Somebody really needs to make some trim or fogs to fill in those vast expanses of blank space on either side of the grill!

I've said it elsewhere, but the more I look at these, the more I realize there's not enough "more" for me personally to choose the Z (or the Supra) over the GR86. Sure, I'll be slower off the stoplight. Who cares? There's always someone faster. In the meantime, the $10k-$20k I've saved buys a lot of gas, tires, and track days.

Gosh. It'll be losing stoplight races to moms' mini-van.
Where have I heard that before?
