I like most of the past Zs, but I think the current 370Z is ugly.

I like the pre-facelift 370, the current one looks generic.

I'd say this and the IDx are the same thing. Look at the overall size and shape. The IDx is the same thing, just evolved into an old Datsun style instead of that fugly fat G35/G37 style... Still, the IDx isn't great looking either. I fully suspect it will be the equivalent of a modern Silvia in everything but looks... I just wish they designed it after the S15 instead. A more modern, sleek S15 with the great steering and handling of the FR-S but with the same 250hp as the S15 would be awesome. At 200hp the IDx doesn't sound very exciting unless it is either as light as a Miata or they give us a really stout factory turbo engine that can easily take some extra boost...

Around here it is the same. Everytime we see an twin on the road, me and my fiance always try to guess if it will be an old guy or a young asian driving it. One time it was an old asian guy lol.

I'm asian by the way for future racist comments.

Funny how he comments on it but has no competitor to it right now.

As for the IDx, that is one ugly motherfucker.

X2, even on the local forum pretty much everyone chose the twins over the IDx.

I'm asian by the way for future racist comments.
One time around Brooklyn at a gas station, a black guy comes out of a 6 series and says "You're the only white person I've seen driving these, it's all Asians!"

I couldn't stop laughing, we then proceed to talk about the cars, etc.

Where i live, it's very multicultural, so it's common to notice certain people driving certain type of cars. Is it a bad thing? By no means.

I'm sorry if i offended anyone, but its just my observation and i'm honestly not the only one to notice.

I usually don't like the more "colorful" language ...... however, after looking up that car ...... I totally agree ...... that adjective perfectly describes it .....

Personally, they should bring back the optional 2+2 on the Z cars, it was a good idea on the Z31/32 300ZX
