the z has always been like a 90's GM sports car to me. i loved the look from afar with the 240, and the 350, but just from the exterior. this seems to continue the trend where i love the rear of the car, but the interior looks pretty confined and cocoon-ey--like the layout, just too much stuff jammed in, and the front end would make me regret paying money for it...

??? 240Z has nothing to do with 350Z or *any* "90s GM sports car"!

The 240Z feels quite spacious inside even for 6-footers, if you're not especially wide of frame... Also there's room in the hatch for 4 race wheels/tires, tools, helmet and overnight bag. Floor jack goes in the passenger floorboard. Quite the utilitarian sports car!

Love the side profile not a fan of the front but like the rear. I hope it does well. I think its going to be more GT than track focused.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the blue interior? I'd stick with black.

i can't stand color interiors. black or dark grey. that's it.

but white is somehow cynically hilarious to me.

Yeah, white is the last color I'd ever get for an interior. Black, gray, or dark(er) red [for a luxury car].

..and cloth not leather if at all possible.

One exception on the color, if the exterior is green the interior must be tan.
