All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

The 350Z’s rendition of the big rectangular maw was much better executed.



The new one falls into the trap of straight up copying retro styling rather than adapting it to a modern rendition. Kinda like how a PT cruiser copies that style, and a Miata adapts the styling of British roadsters.

I don't know about down there but up here they are advertising the living crap outta this car. There is a TV commercial on about every 10 minutes through primetime and that ain't cheap. The banner ads pop up every now and then for me and even the radio has ads running. If it doesn't sell it won't be for lack trying on their part!
I haven't seen a single Z specific commercial down here. All I've seen are the Nissan commercials (showing off entire model line) with a smug Brie Larson driving.

Man, so many bummers about this. >45k and still struggling to get them out a couple years later? The twin seems like a super good deal in comparison.
