OK. I'm just not sure it was an improvement cosmetically. How's that?

I was done when I read "i'm not sure what is really "identical".. you're talking about the profile which sure, looks 370z-like"

And if you don't like that profile to the point where you wouldn't buy the car, then, well its not an improvement.

What I hated about the 370z (beside the awful head and taillights) was the short and stubby look of the side profile. I think Nissan has done their best to address this with the Z35. The hood looks a little longer and the ass isn't as high and fat.

Because having a similar profile makes it identical? Get out.. think we need to agree what identical means. Regardless of how much you hate the new Z, Nissan deserves some credit to have developed a bigger refresh to their model than either Toyota/Lexus have done with the 86/IS..

i think people need to remember that its suppose to be affordable, rumored to start under $40k. for that price range i think the proto preview looks pretty nice.

There's A-B testing for thumbnails but A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W testing seems a bit much

I agree I've watched several of his videos (not about the 86, but about the CTS and CT5-V Cadillacs) and I've enjoyed them.

The one big thing I learned from this one is he actually does own a pair of pants. I don't think I've seen him in anything but shorts before.

Overall, his detailed description of the front fascia design and side profile has me moving back a little towards like than hate. Based on his description I have to think the Yellow is not doing this car any favor. A lot of the detail he describes is completely lost in photos and videos but I think I will like in person.

Did he take down his first hakone video when he was calling it the hawk-one?
Cuz i know he had another one with the proper pronounciation lol.
