I don't love the gaping rectangle of a front air dam, but don't hate it either. Still not as offensive as the new 4 series lol.
My parents lived in a relatively yuppie-filled condo complex in the 90s where I spent a decent amount of my formative years and I had one young male neighbour in particular who had a beautiful 300ZX in red before he eventually bought a then-new E46 M3. This helped fuel my teenage obsession through the 00's with the 350Z/G35/Skyline, so this redesign is giving me a lot of nostalgia. |

Add in new crash standards and such, I won't be surprised to see it 150 lbs heavier than the 370Z. As long as it has enough space for monster rubber and enough brake, I don't see it as that big of a deal. EDIT: But I'm really disappointed because at first they made it sound like it might go on sale late next year, now it's sounding like late 2022 at the earliest.

The company that brought us the fat af GTR a decade ago and hasn't made any efforts to slim it down sure isn't going to make any efforts to make the Z light. Thing will be a pig.

From what I understand, like the 2nd-gen BRZ is just the 1st-gen underneath with a new engine and bodywork..........the new Z is basically a 370Z underneath with a new engine and bodywork. |

Not to sure about the BRZ. We need more info before saying its just a reskin 1st gen with a 2.4. Right, not saying it won't be as stated in my OP, but you can use an existing chassis and switch up some components. Right now it's just a guessing game, we shall see. |

All I'm seeing is the mention of visual pieces using carbon fiber. Like winglets or a diffuser. Not anything that is going to make any difference when it comes to the weight of the car. |

"Nissan is still tweaking the Compression RTM process, but expects CFRP will show up in unsexy parts like B-pillars as early as their 2024 model year." So unlikely to have any impact on the Z. |

Unlike the new m3/m4 platform the more I look at this car the more I'm beginning to like it. The proportions looks so good.
the only things I dislike about the car is the door handle - There's some weird double outline of the car handle and the panel layout of the a pillar / door / front fender. It has this weird zig zaggy section where those parts all meet together. I think that's the ugliest part of the car. |

I don't see a single difference between these production patent drawings and the concept.

Did not notice the side markers on the rear bumper...I really don't like how they break up that nice bumper-fender line!
