I’ll fully admit I’m biased. I love the Z. I like them both, but I’m keeping the one I’ve got. I do like the green but I’m still sticking with my red.

Never understood the hate for the grill when the new Z was firs announced. The new Z is full of retro elements and the grill was that - and it perfectly fits this car. It seems like a lot more people actually like it than previously thought.

I think it was probably just one or two popular car youtubers that probably complained so everyone latched on to that.

I prefer my Performance grille, but would like it better if I could get a full horizontal slat filler rather than the mixed shapes opening it has now. Something more like older performance modded 240/260's.

The Nismo grill does it for me. I like the sleek line.

I’m still with the most aggro OG grille camp, harks back to the 240Z best! Pure and simple.

I agree with this. It's all personal preference but I love my 2024 grille as is without any garnish. I like the 2027 grille less than previous years with the only exception being the newer Nismo grille.
I'd take the z logo over the nissan logo
