If the 2022 Pathfinder and Rogue have the same square front grille design, would y'all be pissed off?

From very beginning, I like it and I still like it today, but I can't say I love or hate it. I think the front end isn't too flashy and look a lot better than the 370z

I think that they should keep this overall design language unique to the Z if the whole point is to pay homage to prior generation Z's. Seems unnecessary for other models in the lineup to pay tribute to the 240Z by sharing the same grill.

Unlike Acura, putting their corporate SUV face on the new Civic, er, I mean Integra

^ Depends. It can mean different things to different age groups.

There the original Hasselhoff Knight Rider which was okay for the era. But the couple of follow-on TV-movies were horrible and KITT became an ugly bright red Pontiac and then worse!

Then there was the truly awful Team Knight Rider ... least said about that atrocity the better!

Next was the rather silly reboot Knight Rider version where KITT was a Ford Mustang and a massive team of people knowing about it.

Somewhere in there was a computer game version.

Plus, there's another reboot, possibly a cinema movie, in the very early pre-planning stages, which may or may not actually get made.

For some reason it's never occurred to me that one day I would encounter a Knight Rider nerd..... :D

Only the original 80's series matters! (theme song playing in my head)

I initially disliked the front grill immensely. But after seeing it in person at the Sema show, that changed my mind a bit. Still not 100% on board.

But after seeing the customized proto from TAS, I knew they could do so much better. I hope this bumper is available in the future.

Great design shouldn't have to grow on you.

I was going to make a KR reference, but then I realized it's a generational thing..... and I'm getting old! Half the people on here wouldn't know what Knight Rider is.
Idk id imagine the majority of people on here arent too young and know KR. Unless kids these days can afford mid 40k cars haha. Perhaps I was doing something wrong growing up ?.

I remember the first time I saw a Z32......
