24 Z NISMO & #1 GTR NISMO
here is where the story first originated. since the skyline became the G35 and then Q it makes more sense something like this would happen because it no longer has association with the GTR

A little bit of the Z design language here. It looks a bit like a Z that needs to go on a diet.

Nah, Nissan pioneered the "Floating Roof" years ago - that's just Nissan's corporate design language at work, not Z

Jesus, this is rough.

Just...stop co-opting model names that have legitimate performance roots for bland, uninspired crossovers. I understand that the objective is to entice potential buyers by implying that this is also a sleek performance vehicle (and not a bloated, high-riding 4-door with a hatch), I understand the concept. But who is this persuading??

Is anyone truly buying, say, a Mach-E because they are convinced that it's somehow dynamically related to a low-slung, 2-door pony car?
:rolleyes:
