I saw my first legacy Z in the wild yesterday. It must have been really new, as it had the paper CA DMV plate. I have to say the front end of the Z looks so much better on the legacy edition. I'm surprised Nissan has not changed all the Z models to that front end.

It's an option now for the 2026 models to have that grill.

I totally disagree with your bumper opinion lol
This! :)

I'm sticking to the OG rectangular grille, it's just soooo 240Z, unique and pedigree! The Heritage just looks too interrupted.

240Zs are close to heart, owned several, I'm sure that's why my choice :wink:

We've had both a 240Z & 280Z, but our take was different. While the grille itself was rectangular and open on the S30, the split on the Heritage fascia fills that line where the S30 bumper was. Finished the appearance out from our POV. To each their own; obviously biased here (see profile). :angel:

Ahhh sure, makes sense. I see it differently of course, those early bumpers were chrome and not part of the main body design, so that's my POV . :wink:

Also true. And I’m not about to chrome it, either. :crackup: Definitely a perception thing.

I bought a new 2024 Herirage two days ago, Got really hooks deal because it’s a 2024. Love it so far. Got the windows tinted today. I’m upgrading the sound system next. Then I’ll start on other things. Love the car so far.
