This is how the new Z should have looked like from the start

Thanks for the chop @Haste! What does everyone think if this design?

Maybe we should get a top or bottom poll going?

Ok

I put an Audi grill on the Z and did a comparison poll on my IG page. The rectangular grill loses again…

Might be an Audi grill but it reminds me too much of Hyundai

For sure…whether it’s an Audi grill or a something resembling a Hyundai, people prefer them over the rectangle.

Ok

I vote neither cuz...

Stick a number plate on it and see what happens then.
I think the squared off shape of the bottom one works best with number plates…and there is no getting around having one here, it’s mandatory

Hmmm….interesting I do kinda like the top one now.
But I hate the way the bar looked on the orange exclusive ….so I’m still not sold.

The guys on the VW forum really seem to like this chop.

Nope, still like the released versions front…I would go so far to say I hate the bar
what in the heck is the extra mirror for, that just looks silly….and as discussed before, the black hood looks like it’s imitating the mustang.
Nope, Nope, Nope

The only changes I would make to the final design would be to curve the edges of the grille opening similar to how the orange one did, and add fog lights in the corners. The corners look empty without fog lights or vents.

I think the best of both worlds is where its at. It fixes the boxiness of the original design, but still doesnt feel overstyled.

I think this is spot-on!!!!!
