That and the c pillar kink, and the fact that it's much shorter overall, and the engine, and the interior.

Othewise, it's barely new.

Oh, it's likely the lights will look very similar to the chops based on the maxima redesign.

I hate the new Nissan headlights. The new roof line is copying the GTR right? I want to see a side view of the car.

It looks right, but I still don't like renderings.

God damn those lights are hideous. That is quite comical, in fact.

I like the idea of make the lights flow with the rest of the lines of the car. But the way it's done here is hard to get used to, for now.

Help me out ere. I think these are the most accurate and best quality chops, yet they dont look as aggressive as spyshots...what's missing?

Hmm, my guess is that the rear is done a little sloppily, and there's a lack of lighting which makes it look semi-cartoonish. Yeah, the rear just looks out of place here. I mean, it's got the right details, it's just missing that authentic look.

It's really just cartoonish looking I think.

The rear fender is much more pronounced and flared in the spy shots.

The Z-car has been one of the best sports car values for years. I owned a 350z roadster before my E93 and really enjoyed it. Not as much as my 335i, mind you, but it was a fun, fun car. I'm not sure if I like the new headlights but the roofline is interesting. Can't wait to see one on the street!
