well i like the styling and performance should be good with 260hp but not record braking..the price seems reasonable too, i think if this car hits the street, it gonna be very popular, but it´s still no replacement for the 300ZX turbo....i feel this car can use more(we all could) power like 320hp or something..anyway nice car.....

What's happening to the japanese designers? Did they lose all their imagination?

Both the new Nissan Z and the Toyota MR2 look just like Porsches...

I think the new Z looks reasonable though not stunning.

I would however mention that it looks far more like an Audi TT then a Porsche 911.

Ninja, i dont think that an average "family" would own a car that small.

Porsche God, i dont favor japanese cars either but they dont suck; ex: Acura 3.2 Tl has performance that rivals even the BMW 5 series (i would always take the 5 over it tho). I would agree with Euros and Vipers tho.

FrictionX, they might have but in Japan production cars have a limit of 280 or 300 hp i think.

User, i totally agree, i noticed that right away from both cars the 1st time i saw them.

Calibandar, get a new sig.

I'm still pondering on whether I should ignore you or actually honour you by giving a split second of my attention.

Since I have done the latter, that should be enough.
