Hmmm ... Not sure about that yet. Kind of reminds me of the Chrysler Crossfire.

Hello Nissan 370, which I like any way. Interesting and a bit of a shock but the coupe is a welcome for sure and this style will likely grow on 99% of nay-sayers with in 3-5 years.

lol wow,

When i saw that, I immediatly got cues from the Lexus LF-A, the 370Z, the BMW Zcoupe, and the cayman.

No where in there was ANYTHING near that POS crossfire, seriously, WTF??





Anyhow, this 86 def looks better here than the earlier concept/prototypes, def better than I expected, hopefully the fun and performance will match the looks

well yes, it has the shape of a 2 seater sport coupe. Like a Porsche Cayman or BMW Z4 coupe or even an 370Z, I suppose you can include the crossfire because its a small 2 seater coupe. But Im actually pleasantly surprised at how much smaller this car is, the last prototype was clearly a much larger 4 seater coupe. This one looks like a full on 2 seater. this car just got alot more interesting

Hmm, Maybe my monitor sucks but it is kinda hard to see the lines when it is a dark color like that.

Overall it looks pretty good though.
