It is absolutely as good as you are going to get in 2020+
If this level of design is what we can expect of Nissan moving forward, then I'm excited.

Do not attack me like this
Wouldn't it be nice if they resurrected the Z32 platform, put a modern engine and tranny in it and started selling them again.... sign me up, I'll buy it.
It was one year ago last week I sold my 240sx convertible I had been driving since 2001. That was painful to do but with close to 350,000 miles, the rust was taking its toll and since I now drive 85 miles round trip back and forth to work, the gas mileage wasn't that great by today's standards so I had to let it go.
And now a shop about five minutes up the street has a shiny, silver Z32 for sale sitting out front of their shop. If I didn't have a wife that car would be sitting in my garage where it belongs....
I think it looks a lot better than the ugly yellow with black glass roof prototypes that were shown a few months ago. 400 HP should really make it a great performer. A 6 speed manual would be a desirable option for people who know how to drive one.
I had a 2009 370Z that I bought new and drove for 10 years and about 85,000 miles. It had the 6 speed manual. I always felt that while it had plenty of get up and go with 337 HP, another 50 HP would be better. They only problem I encountered was the well known failure of the clutch slave cylinder, which in my case happened out of warranty and cost about $1400 to repair.
My biggest complaint about it was cabin noise. It was difficult to have a conversation with a passenger without talking in a very loud voice, the Bluetooth phone function was practically unusable as not only was it hard to hear the person on the other end, but they complained that they could barely hear me over the background noise. And while the ride was comfortable on long trips, the noise level was fatiguing. Many owners went to the extent of having the entire interior ripped out and Dynamat installed. There was no difference in noise between the original Yokohamas or Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I would hope that Nissan addressed the cabin noise level on this new model. It was ridiculous on the 370Z.

We are going to have to agree to disagree, but I have always said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The front just does not do it for me.

The current GM LT1 is the 6.2 used in the Camaro SS. There is also the supercharged LT5.
Current 6.2 LT1
At the rate I appear to be aging there might not be one it seems. Jeez.

More importantly, does it have a JATCO CVT in it?
Haha, yeah.The 60's are that way
According to Road & Track, it will have a stick shift and around 400 HP. That sounds like a fun combo, if the car is not too heavy,
I mean, that's cool and all, I remember when GM did that 20 years ago.
It looks fast sitting stiil. And fun!

Man if that Z32 was anywhere near me I’d grab it in a heartbeat (unless you got to it before I did haha!!)
I agree,the Z32 was a work of art. The ergonomics were absolutely flawless!!
