350Z is ugly but they dont want old farts like some of us to buy it.
It's for the young kids who couldn't care less about the past. The
one thing I cant understand is why Nissan have to use the Z badge.
Call it something else and it wont bother us a bit if it looks like crap.
It has nothing in common with the earlier models, it dont have any
performance out of the ordinary and it probably wont sell either
unless they have a really low price. For $30-35K there are many
other cars to choose from. Even some that looks good.
