I've always liked the way these looked.

They’re great to drive too! 6 speed, awesome seats, light steering with a cool wheel , and rev match you can turn off.

I’m not a big fan of the exterior (a far cry from the sophisticated 300zx) but I understand it... the interior though sort of kills me. I dislike it throughly.

The red trim pieces seem to be fading to pink, which is something I’ve noticed when seeing these cars in person as well.

And it’s a new Nismo too, spicy.

Here’s the Nismo interior.  Blank buttons everywhere!  But it’s a sports car so...

Whenever I’m feeling nostalgic for the late 70s, a Z car and EPCOT solve everything!

It might not be a good Z to you, but it's still a pretty good car

Those s eats fix a lot my issues...

Old school sports car formula for the last couple of Z generations:

2 seats, a biggish engine, a smallish chassis, a modern suspension setup with a decent manual and decent steering.

All for not a ton of money.

That said, not a ton to get super excited about either. A miata will be more tossable, a mustang faster in every way and both of those cars went....fewer than like 15 years between redesigns.

Is Epcot still the 1950's animatronicly p ersonified , or have they updated it in the past few decades?

Oh it’s really nice... and I like that it exists, I just wish Nissan took more care of the z line of cars.

I would have thought the gear shifter too ;)

Me too, but I bet that it will be succeeded by a crossover Z because Nissan.

Yeah, what a shame, specially given the  good chasis Nissan has at the moment to support an updated version (Shortened Q60 anyone?)

First problem: no stick/no care.

But you are still absolutely correct, in my mind.

Slightly updated, but not too much. I think it’s still alive because of the plentiful food and alcohol, which is everywhere and generally really good.

They didn't get rid of space mountain or the slow-carts on rails, did they? Last time I was there, everything was sponsored by Eastern Airlines... Or maybe it was TWA. Been a while.

I didn't, but in a world of over styled cars these look restrained now

Agreed, the current Sedona is pretty good-looking, even (especially?) for a minivan. Considering the horrors of the last-gen and current Odyssey, the long-in-the-tooth Sienna, and the new-hotness Pacifica, it’s definitely among the two best-looking vehicles in the segment.

Oh, you meant the srx? No, those are deliberately jarring. Not a fan.

Sorry, you meant the Nissan? Yeah I guess they’re OK overall but the mirrors are too small, and the roof rack doesn’t hide the fact that it has a humpbacked roof line. In fact they make it look like the rear if the vehicle is falling off and the roof rack was hastily added to keep it from sliding away.

...wrong Nissan? Oh, yeah, one of those new bulbous pathfinders is back there by its Infiniti version. Looks like it’s the QX60 rather than the short-lived JX35, but hard to tell without looking at the badging.

That’s not it either? What the...

OH! I thought that was an angry old lady who lost her dentures and had too-bright of lipstick on just her lower lip. My bad. I think it’s because they’re about the same age in appearance, relatively speaking.
