REPORT FROM
DETROIT

"I spent about two hours with the photographers at the Detroit show last night. I also interviewed John Yukawa, who is the Chief Product Specialist for the new Z (and was featured in the roll-out presentation."
"My first thoughts are that the car lacks proportions we are used to. It is shorter and wider than we're used to, and the greenhouse is not as high either. It looks a bit "frumpy"

"IMO, the car needs more hood length, a higher arched greenhouse, and a more squared rear end."

"You either like it or you don't. Most of the press I met were not enthusiastic about the car, and one from Automobile Magazine stated flatly that it looked like a version of the Audi TT.... I have to agree.

BUT - it's 'better' than the rebodied 240 SX/Z Concept that Nissan made up in 1999 in my opinion. This concept is finished very well. The details show that they've spent lots of time on the car. "
