It's not that exciting. It looks almost exactly like the current car.

I think it's a good car. Great cars inject enthusiasm or connect emotionally. This is boring.

Well, yeah, that's a given but I thought we were discussing Nissans in this thread.

Toss-up between Nissan and BMW to see who can put out the most humdrum performance car, eh?

Looks the same; Did they just change the wheels and headlights?

Still "OK" at best, and still overpriced

And the only new thing that I can notice is the hood bulge.

No changes worth mentioning and price goes up. I believe the VQ has about reached it's normally aspirated limit. With the slight increase in HP we have here, I would say we've about pumped the well dry.

I wonder what the next performance step is. Nissan has used blowers before on their truck line, but I don't see that fitting under this hood too easily. I don't think we've seen a Nissan turbo since the 80s, so not sure they'll go that way.

Time will tell.

Wow the hood gained a giant nipple. A huge one too, and no one likes that kind of nipple.

Try the 90's Z32(?) 300ZX. BTW, that is one seriously ugly hood. Nissan should've fixed the back end of the car - the taillights in particular.
