The trunk lid is Volvo like.
The tails stretch too far into the trunk area.
Overall I find it boring. But so are the Solara and Accord coupe.

More pics and site dedicated to the new coupe

Not bad looking at all really. 350z tails not Scion.

These current pictures that GFerg post up look pretty good actually.
This new coupe better be cheaper than the z/G35 though.

I personally think it will sell good. Better than the solara that is for sure.

Looks nice actually. Rear bumper looks a bit weird.

Just drive one-- Then draw conclusions-- It will destroy an older SC400 stock for stock-- Which is what I have-- I thought it fair to compare to what I have-- The 6MT should run a low 14-- A few mods could get a high 13--

A great alternative to the Accord coupe-- PLUS-- the only REAL competition would be the G6- and Eclipse-- once they drive this-- That V6 is a wicked mother--

I am partial to them though-- I have a Primera and used to sell Nissans-- with the new line rolling out, it looks like I should've kept selling them.

This car looks like the uglier sibling of the G35 and 350Z. I'm sure it will do just fine for Nissan given there aren't a lot of choices in this price for the import coupe segment. There's the Civic, Accord, tC, and Solara.

would be better if they smoothed out the lines in the car. from a side profile it looks like the looks like the g35 got smashed with a volvo rear end shape and the front having a saturn like shape.

Could be better. The rear end I definitely need to see in person. It looks a little odd. Some pics the rear looks bad, but some pics its not so bad. This is one car that I need to see personally before I pass style judgment. Right now it is just okay. Definitely better than the Accord Coupe and current Solara though.

I'm gonna buy it and put 350 z badges on it
