Well, I think it's a pretty fresh way of revealing just a little bit. Everyone does the "we'll let you see the headlight... here's a fender, just a little door handle to whet your appetite" thing. It's been done to death. At least this is unique to the brand.

That is sig worthy! I agree 100%.

Speedflex, Nissan/Infiniti does the headlight thing as well, they just did it for the Maxima.

I want the damn G35 concept, if anything.

You're right about the Maxima teaser. I thought that was a bit predictable too.

I hope the next Z does not just look like the current one with just a update/refresh and they go with a smaller, lower, lighter, sleeker design, maybe something that resembles the 300ZX out in the 90's and something that looks like a real sports car instead of a sort of downmarket sporty car like the current one. The current one looks decent from some angles but just odd and ugly from some other angles and does not look like a real sports car but more like a celica/eclipse/Audi tt type car. It looks small but it is actually a pretty big heavy car yet has little storage for anything and the interior is really bad, almost as bad as a Mustangs interior. A Mitsubishi Eclipse has a much better higher quality interior which is pretty bad. I don't think the current one has aged well at all and is a pretty big disappointment.
