Front grille looks like a bumperless 240z
mild quarry
I just want the 90s back bro,
None of this bullshit
At least we finally fucking get a NSX Type R and Spider Next Year
echo tusk
Car probably will look better with a different color
dire shard
the grille is so bad and the rear just looks like glorified mustang
mild quarry
The rear end is too low
echo tusk
It'll look better in person anyway
mild quarry
"quick, cobble together an ai and feed it images of the latest design trends circa 2010+ and some 60s shit. Go go!"
echo tusk
Yall are so negative
echo tusk
Thats your opinion
mild quarry
IDGAF about manual the production will look worse, look what happened with the supra and nsx
echo tusk
I think it looks fine
mild quarry
Why isn't their anything to break up that awful rear shoulder
That's my main problem
dire shard
why isn't there anything to break up that literal box of a grille, that's my main problem
mild quarry
God it is rather unpleasant
It took us like 12 years for this shit LMFAO
Fuck it keep your r35 man I don't wanna see the 36 after this
echo tusk
Well people are never going to be happy when they dont get exactly what they wanted
dire shard
the inclusion of the "katana blade" trim is also questionable, though it's not the worst offender on the design
mild quarry
I just wanted something that looked modern. But no, watch dogs car.
echo tusk
And I expect everyone's opinion to change when they actually see it in person
ocean rock
id love to see what the tuner would do on that grille.
my body is ready for the new beeg trend
B E E G A S S R A D I A T O R
strong rapids
in that colour and with the DRLs, it looks like a AM Vantage, sort of, from the front
umbral dune
kinda like a mix of the z32 240z and ND mx5
strong rapids
still looks good
umbral dune
glad they have a proper MT and TT engine
gritty pasture
honestly i'm loving the new Z
i'm not too bothered by the grille but maybe it'll just need a dremel and some new black mesh to give it a c7 corvette esque bumper
also they do say it's close to final
they'll probably change the front bumper
hopefully this one goes for another 10 year production run though so i can actually buy one new in a couple of years lol
also i love the aston marton vibes i get from that, mainly because the old Zs were partially inspired by old AMs afaik
dire shard
i thought it looked a bit like a scuffed dbs sl
gritty pasture
it looks like a low poly dbs lol
dire shard
not low poly, just completely screwed
gritty pasture
fair enough
i mean, im sure someone will come out with an aftermarket bumper for the new Z anyway
it only looks bad from a dead on view tbh
also i love the tail lights
dire shard
i dislike the taillights
seems like everybody is trying to get lights that look like they're a screen or something
gritty pasture
hmm
i mean i can see where youre coming from
i like it because it looks futuristic without being complete robot vomit
at least that whole lower rear diffuser thing is carbon fibre
dire shard
i certainly love the drls and it takes those headlight scoops from the s30
but the grille hurts
it needs something to break it up
gritty pasture
honestly i reckon if it had a c7 corvette esque bumper it'd be fine
not quite rectangular
strong rapids
just find a aftermarket bumper
dire shard
make it a hexagon or something
strong rapids
they look good stock in my opinion
gritty pasture
the chrome strip between the paint and the blacked out bit on the roofline kinda sucks
but thatll be easy to blackout
at least the car isnt chrome everywhere
dire shard
yes, i thought so too
they deliberately did it for a "katana" look, but i think it looks stupid
dire shard
yes
it's not the worst thing on the car, i think it looks alright except for when it meets the main body colour of the car
then there are problems
might just be because the example car is yellow, maybe it'll look alright with red
gritty pasture
yeah i agree
if it had just cut off at the line where the window like curves up
it wouldve been fine
also the brakes almost look like carbon ceramics
they're black instead of silver
dire shard
i found that an issue with designing things is that sometimes you find something that looks really really cool
but you can't find a way to properly transition it to the rest of the design
gritty pasture
yeah that is a big issue
dire shard
so the katana trim looks really cool on the pillar, but then it goes to shit when it meets the rear
gritty pasture
yeah i agree
dire shard
so i guess somebody either thought it's alright, or they thought it looked good
whatever, because it should be easy to black out right
gritty pasture
yeah it should be
hmm
i feel like they shouldve either cut it off at that diagonal red line at the window, or they shouldve blacked out that whole bit above the red line instead of having the paint come up
discord compression.. have to zoom in to see it lol
dire shard
while it's here, i think from the side it looks pretty nice
but the taillights begin to bother me again
gritty pasture
i do like the side profile
hmm
from this angle it makes the lights look 3d at least
so its not just like leds on a screen i guess
dire shard
to be honest, i still think it looks like a sticker from this angle
gritty pasture
it'll probably look better in person
also, i cant tell if its just the lighting but as i said before those brakes look like carbon ceramics
i mean i guess it makes sense, it looks like nissan is trying to compete with the cayman and such
all track ready porsches come with carbon ceramics nowadays afaik
or maybe they're just an option, idk
although i feel like if you're buying this Z used with somewhat high miles, might be worth not actually buying the ones that come with carbon ceramics because if you ever do need to replace them they'll be expensive af
dire shard
forgive the line, i can't find the source image for the side profile so i just used the one above
i think that chrome strip definitely looks better when the car is in different colour
gritty pasture
here are the actual source images, but you're right that the chrome strip looks better on different paints
gritty pasture
yeah, very high quality lol
interior pic for good measure, you can zoom in and see everything lol
i like how it has physical knobs for volume control at least
instead of relying on the stupid touch screen
and physical knobs for the air conditioning controls it looks like
actually i cant tell, those ones might be touch sensitive instead of knobs
oh, looks like motorised seats, neat
dire shard
what doesn't have motorized seats these days
grumble grumble back in my day
blue is a bit questionable, but it might just be what i chose
gritty pasture
i think nissan blue is a lot darker, closer to navy blue, but they might have a different palette for the new Z
hmm
maybe try a grey or a silver colour
see how it looks in that

dire shard
how plain
gritty pasture
honestly i liked the bright calipers, but maybe not yellow
although that's a good look right there
dire shard
i like the yellow with the silver actually, it doesn't look bad
gritty pasture
yeah, gives some nice contrast
dire shard
gives a lot more contrast than red, that's for sure
dire shard
yeah, yellow pops
you definitely aren't interested in seeing m-style brake calipers on this, right
gritty pasture
hmm, i actually dont mind that specific look
although you never really see blue brake calipers
i kinda wish they didn't show it off as yellow in the promotional material
hides the curves too much
gritty pasture
red really does look great on it

It looks much less like a 350 / 370Z, and more like a retro-futuristic 280Z with 300ZX taillights.
Which at first, I don't mind. But I'm worried about the aftermarket.
ocean rock
this thing wont rip on super GT imo
heady swift
I think they'll either keep the gtr or use this one for a few years until the gtr's successor comes
In the past few years the gt500 supergt has been dominated by the nsx. But the commission decided that rear-engines cars are no longer allowed

lemme add that invisible bumper thats meant to split the grille
dire shard
i agree that it needs something to split it up, but i don't think a straight chrome bar is going to do the trick

I think it needs to be accentuated

The black square pattern grille is good way to hide the design
But yeah
Just kinda feel off.

I bet someone is gonna DIY a chrome bumper for the Z when it really comes out like that

Also the FD was way faster than the FD and they made way less FDs for the US market
the FD production went to 2002 in Japan if you count the spirit R

1954 Buick Roadmaster,
Or 1967 Chevy Impala
delicate grotto
both are expensive and popular
pseudo obsidian
Hence why I went for the imperial
I'm not stupid enough to go for such an expensive car with competition to buy them
Especially without a lot of money on me
pseudo obsidian
Sounds pretty good.
Now, I've had interests in crown vics as well, ironically enough
Hearing how well they lasted
pseudo obsidian
Police V8s? I assume that's just standard police commissioned vehicle in simpler terms and can't get my hands on one without a ton of money
delicate grotto
No I mean all civilian ones were choked interceptor engines tested by the police before being mass-sold
advertised at 180 hp while making 80 hp to the wheels due to regulations
pseudo obsidian
Ah
delicate grotto
it's been like that since at least the second gen iirc
but remember, they're not actually crown vics
crown vic wasn't a car until 1992, beforehand they were just a luxury trim name
pseudo obsidian
So they weren't officially called that
Alright
Well, besides the Dodge Magnum,
You got any other vintage cars that might be worth my while?
delicate grotto
uhhh, barge worthy or regular classics?
pseudo obsidian
I'd say give me a bit of both, I'm pretty open minded about this
delicate grotto
are you a fan of cheaply made compact luxury vehicles?
pseudo obsidian
Depends if they don't break down in 5 years or so of driving them
delicate grotto
a 10k miled fully maintained and mint condition chrysler k-car will go from 4k-7k depending on trim
they use cheap minivan engines that are easy to fix, and are always a good starter choice
if that's too small there's always the executive stretch trim that'll be fun to hunt for
pseudo obsidian
Never seen wood used too often. Not outside station wagons anyway
delicate grotto
@pseudo obsidian the K-car was made with as many variants as possible without making much changes to help chrysler out of an economic crisis
pseudo obsidian
Alright.
delicate grotto
"we've made the K-car town and country, what else should we make?"
pseudo obsidian
So there is a station wagon variant of it
delicate grotto
"what if we made a useless town and country convertible"
pseudo obsidian
It's basically a one model fits all basically
delicate grotto
yes
they made limos, pickups, sedans, convertibles, wagons, and literally any other mix and match
with different names like lebaron, aries, orion, and so on
pseudo obsidian
Lovely little car.
Doesn't look appealing to the eye either, so car thieves be damned
delicate grotto
it's an FF layout made to help coax elder people into downsizing during the oil crisis
delicate grotto
the interior is still very 70s to help their targeted market get into the idea of small cars are big inside
pseudo obsidian
That dash is a lot to look at
delicate grotto
here's a fairly well kept, high miled, one owner one for 2 grand https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/261115
pseudo obsidian
Very nice.
Now, I always loved the appeal of a sleek, curvy car, with that iconic grill like all those expensive oldsmobiles, Cadillacs and Buicks
These cars your showing me do show the modest side of me quite an appeal though
Easy manegement stuff
delicate grotto
if you'd like more of a fun car, fork over a little more money and get a more modern sportier k-car https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Chrysler-Le-Baron-d174#listing=266202051
90s le barons are sleek and hyper-modernized versions with more stuff to give but in return, more electronics to repair and a prettier price to pay
pseudo obsidian
Well I don't mind driving a less modern car,
I suppose I should be more specific
Something that shows you the defining features of its era,
Something timeless
Eye candy, in simpler terms, but not so much that it's a unreliable piece of trash
delicate grotto
well the le baron is certainly 90s
and the dodge shelby charger k-car is certainly 80s
pseudo obsidian
Now that does look like quite a nice car
delicate grotto
it's the ugly duckling and it's not the best of k-cars
pseudo obsidian
But it catches the eye
delicate grotto
it had a tuned minivan engine which wasn't half bad but the turbo barely did it any good
pseudo obsidian
Certainly looks nice
delicate grotto
just a lifted group of amc cars with a lot of trims and a good 4WD system
pseudo obsidian
Some of the pictures I see of it,
Is that it looks like a mix of your classic muscle car and a station wagon
Like the title says,
Crossover
Least I assume anyway
I'm not the most experienced with this sort of stuff
delicate grotto
it's a very crossover type of car
and the SX/4 is peak 80s with the stock paint jobs
pseudo obsidian
Now this is a stupid question that goes beyond this topic, but what can ya tell me about driving stick? Since I'm getting into vintage cars
delicate grotto
I’ve never driven stick
Remember you’re getting into 70s and 80s
They’re all automatics
pseudo obsidian
Oh yeah?
pseudo obsidian
Huh, I thought automatics weren't so prominent until the 90s
