Dnk Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) This beats the looks of the mk5 supra imo Edited September 3, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Have to disagree. Mkv has some nice innovative curves. Cant see anything here I've not seen elsewhere. Mkv curves and lights are really fresh and not see for me anywhere else. If the mkv was bigger. I'd be sold on it. Sadly for me I just see it as a gt86. They should have made the mkv more expensive and stuck with some of the outlandish exterior. Instead of dulling it down and shrinking it. Road presence of the mkiv is due to its size. No ones going to get scared with a little gt86 behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The front grille looks a bit goofy, but otherwise a nice looking car. You can definitely tell it was based on the 240z and it looks a lot better than the 350/370. I still haven't seen a MK5 in real life yet, maybe it looks better there than in pictures.

ben_harmer32 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I like it! Plus the fact it'll have 400bhp and a manual gearbox as standard I recon it'll outsell the mk5 easily. I still don't understand with the Lexus RC and LC in their arsenal which could easily been changed to look like the FT1 concept why Toyota felt the need to start from scratch with BMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Nice looking car, maybe the front end will look better in the flesh. The back end looks cool, bit like the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your high lighted comments 100% They totally screwed up the mk5 and it does nothing for me unless you start adding body kit splitters etc The only part on the Z i'm not sold on is the grill but think you could easily get a custom job made for not crazy cash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard recently that Nissan maybe doing a rethink on supply to Europe ,here's hoping,not enough of this type of car anymore which i know is down to demand,a shame for enthusiasts though !

mwilkinson Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I don't think they will where the car remains a solely ICE platform. I have heard that they may consider developing a hybrid version which could be sold in the European market, but sales of their small sports cars in Europe and UK have been so poor in recent years as to not engender any confidence in the investment to do so. But, never say never! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I like the overall retro understated look, but I'm not keen on the front bumper. It's too square. I'd need to see some in the flesh and in a few different colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) It looks as bad as the Zupr4 in my eyes. Like someone has thrown a beautiful 240 into a blender with the 370, hit blend and taken out what remains. All these trips down memory lane fall spectacularly short IMO. That doesn’t mean to say it won’t be a good car, a twin turbo V6 sounds like a lot of fun. EDIT The engine they chose for this should have been from the GT-R not the Infiniti Q60. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission (for driver engagement, what ever that is) or a nine-speed automatic () but at least they have left the cheap interiors behind and allowed Ford to keep that corner of the market covered.

But, never say never! Yes i agree but was recently told in no uncertain terms by a guy supposedly (in the know) that it would come here.However if Audi are ditching the TT you know coupe's days are numbered.I remember the days when you could get a Capri,a Peugeot 406,Calibra,etc with room in the back for the kids,these days are gone i'm afraid.
