I can't be the only one who thinks it hideous because of how awkward the headlight shape is?

I'm gonna agree w Arnold here, the headlights do look awkward.

It just looks like a kitted-out 240...

That was not done by a Nissan engineer. Oh, and S2000 copy FTL.

If work ever gets underway on another budget coupe, Nissan should seriously pursue Polish designer Iacoski and his interpretation of a 240Z/Fairlady revival.

Polish designer = Not a Nissan engineer

I love it. Low sloping low line's, long hood, classic 240 rear end that resembles E-type Jags. I'd definitely consider getting one in later years so long as power wasn't down. They'll never build it though, it has to be huge, heavy, and boaty for Nissan to make anything.

if this was going to be the answer to toyota/subbie's joint project car i think it would be successfull. The car looks hot as hell. personally id rework the headlights a little, other than that looks like a neo/retro nostalgic 240 to me.

looks like a s2000 with a skyline body kit. ugly as hell...

I wish Nissan's designers would commit mass suicide, because they consistently design ugly crap these days. Even if this guy is some Polish dude, the actualy Nissan designers are equally terrible.

am I the only one who really doesn't see much a resemblance to the s2000?? I think it is probably because I have the old 240Z and 280Z in mind. It harkens back to the old z's, but s2000? no, not for me at least

"Compact 4Door-Coupe-Crossover Hybrid" besides the fact that the thing is hideous, how many adjectives do you need?!

So you bumped this thread just to take a shot at me over my opinion? Ok....that works both ways: You have no room to talk, as someone who owns the ugliest generation of Maxima (6th gen) and a Camaro...both are faster than any of my cars, and both are uglier than any of my cars...

If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. And if you put alot of power in a Camaro, it still looks like a Camaro...

Btw, Nice double-post....
