what should the 350z really look like?

Zed, you need to email that to all the Styling losers at Nissan. The SCREWED up and your design looks much better. Only problem is they "had" to use an existing sedan platform and use it's sedan proportions (cowl for/aft location and height) which means your design wouldn't happen.

Better, but I would've scooted the whole front of the car back along with the greenhouse for a shorter-wheelbase car. Basic styling details on the 350 suck, though. The headlights look very Japanese sci-fi (Inframan, anyone?), and the form of the fender flares (basically a revolved radius) is not pleasing to my eye. The stylist himself said he wanted the wheel openings to look like two big horizontal cylindrical forms stuck in the slight wedge + obtuse triangle form of the car. If he wanted to make it more "steamrolleresque" than "sports car taut", I guess he succeeded.

 

I wanted a coupe version of a cross between a Miata and an S2000. Or, actually, anything less heavy-looking (though I guess the styling matches the car in that regard) and with some, I don't know, spirit/soul/personality/name-your-touchy-feely-expression.

I like the second version. Looks more like it is trying to keep the Z name plate alive and not extend the Audi plate. I like the 350 but it could have been a bit truer to the orignal :twisted:
