I think I like the current models better. The headlights look out of place.

Yeah I agree the headlights looks out of place, but at least they decided to do away with that ugly amber strip

headlights are fugly. period..they reek of overstatement. I love the way the current Z headlights look..even with the amber strip.

LED rear lamps are neat though..

Anyone who buys an 06 is a sucker with major changes coming around the corner.

God I hope we get rid of the VQ and get something else.

LOL

I noticed that too, and most of them have no clue IMO.

I like the front facia changes but not the lights.

The amber part looks awesome IMO(keeps them form looking cheep), of course my 350z is LaMans Sunset so the amber fits better than some colors.

The headlights look really goofy... I personally like the current Z a lot, but being tall makes it really hard to get in and out of...

Yeah...so negative.

I dislike the headlights, but I really like the tails. I don't like the new fascia either.And "the interior sucks" is a stupid thing to say from a photo. Sit in one, you'll change your mind. So enveloping and welcoming.

Looks too "cute" now, though. And I liked the Amber strip.

It just looks to...happy...It has a cartoonish blissful ignorance look to it's "face" now. Before it had somewhat of a slack jawed "holy freaking crap!" expression.

Of course, I'd have to see it all on the coupe before I pass real judgement. The 'Vert is just nasty anyway. Convertible Z...blasphemy. Go buy a Solara.

This appearance change had better not spread to the rest of the lineup.

Don't mind Wes he drives a 60 year old man car. Everything is real easy in that car.

Of course the handling, acceleration, braking, and every other performance item of that car is pure garbage compared to a Z. I'd rather have a harder come to get out of then a floaty swaying POS!

I'm definitely a big fan of the Z - there's not a car on the market right now that can touch it for the money.

I do wish it was a little more practical (maybe a 2+2?), but that's not what it was built for.

Not a fan of the Roadster at all - terrible fit for anyone over 6'.
