Hah indeed!
Hey they've linked the artical to this thread, must have got the pics from this thread also. If only some of the people in Nissan took some notice.
You know it's a bit ironic that you often hear the Japanese were/are well known for taking a good product and mass producing it to a pretty good standard and price. So the old 240z taking design cues from some Euro cars cracked the US market and blitzed it in the day. So now we move forward to the Japanese cars of today and we have companies like Lexus making cars that look like Mercs and are probably on parr with them in Quality and yet (unlike say the Americans cashing on the Mustang and Germans, BMW on the Mini) they don't go back and make some easy money by going down the retro look with one of their best selling Japanese sports cars of all time, the 240z!??? Go figure hey. We've gone down the path of how all this retro stuff can be seen as lack of imagination regarding evolving the look of the car but who cars I really like the look of this thing, look at the 911 they tried to kill that off but it did'nt happen because of all those devoted to the car in that form.
