Jay Leno travels to Nissan Technical centre in Atsugi, Kanagawa to inspect the Datsun 240Z, and see if another one is on the cards.

I only hope they stick to the original theme of the car if they do.  Unlike Toyota's (piss poor IMHO) attempt at a remake of the 86, I think this shouldn't happen.  The 350Z and 370Z's were vague attempts at remakes and don't cut the mustard.  Sometimes, somethings are better left how they are.  This is one of them.

Theres (was) before change a pretty detailed link and thread about this. Hes cool Leno, and during the vid shows a few versions of possibly a new z..

 

The toyota 86 and BRZ Subz are terrible in my opinion.........and slow

At Pebble Beach last year Jay followed me around for a some time before finally plucking up the courage to ask if he could have his photo taken with me.

 

I must say he was extremely friendly to 'an Aussie'.
