Same, the new grill looks some what like the bugatti veyron minus all the power and features. I do like the older model and have been looking for one to restore and call my own also a supra but man things are hard to find. What will nissan come out with to compete with ford/mustang chevy/camaro toyota/camry/scion nissan/350z?

the 350z / g35 is the direct comp to the camaro and mustang ... the question is when is toyota going to join in. they always had the supra till it priced it self out of the market...

idk i kind of doubt that they're going to come out with anything "snazhy" like the mustangs or camaros theyre too busy with the hybrids and all that the supra still is an amazing car and if they do come back out with it they shouldn't make any/too many changes too its body work or engine it will still sell

The new GT-R looks nice as far as cars go, but IMPO it does not look like a GT-R.... I am very much a fan of the R-34. I dont know why car companies feel the need to change body styles when the ones they have fly off of the show room floors.... Take the new STI for example... the damn thing is hideous!!!! The 2007 and previous sold like hotcakes.... why would they change it so dramatically? It just doesnt make sense to me....

.I like it. Pretty cool. The styling is sharp. But I'd like to see a return to roots. Why does EVERYTHING have to be managed by a computer on this car? I mean, the computer systems are there to compensate for suspension systems and a drive-train that can't operate effectively without it. Right? To me its a handicap if it "needs" these computer controlled devices just to perform. I'm not talking about engine management so much as I am talking about traction and suspension systems.

Like the F-117 stealth fighter, without computers to manage its flight systems the thing can't fly at all! I'll take a WWII P-51 Mustang over a stealth fighter any day, The P-51's shear mechanical design principals are what makes it so much more amazing to me, far more amazing than a modern state of the art, but computer dependent F-117.

Same with cars, if it needs to have brains controlling everything, than its sort of lame.
thats my 2 cents.

Okay I'm babbling now, sorry.
