Doesnt seem like much design effort went into the Z. Ford
took some time and thought when then released the new
Thunderbird convertible, using some of the old looks with
newer technology. To bad Nissan didnt spend alittle more
time on the Drafting table.

The coupes are fugly. Fast, but fugly. Maybe they're an acquired taste but I
never acquired it no matter how long I look at it and since there's a Bimmer
dealer a block from my house I've looked at them often.
I would call it the F10 of BMW :)
