Just saw my first new Nissan Z car. What a nice homage to the original Z.

@etherdiver they're a classic! And you can see it in the new Z! Definitely has elements of it in the design.

@vwdasher@weird.autos avatar

@Dylan It's a really nice design, I am impressed. Nissan has captured the retro feel but modernised it, really well.

Today's QOTD is... assuming you have the 3+million to buy this thing,what two cars are you putting in the driveway?
