Looks much better, and frankly they should just make this the standard front end. And yea, as someone else mentioned, this was supposed to be an affordable car. I’ve seen exactly one in the wild since these came out. At $35-40K I’d probably be spending my time on Nissan’s configurator night after night until I broke…

Hard disagree, this looks good. It’s only a little odd looking because this still has the lower lip from the regular Z. If that wasn’t there (and the bumper was fully round like the old Z) it would likely look more like what you’re expecting.

As a Z fan and owner, I’m going to have to completely disagree with your take here. I hate the mega mouth look and think the heritage split grille is an absolutely massive improvement. Being able to choose this grille is a fantastic option. 

It’s hilarious that both sides of the US political spectrum would freak out at UK-style MOT inspections:

Reminded me of Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore.

This generation was introduced during the 2020 model year, not 2022. 2023 was the facelift. If you go to Seoul, Korea you will see these everywhere as they are a status symbol for the wealthy. They indeed have serious gangster presence, especially in black.

I thought the thefts occurred primarily with lower-tier cars with keyed ignitions? Cars with key fobs didn’t have that vulnerability.

Wait so randomly shooting out of a moving vehicle in public, because you thought your car got shot (which did they ever find bullet holes?)...Oh after he CUT SOMEONE OFF, constitutes as a reasonable action? nah the dude has no self control or humility to de-escalate the situation with a “I’m sorry wave” to the driver…

This is the dumbest fucking country on earth. This asshole needs to spend a little time in jail. 

I was ready to fight tooth an nail over a ticket I got when I was 19. I pulled right out of a convivence store on a double lane road, that was about 80 yards from the cross street I needed to turn left on. Flash my left blinker, moved to inside lane, flashed again to move into the dedicated left turn lane and waited…

If someone had the money and time to do it, it should be done. That was a bullshit ticked and law enforcement and courts get away with this shit all the time. 

I’d have to guess that the venn diagram of someone who “hates life” and “hates Miatas” is basically a single circle.

I’ll quickly add that since some readers hate our objectively good slideshows because they have have not yet been included in one of the roundups, please keep the comments coming.

The logo is ok, but the tri-color clashes and sticks out. If I were a graphic designer in charge of Buick, I’d go for a mono-tone version to be more cohesive, and a blackout option (trim and all, but I got lazy with the photoshop).

Images listed below: 1) untouched 2) monotone 3) blackout

I think you are misreading this and taking it out of context. Either purposefully or accidentally.

I don’t know how it is in Connecticut, but my least favorite stretch of I-95 is between DC and Fredericksburg. It’s brutal.

Honestly, in a world where $60k minivans are possible, that’s not that expensive, especially if the ‘luxe’ fit and finish is as good as they promise. 

Except the kid who interned at Google values himself MUCH higher than anything Ford might throw at him. Chances are, his internship salary was higher than Ford’s starting pay.

Welp that’s a mistake. the ONE THING you don’t want to do is piss off engineers when the real issue is likely mismanagement.

I have a feeling that someone spending 4 figures on a roof tent for their $150k Porsche don’t care about cost efficiency.
