Message	The Z33 has it...as did the Z32...IMHO...Each bodystyle change was an evolution of the previous style. So, I think it's silly to say that the Z32 will be the target for a future retro bodystyle...the Z car will just evolve like it has previously. I think it might be cool if the newer Zs would go to a recessed headlight like the 240z and 260z...but there's retro styling everywhere. Oh, and just because the Big Three are jumping on this Retro Bandwagon...doesn't mean Nissan has to or should. Just my .02 :) -Brad 1992 Z32 2+2 NA 1986 Z31 Coupe NA (For Sale) AIM: RBA186
