Message	Firstly, we all know this is a proto, meaning that the production version most likely will be different in some way, shape, or form. A few things I like/dislike .. LOVE the power plant. 3.0L TT RWD 6 speed, that is literally z32 DNA, and if that doesn’t give you a 50% sold sticker than why do you even own a z32 TT? Love the heritage aspect in blending the 240z with the z32. Is the car perfect? No, but is is awesome? yes! Look what Toyota did with the supra, ZERO heritage from the mk4, they didn’t even look at the previous customers, and it shows because it’s utter trash in every way(I’ve driven one). Sure the box grill, and the colour they used isn’t too appealing, but I see the bigger picture in it all. Wait until the aftermarkets make this car look awesome, and wait until ecutek gets involved and we all have 500whp corn fed z35s. Lots of positives to take out. Regardless, I’m still excited. Anything is better than another year of a NA 370z.....
