Thanks, I hate it.

I guess the 240z with the new front end looks better to me

Definitely a no. It will be hard to add some decades old design features to the new Z.

But picking from more recent models like the 370z could...

The round headlights don't work with the new proto design. That's why the designers went a different way. They had the limitations of using the 370 proportions and shapes and not being able to veer too far from that.

Considering those limitations I think they did an incredible job. The new Z is easily one of the best looking cars from a Japanese automaker and best of all it will be priced within reach of the average person.

I completely agree. A lot of people get frustrated by simplicity but that's what creates timeless design. No crazy lines crashing into each other or going no where. No over-styled angles and graphics. No unnecessary grills and non-functional pieces. Nissan really nailed the shape and kept this thing very clean. To think they pulled this off with a full on platform limitation and engineering limitations at a budget price point is really an achievement.

Even the interior is timeless but over the years the digital displays might age faster than the rest of the cabin.
