Interesting article stating the new Z could've gone a completely other direction, based on the well received Juke design.

The Nissan Z Proto and 400Z Could Have Looked Like a Juke

Nissan considered a Juke-inspired Z car, but it eventually went with retro styling based on the 240Z

There was also a feeling a few years ago this could happen with the Gripz concept


there was literally articles written about how this meant the end of the Z. that didnt age well

The Nissan Gripz Concept will be the CUV That Killed the Z-Car

Your sportscars are dead, and crossovers will feast on their bones.

I'm so glad the final design is just a mix of a bunch of Z generations we all love.

That would have been far more unforgivable than when Mitsubishi named one of it's newer SUVs "Eclipse".

Good thing Ghosn is gone!

Wow we almost had the second coming of what Mitsubishi did to the Eclipse. Thank God Nissan never decided to pull the trigger on this.

Yeah that thing was an atrocity. It's like the antithesis of the Z Proto we got. Stuff going on everywhere. No clean smooth lines that will be classic.
