Man, I wanted to like the new Z, but I feel like Nissan has totally lost their way. The GT-R aside, I look at everything they produce including the Infiniti product and have to wonder if they even care any more. I can't get down with the design, especially the front end. The combination of the headlights and massive squared grille looks like... well, watch that video @ 0:45 where it's passing the classic Z, and it looks like you're getting passed by a cartoon character. Interior looks good, hopefully they are getting the infotainment from someone who knows how to do it properly. But it's the same reason I don't like the design of the new Astons, there's something about the design that is ... sterile?

3M wrap, wash regularly, don't follow people too closely, and treat the weather forecast as gospel. But otherwise, it's a car, and it's made to be enjoyed.
you&me can probably back me up on this, but I've heard that one of the best winter 'beaters' if you're a sports car nut is a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 because the AWD system on them is so good and the ground clearance is sufficient.
