Message	Was at the Z reveal last night here in Franklin and I have to admit, I think the car looks great. I was fully prepared to not like it, but pleasantly surprised. Too many people put the Z32 on a pedestal, much like the Mk4 Supra...and when you do that, you'll never be happy with anything that comes out as a new version. Folks, we're getting a RWD, twin turbo, SIX SPEED MANUAL NISSAN sports car in 2021...that alone is worth celebrating. It could be styled like a potato and I'd be happy about it. But honestly, I do like the styling and I think until we all see the final product with our own two eyeballs in the flesh, we should reserve some judgement. 1994 300ZX NA 2+0 (sold March 2017) 1993 300ZX TT 2+0 2008 350Z NISMO #1242
