Looked at the 370Z in 2015, but opted for the brand new Miata ND. Have been interested in Z cars ever since my brother had a used 260Z in the 1980s. IC powered sports cars built to bring joy into this miserable world, should be cherished while they last.ĭefinitely interested in this car. We're about to go over the precipice of all electric, disposable, appliance mobiles with no going back. I'm thrilled that Nissan is building this thing. The grille is bold.since it's a design reference to another, more artfully accomplished implementation, it will never be given its own space to breathe. Nothing can match the image of the original cars as seen through the rose colored glass of our nostalgia. I think this 400Z, if it was an entirely new thing, would be received a lot better. In the car world, the most obvious recent example is the Supra which got this bitter, angry, foot stomping attention even though it's a stunning, wickedly fast (by the standards of its predecessors) coupe. Just look at how the modern Star Wars movies have sent people off the deep end. It seems like products sold this way must be 100% on target or they might as well be 100% trash. I wonder if it's just a symptom of being fed products that use our warm, fuzzy associations as their main hook, that so many people react bitterly. Problem probably is, if you train yourself to work with the camera (easy enough) then every time you're in another car, same problem in reverse.īut the visual fidelity to reality is crazy good, once you're focused properly. I manually refocus my eyes and it's all good. Who knew? So when I cut the eyes up to see what's behind right as I'm about to cut to the next lane, everything is wildly out of focus. In other words, the eyes are looking at something that is 100' or farther away, and they need to be focused in their "infinity" mode for things to not be blurry.īut the TV screen is only, like, 21" away from your eyes, and requires an up-close focus. It's automatic and I had no idea we do it. The weird thing about it though is this: you are totally used to automatically shifting your eyes' focus point to "long distance" when you glance at your mirror. It is amazingly real - I didn't know it was in screen mode till the salesman flipped it and suddenly an enormous spare tire blocked 79% of my view out the back. The mirror has a toggle under it that changes from mirror to screen, meaning you can run in camera mode full time. I just did a long test drive of a Defender 110. Plenty of modern cars have screens that do not have touch functionality. Or with a screen that is controlled by a separate device like my Audi.
