What do you think of the new Nissan Z and Toyota GR 86?

the Nissan z and Toyota 86 will be soon The hearts and minds of drivers around the world are vying for each other and even though they are not 1: 1 competitors, it can be assumed that they are speaking more or less to the same person.

I will not say that the Nissan Z will save Nissan, and I will not say that the GR 86 will prove those who swore the previous version of the fair car need more power. But I will say that these two machines seem do theirs nameplates Justice.

I like idea the 86 more than the Z. I’ll be taking a naturally aspirated motor on forced induction all day because I’m a romantic, but forced induction has come a long way too. The virtual elimination of turbo-lag in recent years has really weakens the argument against turbocharged power plants.

Again, while I like the idea of ​​the 86, the design of the new Z is awesome back and forth. The interior is exciting! The cabin is creative, but not for itself. The changes look really functional – like those awesome door vents that clean the dashboard.

Doing something different and functional is not always easy. When I look at the rest of the Z, overall I think it’s better designed than the Toyota, which I feel is okay but without the distinctive features of the Z.

Also, I have to say they look a bit alike. Am I the only one to see this? Of course both are sports cars, but overall I think they have very similar front ends and you I can’t say the same about previous generations of these cars. However, due to the cool design elements of the new Z, the 86 ends up looking a bit boring in comparison.

And you? What do you think of these new old cars? What do you think of the new Nissan Z and Toyota GR 86?
