I'll vote other. The Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo is a timeless car and will never be outdated. The headlight design was such a magnification invention, Lamborghini bough the rights from Nissan to use them on the 90's Diablo cars as everyone has seen. It set the stage for the other manufactures to set up and when it came to America. The 300ZX received many awards including Motor Trend “Import Car of the Year;” Automobile All-Star 1990-94; Automobile “Design of the Year;” Car and Driver and Road & Track both named 300ZX to their respective “10 Best” lists

Also in 1990 the American Z sales surpassed the 1 million-sales mark ( all model Z cars ), becoming the all-time best selling sports car.

Are you sure Lamborghini actually bought the rights and it's not a myth? Rectangular covered headlamps have been around a lot longer than even the 300ZX after all.

There is a striking resemblance, but unless they are the actual 300ZX units it seems like something that Lambo could get away with.



If it's true, makes me wonder how Ferrari got away with this.


Good call on the 300ZX being among the best looking Japanese sports cars, the lines are timeless.

got to be the skyline there isnt any other japanese car thats close realy

[bleh]

the skyline probably performs the best, however its not that attractive looking. it definitely took tough, but i would say there are many cars that look much more sleak and sporty. the skyline looks like it beats up things.

think of it this way, the skyline has very masculine physical attributes, bulging muscles....err fenders. you know what i mean it looks more like a tank. the wrx is the same way.

where as other cars like the nsx, rx7, or the s15 silvia are sleak and almost delicate looking implying femine characteristics but with the precision of a finely tuned watch like a modern fighter jet.

ill be a bit of a lemon but for me the nissan R390 is the best looking japanese supercar esque sportscar it will always stand out to me as a triumph of design, a lot of japanese sports cars look good they are not as beutiful as some of the euro cars or as stylish and classy but they ooze function and how advamced cars have become, i agree with what late night cable said as well, the lines of the 300ZX are timeless and it is a beautiful car and the NSX is a very pretty car and has the looks of much more expensive cars but ill stick with the R390 it is a lovely car in my eyes but maybe not in others

[bleh]

o yea good call on the r390!!

[wEstSide]

I must admit that he's right. I didn't even think of the R390.

Mkiv Supra's are the sexiest looking Japanese car. Nothing looks similar to it. Plus they have the performance to match. Skylines arent that great looking as its only their rep that makes them popular. Rx7's are nice but the Ford Probe looks to similar. NSX's are my 2nd fav. I own a SW20 MR2 Turbo and i also love the look, especially with the veilside kit i have on
