IMO that car lacks soul and distinctive qualities.  These:

have so much more soul.  The Nissan Z car is so, hm, sterile.  Nothing
about it stands out to me - it all seems to be a rehash of "safe" and
"accepted" ideas about automotive styling.  Even Chevy, the posterchild
for non-innovation these days, has the new BelAir which is a step in the
right direction.

Cars are too plain these days.  I really like to see distinctive
styling, even if it is butt-ugly to some people...
