Looks like a mix of Toyota Celica and Audi TT.

It looks pretty good, but I like the concept better...except the friggin' auto tranny...what's that all about???

hold on a sec...




Notice any similarities? There also shouldn't be a strong highlight just above the front bumper, if you notice the principal light source is far right, not far left. This is definitely weak Photoshop work, not a spy photo of the new Nissan front end.

hell I didn't even notice this until now, check out the side mirror! Definitely someone used an S2000 shot to make that thing. And why in the world does it have a fake front plate on anyways?

I came across this video of an interview with a nissan rep. He talks about the speed, pricing and availability of the new z:

I personally like the "spy photo" Z better. Too bad its not going to happen. Oh well. Its about time that they continued the Z legacy though.
