Anyone care to state an opinion on the first concept new Z? If my memory is correct I believe it was proposed in 1999, was built on the S14 (240SX) chassis, and looked much more like the original 240Z. I remember the reason Nissan had it redone from scratch was because they didnt want their new cars to look too retro; they needed to show that they were moving forward.
Good idea or bad idea? Heck, it would have been a cool car to drive, but I like the current concept far better. Plus, I think only domestic (U.S.) car companies can pull off "the retro" look, prime examples being the PT Cruiser, and upcoming Thunderbird.

...I would get the next Z, and buy that one-off concept from the company too.
