I don't think Europe and Japan have to worry about that.

We also have key holes on the driver door and center taillight bar.

Hopefully the trunk key hole isn't as noticeable inside the black trim, that doesn't look pretty. The render gives the illusion that the logo is off center.

If those are rear side markers, are they even necessary? The rear lights wrap around the bumper already, maybe they don't direct enough light sideways?

If you didn't notice them before, do they really break up the line that much?

It's harder to notice something on an all grey rendering. Assuming that this will be a red reflector, yes I do think it will break up the lines.

Why buy a BMW and have to get it serviced at a Toyota dealership. Just get a Japanese Renault instead.

Actually it allows you to close the hood without touching the top of the hood, leaving fingerprints, smudges, scratches etc.....glass half full

My cars keep so much ceramic coating and wax on that fingerprints are invisible.

There's no way it will be that light and most likely not that powerful either, at least the non-Nismo version. If I'm wrong, I'll be eat my hat and put in a pre-order.

Now that's modern-retro done right. I've read it basically shares the same bones as the current 370Z, is this true? Or is it more like the Q60 with its engine and chassis?
