The 2+2 looks like an obese pig of a car, after you've looked at enough of them.
It's 8" longer, the gas door is in the wrong place, the quarter window glass is too big, the hood is too short proportionally to the car's length, etc.
Not to mention, 2+2's didn't come Twin Turbo in the United States, and they're heavier.
The rear seats are also basically useless.
And they cannot run as straight (i.e. as good performing) of an exhaust as the coupes because the fuel tank sits too low in the chassis.

I wouldn't say the 2 + 2 rear seats are completely useless.... 2 + 2's are better for two things... A. Long road trips (you can recline the seats all the way back, making it a much nicer nap when you pull over to take a nap from driving) OR B. If you enjoy the company of ladies (for the same reason as napping, seats recline further hehehehehe).
But no seriously, the seats aren't completely useless, only about 90% useless, if someone needs a ride bad enough they'll make themselves fit.

LOL, nice. But seriously I'm 21 so my friends aren't that big..and they are mostly fit ladies. The depth of the bucket seats (i find) kinda compensates for the lessened leg room.
I like the look of my 2+2, to each their own i guess...

Nissan did end up going with the 2+2 dimensions on their race cars for more stability.
The back seats are handy to put stuff on long trips and they are just fine for small children and petite sexy women. Plus more than a few men have gotten married had kids and have had to sell their 2 seat sports car to buy a minivan. I just stick the kids in the back of the Z.
If you want a 2+2 TT then you can always convert one.
