It received 2 exterior changes, an interior upgrade, and 2 other engine improvements. My '08 HR Z feels such an upgrade compared to my '04 DE Z. I doubt we can say the same between the '09 and '14 Z.
Totally agree with you but isn't there only so much that you can do with this car while keeping price competitive? They could have squeezed in turbo or a bigger motor but that would jack it up taking it out of reach for a lot of people. Also, weren't there signs of waning sales and interest making it a tough call for Nissan to improve.
