I personally am not convinced there will necessarily be a ‘next Z’ (as much as I’d love one). Most of what I’ve seen on line are either rumors, speculation, and wishful thinking from enthusiasts, and non-commital mumbling or downplaying by Nissan, with comments like ‘it’s tough to make a business case for a new sports car’, or some gibberish about the ‘spirit of the Z living on in another form’ (probably meaning some SUV/crossover abomination).
IF there is a new Z, I imagine it would almost certainly be based on the current Infiniti Q60 coupe (the same platform sharing as before), which would most likely mean no manual transmission (a deal killer for me) as the Infiniti doesn’t have one, and pricing likely similar to the Q60.
Just my 2 cents, and certainly worth less than that.
