Looks to have the latest and greatest, Android Auto / Apple Car Play will keep the headunit "fresh" for a while I feel.

Just leave it off and lower the overall price of the car if you're not going to fix it.

They flat out pulled this out back in 2013

Still had to replace with a new failure prone part for hundreds of dollars. Really? That much for a little plastic piece of ****, and you don't fix it when you realize so many people are having a problem with it?

Yeah, I don't think they fixed this.....willing to bet this will be a straight up carry over part.

Trunk that won't open because of a shitty piece of plastic spring. Nuff said. Had the issue within six months. People on youtube putting pennnies in there. So how does that inspire me to have confidence in your engineering? A couple ******* pennies can fix it, but you can't? lol.

Some 10mm bolts would be nice for that application, in there are any mechanical engineers working for you, they'd know what I'm talking about.
Did I miss anything? Feel free to add on. Overall I'm happy with my 2011 370, but this **** here feels like something from Fisher Price, not a well engineered machine.

I was hoping for more storage on the inside ala 350Z, looks like it's a carry over from the 370Z. There's going to be a hell of a lot of "Carry Over" I fear.

A fuel pickup in the tank that won’t fuel starve at almost a full tank when on r comps, (yes, that happens, somehow Nissan seems to have defied physics but they did).
Real performance seats that do a better job. New nismo is an improvement but still could be better
Diff cooler
A metal csc for fvck’s sake
Brake cooling/improved calipers, rotors and pads
I’m sure there’s more, but that’s the short list.

VR30 doesn't have the cooling issues the shoehorned VQ37 did
Carry over
Seats are going to stay comfortable for GenPop, Nismo will have the seats we're looking for
A metal CSC, I hope like hell they are listening but realistically it'll be another carry over part...hell we need to be thankful we got a stick to go with that plastic CSC
Dunno about cooling, Akebonos are the "base" calipers now and Brembos are the upgrade
- Dunno if GenPop is ready for how rotor hungry Akebonos are
