Is Nissan retiring the Z after 2018

Zoren 370

While I agree Change is the only permanent thing in this word. I certainly believe ICE engines as engineers call it now. The last time I heard they call it carbureted engines lol I guess that gives away my age. It would take a lot of money hungry politicians to pass a law completely banning petrol gas powered cars. As far as GM is concerned Corvette is a separate segment or dividion, more so like (the GTR for Nissan or M cars for BMW).

Corvette represents American muscle car heritage there is still a bigger segment of baby boomers and serior American cater to the brand. I may agree that the majority of their portfolio would be on electric cars as future younger generations would probably cater to it as much they favor their iphones, electronic gadgets...plus the government initiative to give discounts to electric cars vs gas guzzlers tax.

I dont think all the muscle cars you mentioned would eventually be obsolete, they might offer a hybrid but that would only be a nitch market for the affluent.

Like I said the money hungry politicians and the Shiek of Saudi Arabia and the likes of the Bush's in Texas. They would still need to feed their hunger for more wealth to ban completely petrol engines.

But If does happens I will be glad that Im no longer in that generation of this world. Im happy for today. I let the future worry for itself.
