Why? Because the Mustang market generates sales and right now, the BRZ is looking to be a flash in the pan.

Agreed, I posted a comment on this earlier plus the sales numbers for the Mustang, Camaro and C7 Vette as that's a 2 seater. If Nissan wants to move cars, this is the area to compete in, not the BRZ arena as it's market is just too small.

This **** is OLD. The text is far older than 1/2015. I remember reading exactly that at least 10 months ago. I think that site is just garbled news IMO.

Tadpole · 03-19-2015, 01:54 PM

The projected price is expected to be lower than price of the 370Z.

RicerX · 03-19-2015, 02:12 PM

I'm just laughing so hard right now going through what people on this forum want to see in the next Z.

"I want to have a chick that's my main chick, looks like Kate Upton but a bit leaner, has a Kim Kardashian-esque complexion but doesn't wear stupid clothes, is well spoken like Erin Andrews but doesn't sound like her, has legs like Anna Kournikova but is shorter than me, and has an accent like Kate Beckinsale. I want all of those things, but I never want to have to pay her compliments when I don't feel like it, I want her to be ok with it if I want a side chick, I never want to listen to her problems, I never want to have to spend money on her, I never want her to gain weight after having babies, and I never want her to get attention from any other dudes."

MAKE IT HAPPEN NISSAN - the Nissan 370 Katekardashikovale Utility Coupe.

If such a chick existed, maybe three of us would actually make a move to pick her up while the rest wait around for her to go through a couple of dudes so her value will "depreciate" first. And then of course, we would have all the armchair quarterbacks that would never hope for any success in that endeavor, and would come back with "elbows too pointy. would not."

Well, if that rendering is accurate, then it's either C7, P85 Tesla, or 991 P-car for me....I'm a waiting.

Ill just drop whatever supercharged, TT, direct injection, V8, 8 liter, hybrid, 9000 RPM monstrosity they come up with right into my 09 chassis (as soon as I blow up my VQ that is) That way I can keep my fangs!

I know that over the past few months we have speculated, talked about, and argued over many rumors and leaked details over the very secretive new Z.

only details we have had to go on so far is some possibilities tossed in interviews from Nissan execs and the details of the 2016 Q60 that was shown. the details of that debut has given us all renewed hope and dreams of the next Z will/can offer.

now for the fun stuff:

last night I stopped by the Pittsburgh auto show for it's last night of the event. very nice to go last day since the crowd was very small and made it easy to navigate. and yes I know this isn't a bug name auto show and what could possibly come from it but you'd be surprised as to what you can hear from reps at these shows as well. I learned this last night first hand.

stopped at the infiniti area and was looking around. I made a comment as to why they didn't have a Q60 there mostly joking since again this isn't one of the top tier locations for auto makers and shows. the rep I was with went on to tell me they actually had one coming but due to the winter storms their truck hauling a few vehicles could not make it.

he then went on to tell me (off the record of course) that the Q80 is pretty much shelved for now and if anything it'll be a loooooooong shot 2017/18 idea.....if anything at all. I guess cutting into the GT-R market is still a big no no.

he also said that due to design stuff and some other issues we will be seeing a Z prior to the Q60 launch. so I would take from that comment that the Q60 is delayed at least a year now as well. also mentioned that the Z update has a chance of early 2016 release but most likely will be a fall 2016 if all goes according to plan.

the Z will most likely be TT since he smirked and asked "do you think you're ready for over 400 horsepower?"

I would assume with the few big car shows coming up we should be getting some new solid info on the Z very soon.

note: this was all just discussion between a rep. so please if anything doesn't end up being true remember I never said this is guaranteed. i'm just helping out the community with sharing info that was told to me. if not true then I am sorry and will be just as sad as the rest of you.

for the...POSSIBLE..... info

Just saw a post that nissan is bringing a Z concept to ZdayZ next week. Im hoping that it is for the new Z and not a hyped up way of saying it's the convertible 2105 nismo that they showed a while back.

I will be there with my phone and a camera for pics. Let's all hope it's the next Z. I will post once I get home from ZdayZ next Sunday.

It's not that great nor do I feel it's a "concept" since it's coming out or already is an order option.

Hopin for a next gen concept.

Yea i really hope it's a true concept at least something to keep the excitement for a new Z alive.

Any pics I get ill post Sunday night or Monday. Not sure what time I'll be getting in on Sunday and there's no service at zdayz lol

LAVA · 05-09-2015, 02:38 PM

I would be absolutely shocked if they do bring an actual concept car to ZdayZ, but I guess anything is possible. However it would be a great place to a get a lot of feedback from their core demographic, which would make sense.
