samsung and the galaxy phones (supposedly the galaxy 7 will come with a 30 MP camera?), apple and the iphones/iproducts, etc.

honda with the supposed return of the s2000, acura working on producing the nsx again, toyota with the supra, etc., etc.

bottom line: until the actual product is FOR SALE, everything is all speculation.
Agreed, but Nissan seems to have alienated their loyalists just when sales shot up.

I'm just hoping. The q60 is said to get the turbo 6. So bopecully Nissan will follow suit? But I also hear there's a lowered interest in sports cars because CROSSOVERS are the new enthusiast car of choice.

Quick change in topic
The HTC One m9 is an awesome phone but predictive text is waaaaayyy to eager.

True, and that's the nature of the game lol. Honestly, I stopped paying attention to the press because nobody really knows that their companies will produce until it is actually produced.

Even though Nissan/Infiniti are essentially the same company, they're geared towards different audiences. Nissan is like Michelle Rodriguez, a bad@$$ with a raw attitude, while Infiniti is more like Jessica Alba, classy and conservative yet sexy.

Regarding the crossovers comment, they say that the DCT is the new manual, but let's be honest, people will always want to row through that gearbox manually and will always be around.

Truly, it is quite simple.



All this talk and wasted energy about what the future Z may or may not be is a huge waste of time. Who cares about the next Z? Is it here now? No. Can any of us change it? No. Is it all just conjecture and meaningless fluff? Yes. Are dogs superior pets to cats? Yes.



Enjoy what you have. Make the best of it. Live in the present. Stop worrying. Be the young willow tree bending in the wind. Embrace the "Now". Use the Force. Feel the burn. Nuke a gay whale for Jesus. Trump 2016. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Go Navy. Be the man. Love your Mom. Pillage before you burn. Never run with scissors.


Can't argue with that logic.

I'm getting so sick of the stupid Nissan rumor mill that I want to sell mine and never look back purely on principle alone. Nissan is annoying. There rumor mill is so annoying to listen to. I done lost all interest in Nissans BS and all car companies that want to pussify there vehicles
FR-S
BRZ
AND Z???????

F*#KIN really???????
Does Nissan even come to this Forum? Or any F*#KIN forum. What's next, the maxima transmission with fake gear shifts in sport mode??????

The most annoying rumor mill in automotive history is the legacy of the Nissan Z. I don't even care anymore. We're nearly 2 years behind to receive a shytmobile like the BRZ?
"Prius tires makes it ride on rails. 151lb tq makes you fall asleep"

And that's what Nissan is possibly choosing to compete with????????

I'm done. Rant over
You want to sell your car over rumors about a car we know no actual details about? How exactly does that "stick it" to Nissan? Ya know nuthin, Unknown 370z.

I wasn't being literal. And not selling my Z. Just uptight with Nissan Z press. That's why it's called a rant.. I been waiting on Z news to add a Z. But I'm headed to test drive a Bette now.
And Z sales are so low... Nissan doesn't need to detract future Z owners. I'm a test drive the NismoZ if I find a dealer who has one for testing?

If Nissan is competing with that? Might as well get a civic-r
