*smh* No guys, this is NOT happening. Different car segments, different cars.

I can understand the "business case" argument, but isn't there a business argument for generating brand excitement? 98% of Nissan customers can't afford a GTR, and after that the next most "sporty" car is the Maxima. I'd hate for Nissan to turn into Toyota, where other than the FR-S, there is NOTHING intriguing in that entire lineup. Same with Honda, actually, since the NSX is apparently going to be delayed until 2037.

I think crossovers are too young to be all over the road yet like SUVs were like, ten years ago after they exploded in the 90s. I'm under the impression current buying trends are like, 99% crossovers.

Honestly if I was looking for a practical DD and wasn't too concerned with performance, I'd be checking them out. My sister has a CX-5, and it's pretty nice.

it´s more likely that the Z34 is the last Z than that this will happen, IMHO

Im with some of the other guys on this. Not a chance of this being the next Z. Theres no way that Nissan will stop selling the Z as a sports car.

FairladyZ40th · 08-27-2015, 01:05 PM

Here a concept of that I guess...

I agree... If Nissan does that then the Z will completely lose its attributes in every possible way.

All I can say is that I am happy that I have the OG version then, literally OG lol
2009 haha, first year of the VQ37 and first year for the new body style of the Z.

If they end up changing the Z to what they are thinking then the newer Z's will die and not be popular at all and enthusiasts will lose all interest, but all of us that end up having to part with our OG Z's in the coming years, they will definitely be worth more than they were before lol.
No one who actually wants a legit 370z will not want to buy one of the new ones listed for about 35-40k, but that means we are able to ask more for our original Z's cause its either they pay us for what they want or they can go spend more on a new one they don't want. Supply and Demand *BANHAMMER SLAM*
If they do screw it, we will whomp on some new Z's that people think are cool and fast as hell lol, bring em on!

Similar situation right now.....

Kinda like how there is a thread right now to bring back the Tommy Kaira Hebi Babi knobs' but now they will be made with Polished Titanium which will weigh about a 1/5 to 2/3 the weight of the original Hebi Babi knob like I have; which is made of brass steel and weighs almost 1.5lbs itself. I do not know if the vendor will be Tommy Kaira or not because of the material change and the fact that I do not believe that Tommy Kaira will ever come back to make the original Hebi Babi Shift knobs. From what I understand with the new shift knobs they won't be called the Hebi Babi or relate to anything like that. If the vendor is different idk if they will hold the Tommy Kaira name either.

If they produce the new ones, they will be expensive yeah cause it is a collector's name brand, but mine will become even more valuable that it was when they didn't exist anymore

Yeah right! Nissan will never do this to the heritage of the Z. This article is just bullcrap. AND if true, then awesome because the value of our current Zs are going to go UP!
