Will the next Nissan Z car be a crossover?

/Angelo350Z/ · 08-31-2015, 11:11 PM

^^ Wow, I can't believer Nissan actually responded so quickly.

Wait, so is this rumor true?

When I bought my Z 6 yrs ago, I did think if I missed this gen I would probably never own a Z. I guess my hunch may be sound afterall..

They must know we mad

I really hope they just kill the Z line instead of bastardizing it this way.

Sounds like its OVER for sports coupes. Read below!

Seems like everyone is adding SUV's of all sizes. Look at Honda & Lincoln.

That's another reason I bought the Z now, because I figured the next one would by a 4 cylinder hybrid or eliminated. As a Honda fan, I'm disgusted with Honda's lack of sports cars.

Report: Nissan to unveil SUV successor to 370Z

Designer Shiro Nakamura: "Z is made not necessarily to be a pure sports car,"!!!
"Because the original 240Z is not really a pure sports car, it's more like... lifestyle, and trendy"!
"Z is not a pure sports car - GT-R is a pure sports car, performance is number one - but for Z, not necessarily is performance number one."

“We need to take another path. I feel Z needs more revolution than evolution.” 1.6-litre turbo!

"350Z, 370Z, I don't think the next one will be 390Z. It's not growing, it's already big enough. I don't think we should go any higher, maybe go backwards."

90s babies are starting to have the same effect on the auto industry as they did on the music industry.

I fear literature is next up on their unholy path to destruction.

MagmaRed370z · 09-01-2015, 08:38 AM

If this is true, then I will keep my current 370z forever. Resale values will go up. Crossover? Really? This is a disgrace to Z heritage.

kenchan · 09-01-2015, 08:55 AM

they going to call it Zuke?

mishuko · 09-01-2015, 09:05 AM

i hope they don't make it look like the velocitaraptor from hyundai although the rumor mill has been strong in this one.

i ALMOST want to trade up for the new nismo except 3 problems.

1) artificial sound/dampening/engine pumping thru speakers
2) trading with very little equity
3) having to remove then re-install my stillen breathers

meh not worth it. i'll just get a m2 for the next car or something lol

After reading this thread I actually thought the same thing trading for a new Nismo but for the same reasons as your except for number three I think I will just wait for actual news and then decide from there.

You can easily undo #1
Sell your stilled breathers for $420, buy silicone hoses and K&N air filters and realize how much torque you actually lost down low by having the stickers in the first place.

You'll have $200 to put toward a meaningful MOD.

Of all things the Z can become? It's an embarrassment to the sports car world. I suddenly respect Honda and Toyota for just killing their sports cars in the late 90's early 2000, instead of embarrassing and shaming their loyalists with this type of news.

Maybe it's just a negative rumor to push customers into a Z before its too late? I dunno. But this is disgusting, nauseating and shameful.
