This better be a really nice truck.

All this speculation. Just give us the details!

In my personal opinion.... This concept is another damn car that Nissan are not going to make... If they are going to release something new into production... they have to start making the damn IDX Nismo... just my 2 cents...

Ok... is a damn crossover is not a Z

sorry for those how are waiting the next Z concept

the overall car does look like a next gen juke with the short overhangs. I see design language in the top half that could influence a new Z though ( grill hood A pillar roofline) as the video talks about the future of the 2 seater sports car

I kinda like it....

It really looks like an evolution of the Juke. Nissan has made terrible decisions in the past, but I doubt they'll $h1t on the Z's heritage by turning the legend into a crossover.

Z_ealot · 09-15-2015, 08:40 AM

Lmao, i knew it....all this fear mongering and over reacting for something that isnt even remotely a replacement for the Z

By Zeus's beard It IS the Z35 and all of you shall covet it!!!

I owned a Juke for a few months before I traded it in for the 370Z. The styling was subjective, but it was undeniably practical and fun to drive. If Nissan is successful in improving the Juke with this new crossover, I'm on board.

sounds good man... i love the way that the nismo juke look and i dont hear nothing bad about it... my only problem with Nissan is that why they only make the Juke Nismo AWD on CVT transmission only

if the make the STD version awd too i think it would be perfect... anyway... back to the Gripz... looks great in my opinion and in the teaser video they look like they have a VQ engine on it... that is something interesting

not to get too off topic but I bought a 2015 Juke NISMO RS AWD /CVT in March and its pretty much the only thing I drive day in and day out. ive done everything with it taken it to the track the drag strip and autoX too. the CVT isnt bad the only time I had it not do what I needed it to do is on a tight autoX track even in manual mode when I would brake hard or slow down and then get back on the power it would be in 3rd screwing up my run when I needed it to be in 1st. on a actual road course I just left it in "D" and it did fine. its a cool car ive got all the NISMO add ons for it like the NISMO CAI NISMO -35mm springs ect

I think the Z is dead until the market recovers. Kind of like the several year gap between the Z32 and Z33.
