:mad:

They didn't have to kill the Z this way, it's insulting!
They could simply halt production and that's it.

Maybe I'm in denial but it seems like these articles are jumping to conclusions. I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that Nissan has not said anything about killing the Z or this thing being the Z replacement. There have been comments as posted earlier, but I don't think this is what they were referring to. I could be delusional, but I'm still holding out hope.

Frankfurt Motor Show - Nissan teases crossover

I didint see much here but a bicycle, some headlights and some dudes/dudets leg. LOL

Yeah this will not wear a Z Badge, I think that Nissan is now playing around with their peeps.

The next Z will be quad turbo 2 cyl engine with an electric engine making total HP of 400hp. IT will only come equipped with a dual clutch tran.
LOL

That would be crazy but seeing as Nissan has been on a roll lately something close to this would not surprise me. gripZ LOL

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 :confused: 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 :stirthepot:

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

Just to further confirm this is not a replacement for the 370Z here's this: https://www.yahoo.com/autos/news/nis...140000666.html

I just read the article. Thank god it's not a Z replacement. I can see the crossover platform being added to the Z family of coupes and roadsters though. Could the Gripz indicate what the Z35 might look like?

Ihope soo... cause the body looks something like a 240z.. well is inspired on a rally 240z :rolleyes: hahaha! lets see what happen

Looks like that will be the second generation Juke, quite an improvement if the design holds.

Yeah it's much better-looking than the current Juke.
