And if I wanted a car with no amenities I'd just buy a race car which does what you're describing far better. It's 2016, a radio that can interact with devices via Bluetooth/USB is pretty much standard on most makes/models. This isn't a major request and every automotive manufacturer in the world is on board for this. Hence my point. I'm about to purchase a $400 radio for mine, if people are paying $20k for a proper audio system then they're f*cking stupid.

If I'm buying a car that was at one point $35k+ and a 2013 model year, I want it to come with a radio that is better than what came in a 1998 BMW 330i. That's not too much to ask.

Didn't the tech package already address all of that stuff?

I'm much more concerned about there not being any meaningful performance upgrades over 9 model years dating back to 2009.

Right, in 2014 they did. Mine being a '13 didn't even have that option, which is still outclassed by pretty much EVERYONE in 2013. It's sad when a aftermarket $400 head unit will absolutely mud-stomp the OEM unit which would make sense, you know, were this 2005.

The performance aspect will likely be addressed on when they change bodystyles. The Q60 uses the VR30DDTT, I'd imagine it's going to be the new 6 cyl option for the Z along with whatever 4cyl they decide to give it. Personally, I wouldn't mind that new light weight Nismo motor they developed in my current chassis. Would make one hell of a road race car.

Who needs an advance infotainment system when I have my full ARK exhaust system doing an orchestra at 3k rpm. Lol

But I know what you mean....I agree with you on a certain extent.

Maybe I'm a dinosaur but I rarely listen to music when I'm driving anyway.

Lol I'm old school too Duc.

If Nissan said, "We're making a pure sports car with no infotainment." I'd be all in... I guess ud feel that way cuz I chose the model with no infotainment system. I added a infotainment head unit. But not for that purpose. It was to up the SQ with an aftermarket system.

The system on our 2016 Nismo is not too bad. Not great but listenable. It really would not cost them much to make Carplay and Android Auto available.

Yeah infotainment always gets left behind tech wise and the manufacturers have no plans to update the software in them so I truly don't care about that.

Things I'd like to see:

3100lbs
350-400hp
Better brakes
Higher quality materials inside
Less road noise
No stupid nissan vmotion corporate grill

there haven't been any new news since 2009 except for the nismo redesign

UNKNOWN_370

You forgot the addition of a substandard oil cooler for 2012+ models.

Question: Are all 370Zs from 2012 equipped with the additional coolers ?

Yes.... every single one. Nissan only adds body bracing and coils to a Nismo with a more aggressive tune & exhaust. Then the body kit. But there are NO changes to the physical power plant.

Yup. Unbolt it, back over it, and install an aftermarket one that actually works.
