In before the move!

LOL...that is because you don't no they are riding a girl's bike too! :stirthepot:

Never been a fan of yellow cars.

Not feeling that at all, it may be just a tad better in the black but not all that.......

Hrmn ....
 

I don't really see a problem with Nissan releasing this "Heritage edition", as long as it's not priced that much higher than the base 370Z? It sounds like you may get a better clutch than the notoriously troublesome one they've included up till now? And the yellow color and stickers may or may not be your thing, but at least it's a new option. Just by the fact it'll probably be available for 1 year only, it means it could have some collector value down the road.

I think it's pretty clear by now that Nissan is nearing the end of the road for selling the 370Z as we know it. It makes sense to offer it in some kind of limited edition trim as a way to close out the line, for people who still want to buy one before it goes away or gets a radical redesign.

Where are you getting this from?

Heritage edition
 

Anyone see this new heritage edition 370z? I feel this was a waste of money to even develop some stripes and yellow interior pieces. Just thought I would post this up for fellow z fans to see, who knows maybe someone will love it. I am glad to see chicane yellow back on the line up but I can't handle the yellow interior pieces.

Nope, you are the first to find this. Yellow was in the line up for 2017.

IBTM.

Wow, not a fan.
Can't tell if the handles are gunmetal but if they are I'm gonna have to get a set to match my 14 Nismo wheels

Hate the yellow although I did like the speculation of a 50th anniversary edition in 2019. Hope.fully they won't be Chicane Yellow.

Kick the turntable, the record is skipping.

I heard there will also be a black one.

The Jalopnik take on the news: The 2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition Is A Reminder That Nissan Still Doesn

(pretty much what you would expect from Jalopnik :) )

Yuk

Good way to ruin the Z's heritage

Get the cool headlights off the bat. Otherwise lack of sport package is appaling.

But whatevs really. Just Nissan trying to finish off their supply.

Color me unimpressed yellow

I believe trippps said it was an April Fools joke. There is no heritage edition

Fkin ugly

I guess a new clutch and restyled headlights/taillights, rear facia will be good for the Z

Hmmm...seems like no joke...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b98d6baa47.jpg

Belated April Fool's joke? :ugh2:

Nissan can't be fucking serious... :eekdance:

The only thing that could make that car look good is its entry in a demolition derby.

Jeez, I hope so.

Then again...

Maybe the black and silver version looks less awful.

I like how they call it a "celebration of performance" but apply the package to a base model...

It is not an April Fool's joke ...

GT-R Track Edition is probably why they half-assed the Z.

All things said..... we'll all just have to wait a little longer for an answer. In the meantime I'm enjoying the heck out of my white 2015 370Z Nismo.

You mean the gt-r grand sport?

Hertz rental :)

Looks like the UK striped model in 2009.

Not impressed with the interior yellow accents though.

I would rather have a yellow over a run of the mill and like everyone else black, greys or white any day.

But that's just me and no offense to those run of the mill colors owners

Not a fan

Ok. I hate Jalopnik.

If you don't want to read a profanity-laden rant about stupid car hipsters, feel free to roll on out of here now.

My first caveat is this: the "heritage edition" 370Z is an absolute joke and it falls in line with Nissan's recent trend of injecting "excitement" into its lineup by exploring the color palette. It doesn't even come with the sports package! But let's talk about the 370Z itself and its last 9 model years of being a pretty damn good sports car, since the writer and commenters in this article are seizing the opportunity to s*** on the Z once more regardless of this heritage garbage.

The definition of affordable on Jalopnik is so variable it’s laughable when many can justify an ND Miata club at $30k as the second coming of Jesus, then turn around and laud a 370Z at $30k as “Nissan not giving a s*** about affordable sports cars” when a Z runs circles around a Miata or BRZ, stock for stock, any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I don't care if you like a Miata - I happen to like the Miata a lot myself, but let's not be ignorant fornicates with double standards here. Why don't we just be true to ourselves, Jalopnik-peeps? You don't buy anything anyway. Why should the car market give a f*** about what you have to say? Did you buy a BRZ new? You clamored and preached and begged for it, and you didn't f**king buy one. No one is buying them now. You didn't buy one because it didn't have another 100hp, right? Even with another 100hp, it's short on what the 370Z offers performance-wise for similar money... so what makes the Z a piss poor sports car offering? (You could probably even say the 370Z is the existing reason why they didn't build a BRZ with 300hp - because even with another 100hp, the BRZ still wouldn't f**king matter. No one is buying those or 370Zs today). The real reason the writers and commenters at Jalopnik (and most of car culture in general) are IRRELEVANT to the car market is because they won't buy anything until it has 150k miles on the clock and sitting on a used car lot anyway. Put up for a new one and help drive the market or shut the f*** up. It's not because the Z is a bad or unaffordable sports car. It's not because the BRZ doesn't have enough power. It's because at the end of the day, you don't f**king matter, because you'll still find some obscure reason like "too heavy" or "not enough power" or "elbows too pointy" to not buy one and stick to your caramel macchiatos and Mitsubishi Eclipses instead. Save your infinite wisdom for strangers at Starbucks that don't know any better.

The 370Z is one of the last true sports car offerings on the market, period. Most that s*** on them have never driven one. Hydraulic power steering (that's not numb like the overdriven steering systems in the Mustangs they seem so fond of in this article), a fantastic power-to-weight ratio and weight balance(because that’s the stat that really matters, so save me the BRZ lightweight and tossable comments), and a fantastic suspension out of the box with a great wheel and tire package on the sport models (not Prius wheels like the BRZ), and for a great price in today’s market. It's loud, it's raucous, it's raw. It's everything Jalops say they love in a sports car, and yet they never hesitate to s*** on it when you get the chance. Even better, adjust for inflation, and the price of this car absolutely eclipses the 90s-era cars they all wish they had every three articles they post on that tired site. (Aside from the Two articles about Miatas and another about Donald Trump. Give me a f**king break.) It's even sillier in the case of the BRZ - adjust for inflation and it's cheaper than the 240SX ever was.

So the final shred of credit I will give Nissan is this - they're still building the 370Z despite having plenty of justification for axing it. Maybe they still give somewhat of a s*** about building sports cars? They seem to be dying in the face of crossovers these days, so let's not take cars like the 370Z for granted. Mark my words - you’ll miss this car when it’s gone and the Mustangs of the world are driving you around the track instead. Sure, it has its flaws like every other car, but it's damn good. It's also damn affordable.

So maybe it's not that Nissan doesn't give a s*** about affordable sports cars. Bring up the iDX all you want - you would have never bought the goddamn thing when it came out anyway. Maybe it's that you millennial douchers need to stop confusing "what I can afford" with "affordability" and spinning it into criticisms against car makers who are offering great s*** regardless of the adversity in the car market. Like typical millennials, it's always someone else's fault. Grow the f*** up and try harder.

And shut the f*** up about politics on a car blog. The reason why we have things like hobbies is to escape the bullsh*t in the world today. Way to ruin it by crying about Donald Trump every 15 ******* seconds.

Spot on review;

it's like they don't give a **** that it lost weight and gained power over the outgoing 08 350z HR.
or that fact that you can pick up a base version for cheaper than the new FT86....
Not even mentioning the vq powerplant, this engine is very underappreciated, let's see its making 332hp and not ******** out ringlands/eating valves

at one point I was considering selling the Z for something new, but - look at the market,
What else can I buy for ~30k that will give me the same level of performance, driving enjoyment?

the only negative they have for it is age, and looks.
-age? not really a negative - the Z is becoming the ak47 of sports car, been out for a long time, reliable, performs when asked.
-looks ; subjective, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Ibtm

My man, hunid grand!!!!!
Always dropping the Jew-elz in a bolus so everybody can get the impenetrable truth and a dose of fvckin enthusiast reality.

Thanks for saying what we feel in such an amazing way. Post this on jalopniks faghot forum. If they have one?

Fvck Jalopnik. I get criticized for criticizing them. This is like every post I ever posted against them in a longer singular post.

Jalopnik needs to read this.

Now we just have to figure out if the GT-R tack edition seats will fit in a Z.

I agree except the generalized Millenial bashing. Every generation has their slackers and every generation always gets ragged on when they are the young one. I am an X'er, btw.

Its understandable that you dislike Jalopnik for their content and their news aggregation system under Gawker, but leave "millennials" out of it.

Now let's get back on topic. Chances of the yellow being chosen because of excess paint from 09?

I have no idea who Jalopnik is, but fvck that guy!

...and the horse he rode into town on.

Agree with Ricer about the Jalopnik article. For those who are wishing for a BRZ STi, it already exists. Porsche has a light weight (3,000 lbs) 300 hp base 718 Cayman for you but expect to pay more than double comparing to a BRZ. Or, if you are cheap, the Z offers the hp you want at the price you can afford but the car is a little heavy. Seriously, if someone in Subaru can put together a profitable performance car selling at low $30k with Cayman like performance and weight, that person should already be working as some kind of chief product director at Porsche.

The truth is that the weak engine is the main reason why the BRZ can be 2,800 lbs. It puts less stress on everything in the car. By the time you add 50% more hp to a BRZ, you will need to strengthen the chassis, powertrain, suspensions, brakes and the list goes on and on... and eventually, the car will be heavier and/or cost more.

Don't get me wrong I love the tech in new sports cars but I think the "roughness" is what I truly enjoy about driving the Z. The most annoying nanny on this car is the single setting VDC but you can turn that off.

We live in a day of high hp cars with fast 0-60 times that are full of electronic nannies. Heck a lot of sedans can pace or beat the Z in the straight line nowadays. But for the very few such as ourselves that care about the overall driving experience and not just stats on paper, the Z STILL fits the bill even 8 years after it was introduced. Who would've thought that a car with 332hp would be considered "slow" or "underpowered" but that's the market right now. Should be interesting to see how high the hp wars go.

Seems like the older I get, the less I care about the newer cars and the more I want a classic.
