the new Supra is BMW (big fail IMO), so if anything, it would be EDM.

Yep. I think it would’ve been nice to use the updated 15 Nismo as the “last hurray” and send it into sunset, instead of staying stagnant since then.

What are you talking about?!? Obviously you didn't see the 50th Anniversary sticker package that came out last year :ugh2:

"Nissan could cut 10 percent of its lineup in the next three years. Here are the most likely candidates."

Unless i missed it, this is just autoweek's opinions? not of what Nissan has suggested or confirmed. It doesn't even mention if Nissan actually suggested cutting any cars to deal with the financial situation in the first place?

Would be a shame if they cut it. But then again you have to do a cost benefit analysi: to keep or to shut down. Over all this is a defensive strategy on two points, it is both divestiture and a retrenchment. Close or sell off the business segment or, reduce the production, layoff employees and only focus on top products.

I say let them shut it down. I have my Z the fair market value for the car will only increase. It is hard to find a reliable, affordable, powerful, high reving car that is a 6 speed.

Since I am not in the market for a Z, Nissan can do as they please. I am happy I bought it when I did and I am still happy that it runs like new. I also overheard that the Camaro's are on their way out, again I don't care. :driving: :tiphat:

I couldn’t agree more. Who cares if they make a new Z or not? It won’t change the fact that I’m happy with the Z I have. It’s bought and payed for and it’s not going anywhere. And no matter what NISSAN does, the 370Z is definitely the last truly analog NA Japanese sports car they will ever make. Even if NISSAN were to make a new Z, it would not be what everyone hopes for. Probably a hybrid or electric Mercedes, Renault, Mitsubishi crossover monstrosity with a lot of bells and whistles and no soul.

From my understanding the tune is totally different on the suspension. Dunno bout the engine but its killing the Z4 on testing drag strips. It's a more aggressively tuned car for track at a lower price than bimmer but... haters gonna hate

Not at all... mergers almost never work. Mazda under Ford was a disaster.

I agree with most of what you say but the Z is not an analog car. Does it carry 2 features that give it more feel??? Yes. You have hydraulic steering and a handbrake. One helps with feedback and minimizing that dead spot u feel in electric power steering. The next only matters if you drift? The handbrake.

The Z is still dominated by VDC, ABS, LIMP MODE CUT OFF, Navigation systems, etc..
Yes not too many hydraulic steer except for the Mercedes Benz AMG GTS and the Subaru WRX STi.
And handbrakes are getting rare but BMW Subaru Toyota and a few other sports brands kept the handbrake for enthusiasts.

I didnt keep my Z but I thought I would. I play with the idea still of buying a Nismo... but the reason I moved on and why people care about the next Z etc. Cuz we enjoy the progression.

Look at corvette. They just went mid engine after 40+ yrs of mid engine R&D. That's just amazing.
f people all thought like you? Nissan would still be selling the Datsun 240z instead of the one you love right now!

I thi k even if they didnt change the car itself? Updating the dash materials stereo azz nd nav would have kept it relevant in terms of sales. I know that sales wouldn't be spectacular but probably close to double. And being the Z spent a lot of years as a parts bin car. It wasn't gonna cost that much for updates.
