lol... I thought the next article to be posted would be a 2007 one and then a 2008 one....lol......then 09.....

When you click on the OP link, the pic that opens says "2009 400Z" at the top. If you click on that wording, it opens up the associated article dated 11/11/2006 :p

Yea....LOL.... I saw.


So when are the spy shots being posted?

yea definately dont like the pic and Im hoping if they do come out with it it wont look like a G but a V8 would be great. Do we have anyone in the forum that is connected to Nissan that might be able to find out more? Ill be ready to trade in my Z by 2012.

:shakes head: There's no V8, it's all just rumors.

would they be able to get a 4.0 with a V6?

Seriously.:shakes head:

That's huge for a V6, no?

3.8 is pushing the limit of that block.

So if they are a little leary of a V8 cuz of gas possibly, for them to stay with a V6 what would be the new number for the next generation? ZX maybe.

I see they are using 4.0 V6s now but looks mostly on SUV and trucks.

I seriously doubt a V8 is coming..... the G sedan is already getting a 2.5L V6 now.....and the coupe might get it later.

You think the Z would follow that line? I would think that would kill it.

It's only coming in as in optional engine for the G's....

Car companies have to make more fuel effient cars to keep up with the new standards. Smaller engines that produce more power with DI and turbos are the future. I don't see Nissan introducing a V8 to a car that traditionally had a V6.

and what about the gt-r? does anyone really believe nissan will give the z a v8 engine while their flagship supercar is only a v6?
