How Many Years Before Remodeled Z

jtown82 · 04-12-2010, 11:25 PM

i hope they kill the Z and we are the last ones to own them :P lol call me greedy i dont care!. and yea if you look at there sales. nissan nor infiniti is profiting from these cars much. this is a niche market.

Fairly certain the Z will stay around as while it is a niche market car the G37 sells well which is pretty much the same platform.

Hope to god they're not like Toyota with the
Cut of the; MR2 Celica Supra, Celica Supra, Alltrac yadda yadda...

Didn't say the Mustang Looked anything like a 300Z, just said that it didn't look exotic. Perhaps in the 90s it did, however to my eye in 2010 it does not. Thats not to say it isn't a nice car, cause they are nice cars.

Though notice a resemblance between a Fiero and a 300? I don't think anyone would call a Fiero an exotic.

It seems nissan made the Z look similar to the pontiac and lotus! Or is it the other way around?

Let's not forget the R34 looks timeless as well (at least for me it is). One of the reason it looks timeless because, well, it never made it to america, second I never seen one on the streets (I live in Sacramento, CA). I've seen lambos, Ferrari's, vipers, prowlers, delorean, R35, lotus(older models at a car show), but not one single R34. I wish I could own one.

I ask do to I really like to plan ahead and want to be ahead on the next one. This is the model I really plan to go all out. Not so much on this model. Can be plenty happy in stock form this time around. But actully already started to save (plan to pay cash for everything). And my wife knows beyond a doubt we will not touch those funds (lol)?

I also hope they stay with the V6? Just a discussion. I couldn't see them going bigger.

There's a damn good chance that if there is a next one it won't be v6... gas prices in 6 years timne will probably be 100-200% more expensive and governments will probably put a price on carbon and make it even more expensive...

If you want an awesome 6 cylinder rwd car do it sooner rather than later... cars like these are on the way out... you'll start getting strange hybrids, diesels and electrics...

The Z32 rules!

I still think the lines on it are timeless.

areyouin729 · 04-15-2010, 08:00 AM

I love the Z32 and it's looks could hold up today with a little remodel but I don't think it looks exotic...it was a trendsetter for good looking sport cars in the 90's

I hope if Nissan does the next Z, they base it off the Z32 in the looks dept.

FuszNissan · 04-15-2010, 09:25 AM

I think the Supra and RX7FD lines are timeless, I don't think the 300's are. But it's all personal opinion. I hope they don't base the next gen Z off Z32 looks.

I completly agree

Mergnthwirker · 04-15-2010, 04:08 PM

My feeling is that we're looking at the end of an era. Gas prices are likely to head up massively as the economy recovers. New CAFE regulations are likely to put a nail in the coffin for cars like the 370Z. Increasingly the Green Mafia will demonize those of us who drive sports cars (how IRRESPONSIBLE!!). Look at what happened when the Sierra Club started targeting Hummer?

Future sports cars are likely to be hybrids (see the Porsche 918 concept for example). The performance may be same/better, but the days of a rip-rorting gasoline engine making only 21mpg EPA are numbered.

Enjoy it while you can!

The Sierra Club makes me want to cut down trees and pour oil in rivers.
