Nissan 370Z Forum  

When is the next body style Z due? This model looks dated and needs refreshed badly.

Just hold your breath until Nissan releases a Huarya version of the Z. Keep holding it. Don't breathe.

All the talk of a hybrid that never happened.
Talk of a bigger engine? never happened.

All Nissan seems to add is an cabin filter and some new colors.

I like the car! But it's really showing it's age.

When is a new refreshed car due?

*** Hopefully, they will add some sound proofing too. ***



And that my friends is how you troll.. Good job sir 10/10 would read again A+++++

Thanks, I wasn't even trying. I just get frustrated reading threads about these same issues that never get fixed. I would like a 370, but I expect Nissan to listen to the consumer.

I admit my post was designed to invoke a reaction but I expected people to want the same items fixed! Not attack someone for calling out Nissan on not fixing the reoccurring items listed on this forum.

I guess I should post like others asking how I can make a 370 run with a Ferrari or a Porsche? (Those are the troll posts in my opinion, but people here really think a 30K car should run with a car costing 100-300K.)

But if you think I am a troll...please show me one prior post that says one of these items:
1) A liking of the door handles and a wish to keep them the same.
2) A post that says the car is quiet inside and very livable.
3) How about a post that says keep the front grill.

As for the headlights I think that is split.

I have no issues with the handles or noise.

I think the car is quiet enough and more than livable (to be fair, I came from a roadster with straight 3 inch pipes and a bike though)

I actually like the look of the fangs.

Don't have a problem with them.

It's just fine for a sports car

It looks like a startled staypuff marsh-mellow man.

Nissan listens to their wallet, or they would have put the oil cooler in the 370Z. They have no interest in fixing anything but the bottom line.

That goes for every car company out there except in relation to halo cars like the Z06, Viper, etc. that are more about image than profit.

How could I forget about the oil cooler! And I heard the brakes have issues, isn't that why one car magazine wrecked one? They fluid gets hot quickly and they lose power?

I expect every car to get refined every year. Slowly make it better.

I did say earlier that it looks perfect the way it is. I love the door handles, the fangs, the headlights, the tail lights, etc. The noise doesn't bother me at all. In my opinion, the only things they need to add in a refresh are a standard oil cooler and some more power. Who doesn't want more power?

I think it is a legitimate question, I'm looking to purchase one but I would hate to get the '11 version only to have some major revising going on for the '12 version.

Exterior wise, I don't care since I'll be slappin the amuse kit on anyway.

I think that the question, "When is the next update or body style" is legit, but I don't think it's right to insult the car and (by proxy) the owners by calling it ugly and outdated. Clearly that's not a friendly way to start a thread.

I never once said it was ugly. That's what you read into it so you must have those feelings.

I said it is showing it's age and needs a refresh. And I cited common things people have asked to be changed. If I did not point out what I meant by showing it's age that would be an insult to the entire car.

I picked out SPECIFIC items that look odd on an otherwise very clean looking car. I hope some of the common issues raised might be addressed in the next release. And if that is the case, I can wait another 6 months for the car.

It think everyone here likes to overreact. It's 2 plastic bumps in a bumper, some door handles that can be updated, and why not match the gas gauge to the other gauges? REALLY! That to much to ask for in a refresh?

Wrong.

And screw it, I'm not gonna derail this further into a flame war.

You know you posted incendiary comments, and you got the responses you deserved.

It's probably due for a refresh in a year or two but you're acting like it's a really outdated car, which IMO it's not. I didn't even start seeing them on the road until late 2009. With economic times the way they are and the low sales of the Z, I wouldn't expect much in terms of a total redesign for at least another couple years.

IMO the car is great as is considering the price point it's at. It will get redesigned eventually I'm sure, but I think you should just buy the car now if you want it, otherwise there will always be something better coming out in the future... and more so the fact that you said you're leasing... by the time you're out of the lease, a new refresh version would be out for you to lease again...
