And I'll pass on the hybrid. I'll take a turbo Z if its gas! This will be left for Euro markets.

I wouldn't mind Nissan halting the 370z for a couple years... I'll be able to pay of the 09 i just bought (while still owining the most up to date version), and be ready for trade in when Nissan Re-Releases the Z

Jordo!

I think this is a slight refresh on an old rumor. I haven't seen that rendering before.

I'm down with a hybrid if it looks like that and has the theorized hp/tq specs.

I don't care if it's a hybrid as long as the performance and looks are still there. I don't like the looks of the rendering in the article, it looks like a 370Z Nismo, G37, and Leaf had a baby together.

I've also read somewhere that the next gen GT-R R36 could be a 600 hp hybrid. It is the car I would like to get after my Z and I wouldn't mind the hybrid as long as it had better performance than the non-hybrid.

Yes please may I have another..

Randomly came across this today...although the site lists it as a '2010 Z'. Probably a super old guestimate rendition obviously based on the 350Z. Aside from the IS-F pipes, that's one f'ugly a$$.

I keep hearing how the numbers for the Z are bad and how they might not continue it, etc. I've also have seen threads where the numbers are good overall for the Z so if that is the case; then why would they consider canceling out a classic sports car?

Does everyone believe that the car will be discontinued and do you think this is just the Z or sports cars in general; thus maybe we might be seeing the Camaro and Mustang falling by the waist side?

Niche79

This is from Wiki....take it with a grain of salt, but if these numbers hold true, thats not good signs of a car that will stay around long

Calendar Year U.S. Sales
2009 13,117
2010 10,215


And for the previous Poster about the Camaro sales:
Year Sales
2009 61,648
2010 81,299


Then again the Z is meant for a smaller part of the market, vs some jock wanting pure Hp. I think Nissan does a good job in its particular area!

Including the sales of the 350Z, just to get an idea of the market over the last decade:


2002 13,253
2003 36,728
2004 30,690
2005 27,278
2006 24,635
2007 18,957
2008 10,337
2009 13,117
2010 10,215



I expect 2011 sales to be <10,000

Nissan crapped on the VQ35DE and the VQ35DE "REV-UP" engines that were installed in the 350z's and the G35's.
These were oil burning pieces of crap.
I purchased a 2007 G35 BRAND NEW with the VQ35DE "REV-UP" engine and the engine was burning oil so bad. I sold it with just under 5,000 miles on it.
I took an $8,000 loss on it when I sold it. It took me 1 1/2 years to sell it.
I never drove it from the time I started the selling process.

Nissan didn't even address the problem with a TSB unitl after 3 years later from the 2005 model year "REV-UP" engine that were in the 2005-2006 350z's
and the 2005-2007 G35's (the 2007 G35 sedan and the 2007 350z had the new VQ35HR engine).

But Nissan was telling dealerships to tell customers with the oil burning problems that it was "NORMAL"............Good God!!

1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles is not normal!!!!

Even the replacement short and long blocks under warranty were burning oil.

People that are enthusiasts and repeat buyers WILL NOT FORGET this phenomenal quandary.

Nissan is still selling and marketing an inferior product.
Have they not realesed a TSB for the oil burning problem with the 370z?
They sure Have.

People don't forget. I sure the hell have not.

I was really hoping the 370z was back in the game for a reliable sports car without the oil burning problem.

Nissan North America will read this and acknowledge that this has hurt their bottom line when they attend board meetings.
The economy has taken a dive, sure. But they crapped on the people that bought their products only to be given the run around regarding oil burning issues. You practically had to retain an attorney to recover your loss.

They didn't wait as long to release the TSB for the oil burning issue on the new 370z. It may appear that they have learned something.
BUT, IT IS STILL A PROBLEM!! So in my view, they are still selling crap.

Hence the low volume sales. PERIOD!!!!!!!

So I took the money from the sale of my G35 and bought a Honda Civic and the rest I put into my Yamaha R1 motorcycle.

Screw You Nissan!!!!!!!!!!!!
