how many people think the Z34 is the last Z for a long while?

I see a used Cayman S PDK is still close to $60k, and I paid $32k for my 2009 370Z, with a $3k drop probably available if I hadn't traded.

You can get a Boxter in the 50k range.

As long as Carlos Ghosn is running the ship, the Z will be made. He loves Z cars and knows what it means to his company.

The Z holds the most heritage for Nissan and they're not about to just drop it. That's like saying Ford would scrap the Mustang or Chevy the Vette. The Z will be back in future generations.

Or even Porsche scrapping the 911, even though by many expert accounts, the Boxster/Cayman platform could be faster if it had the same budget/engine/etc. The 911's rear engine is only there because of heritage.

I heard from Nissan that the z is indeed dead and only the super fast yet super expensive gtr will live on. Honest truth. I just want to squash any future rumors that the gtr is on its last year after the z is gone.

chevy did get rid of the camaro for a while though because they wasnt selling enough of them, although it did come back. the same thing could definately happen to the Z. and im not sure if putting the TT in a Z would be a very good idea because the GTR already has a TT V6, that would definately hurt the GTR sales. i dont think people could justify spending 40K+ more for a GTR when they could get the TT Z for 50K and put simple mods and make it faster than the GTR.

The Japanese are proud, stoic people who hang on to history. We Americans will toss any heritage we have if it improves the bottom line. The Z sales are so low in comparison to the other Nissan model sales, it really makes no difference if Nissan is ahead or behind on this car. (I speak out of my

on this, but I make it sound believable, no?)

that being said, they might just quit selling them in the states for a while since they arent selling enough like someone said before.

They left us hanging with the Z from 97 to 02. No Z for 5 years. In japan no Z for 2 or 3 years. Most likely the Z will still go on in the JDM market. But importing to the US or any other low volume nation is highly questionable.
