The Z's future

FreshFish · 12-01-2011, 12:28 PM

I wonder how many people here have ever driven a hybrid car? The transitions between the electric power plant to gas during idle isn't anything to desire, it feels clumsy and I thought there was something wrong with the car when I first got into one (hybrid Altima)... Lol. I hope they design whole new models instead of using the cars that built their heritage on the pure driving experience.

The Nissan product planning chief said the z won't follow the direction that Toyota went with the 86 by making the z smaller and lighter. However if they bring out a smaller and lighter sports car it would be all electric. So why is everyone thinking the next z is going to be all electric or a hybrid?

Theoretical discussions.
