It probably won't stray to far from the current Z. I see Audi style lights, a more arero front grille, extra lithe on the hood, slightly shortened back, deeper trunk, shorter rear, rear bulges will remain with slight more drama to them. The future Z probably won't be as thick as our cars from top too bottom,(lithe, again), dramatic hoodlines and maybe sunroof or targa this time around?

making a fwd to compete with the frs will be bankrupt for Nissan.

I seriously doubt FWD is a consideration. AWD/CVT... possibly. I wouldn't be surprised about them using the MR16DDT engine mated to a ~2800lb vehicle built on the Juke chassis. With the boost turned up a bit, hopefully you could see some performance numbers that would make a smaller vehicle scoot along.

I personally hope they pull the engine from Mercedes. It's about time that partnership bared some fruit on the sports car front.

I agree. If they want to compete with two other rear wheel drive cars, FWD is out the window.

Yikes ! Not looking good

Red__Zed · 01-17-2013, 04:14 PM

curious to see how they play this.

The 'love or hate' will come from either the styling or engine configuration.

SPOHN · 01-17-2013, 05:09 PM

They can keep it

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-17-2013, 05:28 PM

Being honest. Z news for next gen just sounds disappointingly overpriced and shytty.

I might go back to american cars. It's been 20 years since I had my Buick GN. I bought a 93 FD and never looked back. The mustang and camaro made me start paying attention. The camaro SS1LE/ZL1 got me thinking, this new corvette (though not in love with looks) got me excited.

Nissan talking about FWD's and hybrids is makin my D*ick limp.

JDM is going backwards. Slow JDM cars were cool in the 80's when a CRX was $11,000 and a camaro Z28 was $22,750 and the corvette wa $27,000. You can get a supra turbo for the $21,000 and $3,500 made it faster than most muscle cars in those days. Times have changed and JDM going backwards to low 200hp cars for $30,000 when there's a $33,000 domestic cars on a lot with 400 hp. It's ludacris, This going to make me keep my money domestic.

And if someone tells me power doesn't matter? I will go to your house and throw up in your car!!!!
