New Z an improvement? What do you think?

^^^^^ everyone knows that

What does that have to do with a possible huge discount by mid/end of 2014?

Today Aug. 2013 is $3,000 lowered + dealer profit. You think a year from now, especially if a new model comes out, the discount will not be bigger???

My last post on this subject.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Nissan is not discounting (as in offering dealer incentives or rebates) in order to move the 2013's. This is very odd considering that they lowered the price of the 2014's. The effect is that their dealers are hit with a pretty immediate loss on their inventory. Given that they'd hang dealers out like this, I'm doubting that they are going to care when the same thing happens a year from now. It's just my take. We'll see.

Btw, you're wrong on the not discounting 2013's

Nissan IS giving the dealers $3000~ for every '13 sitting on the lot

Can you cite your source? Carsdirect.com and Edmunds both are only indicating a financing incentive for the 2013 370Z's.
Nissan 370Z Incentives and Rebates

BTW, both Carsdirect.com and Edmunds indicate that there are dealer incentives on the Infinity G37.

If you ask soneone who you know who works at the dealership, they'll tell you.
Otherwise NO ONE would buy a 2013

I did, it was a lower price than a few of the 2012's that even had more mileage.
(base+sport)
I got very lucky and only beat at least one other buyer by a day or two, he was even there when I was buying it.

As far where the Z is going down the road there was a rumor of resurrecting the 240 (4 cyl) with a turbo. I hope that's not true because I would not go to a 4 cyl for the sake of Nissan marketing needs. I Love the 370 would hate to see the line moving backwards.

If I was a betting man, here's where I'd place my chips:

Nissan will make their performance cars more economical with minimal impact to performance and cost using common practices (direct injection, turbos, higher revs, lighterweight). Some sort of electric or KERS technology will be used to augment the engine in order to get category leading performance. Look at the Juke, it has a boost button...

All of the performance cars are heading in the direction of selective/adjustable performance to meet the mpg regulations while still achieving fractional increases in performance. The Z is Japan's Corvette and will continue to be through its life. For those that don't know, the new Corvette Stingray turns into a 4 cylinder when in eco mode to get 25-30 mpg. Prices will probably start at $36K for a base model Z. Nissan will not jeopardize the brand.

OK, I went by a dealership today and spoke with a salesman. He confirmed to me that there is an incentive on the 2013 370Z's. He even showed me a printout indicating that it's $3150. That makes the cost for a 2013 base model pretty much spot on what a 2014 costs. It's very odd that Edmunds and carsdirect.com don't have this information, but it's good to know regardless.

I am glad you found this. As I read the thread I was thinking I'd need to get some info to you but thankfully you made it on your own.
