New Z an improvement? What do you think?

This thread explains exactly why I purchased my Z. I thought about most of this when I purchased it, being that I love the look of the 2012 and under.

This thread explains exactly why I purchased my Z. I thought about most of this when I purchased it, being that I love the look of the 2012 and under. Without that ugly running day light on the front. I decided to get the 2012 instead of the 2013 which the dealer was trying to get me on. A lot people asked me 'so if you know it's gonna be out of production' or 'if there's chances to be out of production soon or smaller engine and slower why would you get it?'
I'm sure this car will be a classic like the 240s are now. I also believe all cars in the near future will be electric. And cars like what we have now will be scarce or non existing. Gentlemen we all have a piece of history in hand. And that's why I purchased my Z.
I pray it never get out of production honestly, but the way I see things going it looks like it will be... Soon !

(Sorry for being out of the subject a bit)

Having a token back seat would go a long way towards opening up a larger market.
When I was doing my search for a weekend car I kept comparing everything to the 370 until it became mind shockingly apparent that the 370 was the car. The Genesis had decent numbers but when I looked at one next to the the 370 it was beyond bland. To hear anyone say the styling looks dated compared to anything else in the market is just odd.

I offered 40K for 13 T+S two months ago and was told to gtfo by the dealer. That same car now has a sticker of 35K. They have had the car since January...

I totally agree with one of those two statements, the other is pure craziness.

I bought my new '93 240SX (with 4-wheel steering) in January of 1994. It was on the lot with three others that were identical except for the color. There was absolutely no interest in the car. I got it for $15,000. The sales manager was actually mad about selling it at that price, but I guess he decided to because of the lack of interest. The other two 240SX's sat for a few more months before they sold. I guess I was ahead of my time.

It looks dated in the sense that the car has had the same basic appearance since its introduction in 2003. Although I think it looks decent, Nissan is going to have to change it significantly if they want to get the production numbers back up.
