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.

I also have a feeling that there won't be a new Z in the near future. Sales are bad and for the price there are quite a few options.

I believe consumers (including myself) want something that can do it all; sporty, 4-5 seats, comfort, luxury, and fuel economy. More car manufacturers are producing these 4 door luxury coupes/sedans, just like how luxury SUV's (X5, ML, Cayenne, RX, etc.) were never heard of but got popular starting the late 90's early 2000's.

NS370Z · 08-12-2013, 06:47 PM

Inline 6, turbo. 375 HP. 150 lbs lighter.

/Angelo350Z/ · 08-12-2013, 07:27 PM

I'm not going to hold my breath for an inline 6 turbo, but 375 hp close to 3K lbs would be nice.

critical · 08-12-2013, 08:27 PM

Lighter, more power, dual clutch option, longer hood, and a sleeker look are things I'd like to see.
