I say brick to the head!

Rumors are just that. Wait for the unknown or take the current known. I doubt I'll trade in my Z34. Serously doubt it. Gen 7 Corvette sounds sweet too. By spending $10-20K more for a car may not result in that much more fun.

Good luck.

Why should he get an automatic? I'm not asking because I think that's a bad idea. Just wondering what the logic is. Just interested to know.

it's actually 25,750 ~ after tax ~27k, for a 2010 base sport 6mt.

and I could never get an automatic Z, nothing is wrong with it but for a weekend warrior over 50% of the fun comes from rowing your own gears!

I have a 10 Base Sport 6mt, and after 2+ year owning it, it still puts a smile on my face everyday! I would said wait and see whats next, if you don't like whats next you can always find a great deal on out going model, you could even get a new one for the slightly more, since Nissan just did that price cut on the latest year model with the Japanese Yen been strong.

You do realize you can buy a 2014 z base 6mt for 27k plus tax right??? No way in hell I'd buy a 10 at that price.

After talking with a guy that met the z designer and chief engineer who signed his engine covers, the new z will have a turbo 4 and a v6. Not sure if it's a new motor on the 6. You can bet a new body and the infiniti new line, the Q's, will be what the z will use as always since its infinities body nissan can't afford. Should be couple hundred pounds lighter. The IPL Q60 will have a TT v6 so be prepared for the nismo in 15-16 to get the same
