Juke has only 1.6

Maybe they will offer 2 different engines like most of the sports cars it wants to compete with. That would also separate nismo vs base. They may do turbo 4 and turbo 6. But I see the vq37 as dead.

I think the turbo four and basically the entire Q50, squished down will be the options. Either way the MOST expensive base model SHOULD not exceed $32K. Unless the its a Nismo, than three models. Fecking car prices are crazy. I have zero interest in a $48K Z.

How?? Do you have a fuel leak? I drive like a lunatic pretty much ALL the time and am in some pretty bad commute traffic, just sitting there, making noise and I STILL get 22....

Dammit, the ban expired and the first thing he does is come back with the same old complaints. Dude, there is something wrong with your car if you get that kind of gas mileage. I don't actually think you get that kind of gas mileage. I think you make up complaints because you leased more car than you can afford, and now you're car-poor and miserable and taking it out on the car.

Ahhhh....so this is documented. LOL! :stirthepot:

He's got a long history of being unpleasant. We just can't figure out why someone who hates a car as much as he claims to would spend as much time as he does on the forum for that car. It makes no sense unless his life is just that empty and meaningless.

A while ago, we were speculating that Nissan would be collaborating with Mercedes-Benz on engines, no? I'm curious if this is still true.

how about just quit making the Z so our resale value go up!!

They've had a partnership since 2010 with confirmed engineering and parts collaboration since 2013.

Would not bother me one bit if they did.

As long as it's not straight automatic, I'm thrilled. Give me *some* control over the shifting, and I'm a happy, engaged-when-I-want-to-be driver.

I hope it has some sort of hybrid element to it. A 300 hp, 4 cylinder turbo with an extra 100 electric ft/lbs on tap all in a sub 3,000 lb sexy package is what I am expecting to happen.

:gtfo2:

Ugh, Nissan please please PLEASE stay away from a boosted 4 cylinder platform! If you want to build a Miata that's fine, but leave the Z out of it.:gtfo2:

I chose my Nismo over the more powerful Ford Mustang 5.0 and SS Camaro because it was/is a better overall package IMO. Squeeze out 50 more hp (preferably NA, but low psi SC would be cool too) and it would be absolutely perfect.:driving:

Not sure why people are talking about the Subaru/Toyota/Scion thing in the same conversation... different price point and entirely different performance level. Has anyone driven one? I have, and that thing is gutless!:supergay:

When will we hear an an official announcement pertaining to the 2015 z? Does anyone know what month the 2014 Z was made available/announced? Maybe that will give us a clue.

Come on Nissan!!! Get it together!!!!!
