Double post. Sorry.

I know several V8 owners who get a solid 9mpg.

Why not sell your Z if you hate it so much? Get a toyobru so you can complain over there.

What are you talking about? The juke has a 1.6t. I think its the MR16 or something like that.

From the Jalopnik article link (emphasis added by me):

Quote:

On a replacement for the 370Z, he said: "I know what the powertrain will be and I know it will exist. It would be reasonable to assume it will have a downsized turbo engine. There will be normal and Nismo versions."

Sigh...

This is pretty much generally acknowledged fact now that ti will be a smaller turbo'ed engine. It'll probably be a 4 but people are hoping (however unlikely) that it'll be a smaller 6.

IMO, we are going to see the Z branded as just that... the "Nissan Z". No numbers, just the "Z", just like how it exists on Nissan's website now. The 370 will be the last numbered Z for quite a while, as numbers for the model get harder and harder to correspond with displacement, see Mercedes and BMW, for instance, as both have started using the numbers as illustration for power relative power levels within the line or as throwbacks to iconic platforms in the past.

Nissan knows one thing for sure- the Z's heritage has always been about "bang for your buck". It may not be the fastest, it may not be the best handling, but it's damn near the top for half of what you would pay for the #1 contender, and that's more than enough for the majority of consumers out there who are looking for a performance coupe.

That means smaller, lighter, and more efficient. Ultimately, it should mean some exciting times for us ahead.

This was in the Jalopnik thread, and I found it quite funny.

It better have a manual transmission!

Redglare · 01-20-2014, 09:52 PM

porsche is phasing out manual, nissan is surely going to phase it out soon.

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.

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.

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.

my2004Z · 01-21-2014, 01:43 PM

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.
