2016 3xx plan

I'm sure there was nothing against your plan. The next gen model is pure speculation and sends threads into a downward spiral. That's why you see people say "IBTL".

His plan is sound. Same plan I used because I'm not really interested in what's likely to be a 4 cylinder single turbo hybrid Z. Nissan cannot resist changing the Z car as it ages until they lose their customer base then cancel the platform to re-initiate it a decade later. It's in their corporate genes.

Anyway, if I'm wrong, I'll buy the 2018 Z. It will be identical to the 2016 Z and they'll have 70% of the bugs worked out.

Elitist: of a person considered superior by others, as in intellect, talent, power, wealth, or position in society.

Pompous: characterized by magnificence.

Sounds like a compliment to me. ...and to be called this TWICE?! You, good sir, are at the top of your game!

I will keep my '09 and will buy a 2nd or 3rd year Nismo version. This gives me plenty of time to save up the cash and gives Nissan a chance to work out the bugs related to the propulsion system, whatever that turns out to be. It's common sense that they won't make a lesser performing vehicle in this day and age given the competition.

As a side note, I hope they simply call it the "Z". Simple, elegant, lethal...

dont let your panties get to much in a twist...in all fairness though, what you asked is kind of a loaded question around here as talk of the next generation Z has been pretty much beat to death. I can see where you're coming from though cause i myself am doing the whole wait and see approach to see what they do with the next Z to decide what my next purchase will be.

No worries Roddy. I just hope that you'll agree with me that every person in this world has a different level of communicating their message to others. Especially in a kind and respectful manner. Some are excellent at it while others could use some improvement.

Unfortunately, I was not born with this gift. However luckily for me, over time my parents, teachers and reading books like these have improved my skills in this area. So while you may not agree with me, I believe a person who could effectively communicate their message in the 1930's would almost certainly retain that abilty in 2014.
