Nice find. The stats sound nice.

"Nissan Z35 should go on sale during 2016, and very likely will be previewed the following year in concept form at the Auto Show in Tokyo."

I'm liking the 2016 sale date. Do you think they mean that the concept form might be shown at the Auto Show in Tokyo in 2015? What month is that show usually in?

End of october
If they show concept model than more likely to go on sale in summer of 2016

Possible idea
2014 tokyo autoshow = z35 concept
2015 = actuall model
2016 jan = sale

I don't expect nissan to say anything about the z35 until early next summer. Any sooner and that will hinder the sales of the new nismo

2016 would be pretty perfect so that the 50th anniversary edition won't be plagued by first model year issues like the 40th!

plagued? kinda strong and offensive choice of words for someone driving an AT car...

Becareful, he is a very sensitive kinda of fella deep inside. Dont want to end up like me on his ignore list. My days here have been a shadow of what they used to be from that time onwards that I was ignored by him.

Going upmarket will put it out of the hands of middle class owners, 60-70k is more than some people make in a year. Even 35k is a stretch but doable with creative financing.

All we can go off is what Nissan has let leak out.
The base sounds like it will be around 50k and probably won't be worth it cause the turbo four hybrid drivetrain will most likely have similar power levels to our Z34's with more torque from the hybrid system. Now the v6 turbo hybrid for 60k should be more than capable of 400+ Hp/Tq that may very well be worth it's higher price.

If you want a cheap powerful Rwd import start praying that Hyundai puts there 5.0 V8 in the genesis coupe.

For what it's worth, my Genesis forum has talk of the V8 in the 2016/17 coupe. Market research done by Car and Driver have Hyundai a 20% chance to have a "0 to 60 mph under 4 second coupe in the market for $40k"

Off topic, but do you think Hyundai will spin off 'Genesis' as it's luxury marque?

Firebase99

Yes, all sources point to that. Much like the rumors with the Z going "upmarket". They discontinued the 2.0 version as of '14 and just focusing on the current 3.8/3.3 turbo/V8 for the "high end luxury" coupe.
