More info on the next 370Z

I don't want an electric motor. And if that affects having a manual transmission, **** it all.

Lighter car, yes. Turbo V6 with 400hp, yes.

Hmm... so they're going to recycle the body design? Not sure how I feel about having triplets. Face it: the average person thinks the 350Z and 370Z are the same thing. Now the Z35 would join the look-alike contest.

As much as I love the 350 & 370 lines, I'd more prefer Nissan to give us something new and just as beautiful.

They used a pic of the new Nismo, but I think it's a full redesign. They are talking about a new platform, which would mean new design. Plus I've heard 'smaller and lighter'.

And for design, the Zs have had the same body design for years.

Electric motor to break? Electric motor to cost an arm and a leg to replace? Electric motor to have to be rebuilt every couple years? Electric motor to add a ****-ton more complexity to a motor and force me to buy a whole new assortment of tools and learning materials so I don't get raped by the dealership for repairs?
