What if it is Z35.
 

We have all talked about the engine but what about the name? I keep hearing it will be called the Z35. I hate it. How do you all feel?

Don't know why it WON'T be called a Z35 as a model/mfg name. But I doubt that will be the advertised name

I think it would be called:

Mazinger Z?!:tup:

What I read implies that it will be called the Z35. They are not going to base it on engine size. That is my point.

I'd be OK if the public name was Z35. It would be a hard break from the "Engine displacement + Z" that has been going on since the car's inception, but the important letter is still there and that's all that matters. IMO, Nissan should just call it "Z" and drop the displacement, so they can have fun with the engine builds. I would rather that, then them do something silly, like call it a 390z because their turbo six pot puts out the same power as a NA 3.9L engine. The Germans are guilty of this and with the rumors of Mercedes building the power plant, I could see it happening.

Just as our car is the z34 the next one WILL BE the z35 soo if you don't live in the US it will be called the fairlady z35, if you live in the us it will most likely be the XXXz

Not sure if many will get that. lol though.

I would rather it be called Nissan Fairlady Z, Nissan Z, or Nissan Z Coupe/Nissan Z Roadster.

No one needs engine displacement anymore.

I was thinking of debadging and relabel fairladyZ

BMW & Mercedes use to be class + displacement, but that went out the window a few years ago.

Dibs on the options for oppai missiles!

Lol i kinda figure that too. Man am I that old and people here seem not to know Voltes 5 and Mazinger Z?

Or possibly this famous anemai in the 80's didn't reach the US screen! Lol

How about dibs on Sayaka's missile boobies!

*nosebleed*

Hey, wait...I still need engine displacement! :icon17:

PriuZ

Yah, chassis code should be z35?

I think Fairlady Z would be nice. I mean really who wouldn't like driving a Fairlady home every evening.

I do so love the engine displacement in the name though.
Gonna be sad to see it go.

Z35, not so much.

It will not be called z35 to the public, z35 is the Nissan code. Such as R33/R34/R35 for the GT-R or z31/z32/z33 for the Z.
The public name will either just be the Nissan Z in the states (if they do 2 engines so not to cause confusion), and continue using Fairlady Z in the rest of the world.

Ever since the Z came out, every model had the 'Z' at the end of the displacement number. I'm quite sure the new name will stick to the tradition.

Definitely rebadging to Fairlady Z now... lol

Lexus does the engine displacement with their IS series (queue is300 is250 is350)

Infiniti (or skyline for non murican) did the g35 and g37 then redesigned to q50 but same 3.7 L (correct me if i'm wrong)

Then there was mercedes with their c250/c300

Screw it... they should just rename everything Trueno. /discussion

toyota's thinking about doing a rwd hatch... since subaru apparently f-ked up the frs.

WELL the only thing screwed up was the lack of power... they should have released a turbo in their 3rd year with STI. or to be unique the TRD supercharge... or TRD turbo or... bah

TRUENO OR BUST!:tup:

Is that the robot cartoon show that came out the same time with Voltes 5?

Yes sir!
Ladies and gents presenting the Z!

Desn't matter to me what Nissan decides to call it. If Kate Upton's parents named her Mike, instead of Kate, I'd still like to date her :yum:
