IDx combined with the Z as the future of the Z?

Nargrakhan

I always wanted Nissan to move towards a 3 sports car line, but as many others have pointed out to me on this forum, that would have been very unusual for them to pull off. That article helps support the "only 2 sports car" comments I've been told. It makes a lot of sense.

What has me curious, is if Nissan will do the IDx or the Z. The Z has a long history, but the IDx generated a lot of interest.

However I've seen articles stating if Nissan does the IDx, it would not look as ambitious as the original demo design that was seen in car shows. Given that a lot of the IDx charm was it's agressive retro look, I would voice Nissan go with building another Z. However IF they could pull off that retro appearance with the production IDx, I wouldn't be disappointed if Nissan retired the Z-brand for awhile, and made the IDx.

After all, just because Nissan lets the Z rest for a few years, doesn't mean we'll never see it again.


***EDIT***
On another note... all this speculation news (speculation leaks?), at least from the wording of how executive decision making is still being made, leads me to believe the current Z will still be around until 2016. I'm guessing the new Z (or IDx) will hit market in 2017.

I don't think it's hard at all to pull off 3 sports cars. Remember once upon a time...

1. Nissan Silvia
2. Nissan Fairlady Z
3. Nissan Skyline/GT-R

JUST DO IT NISSAN! They need to stop being scared. It'll work.

IDX = $25,000-$36,000
Z= $35,000-$50,000
Skyline = $45,000-$60,000
GT-R= $90,000-$150,000

I know the GT-R starts at $103,000,realistically, it shouldn't.

I guess you forget the part where nissan basically admits the frs twins dominated them, they can't even compete with any new pony car. The Z is done and they don't even know what direction to go.

we know which direction you should go...

The reason nissan doesn't want to do three cars any more was because of the three cars there...they did not sell as many silvia's as they liked because for a few bucks more you can get a better car =Z...and the same for people looking at the Z for a few more thousands you can get the GTR....now the gtr is way out in price compare to the z but before it wasn't
