2016 370z...

My speculation is that it will be built on the new Infinity Q50/60 platform. Essentially a reworked version of the same car. About the same size with more lightweight materials.

A few inches trimmed here and there. Base engine will be the same VQ37VHR with around 350 HP. Again, just my own speculation.

Guess we will know In January.

Infiniti's Detroit concept to be 'very, very, very, very close' to new Q60 - Autoblog

I agree... base engine. As in other offerings in the pipe. Dig it.

I'm just not sure why having a turbo Z would be niché in a niché market? The whole auto industry is going turbo. Even on basic vehicles

It looks like the Q60 will be out October 2015 and the Z will be out the following year. Maybe June 2016?

They are selling the Q60, but in its current form, it's a rebadged G37 so it matches the rest of the Infiniti naming scheme that DeNysschen introduced during his 5 minute tenure of ******* Infiniti up before going to Cadillac.

How much are you paying for it?

Also, you totaled a 213 sports package but where did it get the leather seats and permission interior. I thought the interior was black!

As of right now the only thing I see on the order sheet that's different is a color, Midnight Blue (RAA) is set to be replaced by Deep Blue Pearl (RAY). Trim Levels and Options appear to be carrying over right now for both the Coupe and the Roadster.

FWIW on a side note the GT-R will be getting a "45th Anniversary option" for '16 but I'm not sure what that entails.
