[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Nithmo · 11-26-2016, 07:56 PM

Unfortunately, the new s2000 is rumoured as being a mid engine car. Not saying that's a bad thing... Because it's not. But what sucks is that it has NOTHING to do with the s2000 whatsoever.

From the original s600, to the s800, to the s2000, they've always been convertibles. Making a baby NSX just seems weird now. If they call it something else, I'll have no issues with it.

Regardless, the car is coming.

Call me oldschool but I prefer a simple interior. I don't need all these bells and whistles that everyone seems to be clamoring for. Hell, it took me a while to get used to having buttons on the steering wheel. Just give me a car that looks good and is fun to drive.

Perhaps you need an NA chassis MX5?

Thread has been derailed. I was trying to find information on the Z35 but after 189 pages, I am more lost than ever...

I find the thread accurately represents Nissan's train of thought on the development of the Z35... even up to the post that says "maybe I just need a Miata instead."

In the absence of new info on a 370Z replacement this conversation is just fine while we wait...

Doesn't all of those "bells&whistles" just add weight to a sports car anyway? And when driving said sports car (not pony car), do you really want all of those distractions?

You don't want distractions, buy a race car that's street legal. You want a car that's fast but still has creature comforts? You buy a proper modern sports car.

Now that we know there's an actual Supra test mule, we should start placing bets now on whether the Z35 will be (1) based on the Q/G, like the last few iterations, or (2) a totally new platform like Nissan once hinted at, but has yet to show us.

I'm placing my bet on #1. Either way, I will definitely be cross shopping between the Z and the Supra, unless Toyota screws the pooch and tries to stick a 55+ K price tag on their new super Celica.

Bro, it's likely going to be $75k plus. Hell, this isn't even a Toyota product. It's going to be a coupe version of the BMW Z5, it's sister car.

I'm not impressed so far ... And yeah I think it will probably be over 55k ...
