So how about that Z35, any word yet?;)

unknown responded to a post made to laserblue

and then things got out of hand

U
I found this review. It will answer your questions. And IM SURE the Z community they're referring to, is this forum... it's fvckin pathetic already. This review is right about one thing. For as long as our Z has been out....
NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE A MAJOR INTERIOR REFRESH. I think the outside isholding up fine. Especially the Nismo version. It's our fuckin disgustingly outdated interiors killing our car. N that lack of a 400hp turbo

Anger over a lack of a new Z is spilling over into everything Nissan does. They should have brought out a new Z before attempting to bring out Nismo sentra's and what not. Or they should be creating some kind of buzz, like Toyota does.

The Silvia should have come back with the Juke engine... AT LEAST. Nissan is doing it wrong.

But anyway.... Here's the review.

The post read as if you were saying me and laser blue were the same person. So I responded as such.

:yawn:

I agree with this so much. However I don't think it's just Nissan, I've been saying it for a few years now, Japanese car companies are no longer interested in fun cars anymore. The few that are still around like the Z, STI, FRS/BRZ, miata -- they are just good enough to pass but not compete. None of these companies are wanting to push the envelope or go out of the box. Where are domestic companies are coming out with new things all the time and doing things out of the norm. I mean fiest ST??? Not really needed but how awesome is that little car. The mustang and Camaro are always getting upgraded and changes every few years, never forgotten. As someone who was a product of the 80's and grew up in the 90's era of cars, it's sad to see what Japan gave us back then vs. now.

20!7 Japanese Nismo Z police cars

You're right.... Japan has had a cycle of underachieving for years on coupe cars. The 350 was not a well evolved car either. Aside from the engine going high rev in 2007. The other biggest achievement was boring out the engine to 3.7 litres.
Sure they fixed everything wrong that was wrong with the 350z. But if they were really trying to innovate. The Z would have come out in mid 2007 as a 2008 model. That said the 2013 progress could have happened in 2011 and this Nismo in 2013. By mid 2015, we should've been in a Z35.

But the Z stall isn't the worst thing that happened from Japan in my book... The worst thing that happened was the killing of the Evo.
The Evo was the pricepoint forced induction performance king and it's Gone!!! It disrupted the whole Japanese sports car game. It leaves people not needing to compete. The Z is there because there's no real competitor.

Let Chevy come back with Pontiac's solstice, with an improved suspension, more cargo room and a more ergonomic coupe option with camaro/ corvette inspired suspension. And that will be the nail in the coffin on the current Z if it is not redesigned. The way Chevy has been operating. That's not a far fetched thought.

Nissan doesn't even truly have to be revolutionary. They can be evolutionary off of the Nismo version of our cars and put in a 400hp engine and they'd be golden. The only thing they'd really have to do is lob off 200lbs on the Nismo like design for a weight of around 3,100lbs.... re-engineer the trunk to be 10 cuft. and spruce up the interior.

Nissan is figuring out how to make a bread & butter Z. The Z shouldn't be built for volume.

It should be built for some fvckin respect in the car game....

I know they think the GTR does that. But when it's a non attainable price. You're pricing it in an area where ANYONE can make a sick car.

You make your bones in the Sub $50K market.

So Nissan....

Have some SELF RESPECT!!!

B1TCHEZ!!!

I dont hate my car one bit. the interior is fine. and i love the exterior just fine. i love how not every other person is driving it like the subayota and the tiburon.

That's awesome, I love my car too, but you liking your car is not going to translate into innovation, higher sales numbers and a better sports car for the future with a Nissan badge.

I agree. While Nissan is concentrating in the Sentra Nismo and the StarWars edition Rogue, they are leaving our awesome Zs behind. Come on Nissan! Wake up!

I agree. I think the people who don't like the interior just didn't option it out. My fully-optioned 2013 Touring plus sports package is still a far nicer interior than the brand-new 2016/2017 Camaro and Mustangs.

That's Highly subjective. I like my interior but it feels highly outdated. The Nismo with the recaros is the most fitting interior for the Z and that also looks dated. I think if Nissan neglected anything the most. It's the interior.

I personally feel the camaro interior is the superior interior. It's drawbacks are screen position and weird a/c operation. But... it looks like a proper interior.
I think our interior can be the best interior still with some material and color updates and a new stereo center update.

The interior of the Touring with Nav is OK for todays standards. The base with base radio feels very outdated.

But compare ours to the NEW 2017 Alpha Romeo 4C. Pic below. Ours still not bad at all.
