i agree with your point on the hp/weight ratio idea. i personally find mashing full throttle on my beater csx more fun then the 370 because i dun have to worry about speeding. if i did that in the 370 i'd have my car tolled by the police and charged with stunt driving. however the 370 is superior in every single way to my beater. I think if Nissan wants to follow the original fairlady concept then it would be too niche to be a big seller. It probably needs to upsize to become a 2+2 to compete in america, and increase the hp to compete with the camaros and mustangs. Then it will stray far away from the concept of a fairlady and lose the identity totally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
The 300Zx was offered in a 2+2 trim. I'm not overly concerned about a vestigial backseat if it will help Nissan keep these available. They can always be removed :p
I still got about a year until my Z is fully paid off, so I guess I'll just continue to sit back and wait... |

Maybe 1-5 of the following, Titan, Titan XD, 370Z, Maxima, GT-R, Pathfinder, and Armada. My 2014 Z actually sat on the lot for a year and a half before I bought it. |
No 2+2! One of the things that makes the Z special is being a 2 seater. Those backseats would be completely useless anyway and would do nothing but add size and weight.

I said dealer as in dealership, and my numbers are not way off for around here anyway. You are also in Canada. And I'm referring to 2015 and up. Four dealers around here, would you like to see their inventory lists? Lastly I'm talking around my area, I'm not insinuating anything.
Also, wanted to mention that I said what was on the lot, not what has been sold. I will admit that going back after and confirming, the dealers around here carry a few more Pathfinders than expected. But the 370Z though, my numbers are NOT way off. They dealer told me this and a different dealer still has a roadster that has been there for over a year now. |
the z just doesn't sell that well.
|
For the 2016 year 5,913 Z's sold in US and 932 for Canada. Prior year 7,391 & 688 respectively. Definitely not a big seller.

Honda/Acura would kill to move 7-8000 units of some of their cars, no joke. Granted, the 350z sold much better, but part of that is due to the Z hiatus after the 300zx. People were excited for the car when it returned. |

system :thumbsdown: ). The Z WILL be missed if its discontinued, you know what they say.. "you dont know what you have until its gone". |

So what do you call a mild refresh of the Nismo model only in the year that we were supposed to get a new Z???? These Z'S have been the same car going on 9 years this year. Just cuz there's Z's on a lot doesn't mean that Nissan is doing anything with our Z's right now. I think for 2.5 years. We been on a hiatus. Changing a body style and upping gear ratios isn't my idea of Nissan doing anything but putting lipstick on a pig. The Z is the same old pig. So it's on hiatus. I agree that Z the is a great car on its own. You're completely right about that. Like I stated before. Nissan should at least have the decency to want to compete against itself and make itself better, if it's not going to compete in the market? Give us that FVCKIN VR engine already for fvck sakes. Damn Nissan!!! Leave in the hydraulic steering. Leave in the e brake. Tune the 7 speed n give it higher power tolerances and quicker shifts Redesign the interior and make the exterior evolutionary. That's all they gotta do. N fvck EV's.... shyt!!!! |
I think the Z is very useable. I've packed an incredible amount of gear in the hatch and gone on vacation in it with my wife.
2 seat only (hatch retained) 3000-3100lbs 350-400hp (turbo 6) (even though I would prefer NA TBH) Brembo brakes (option) Recaro Seats (option) 7 speed manual 7 speed DCT (option) Better handling and braking Slightly better materials for the interior Slightly better sound proofing NO vmotion grill That will pull people aspiring to a Z from BRZ and FRS, people who want a Cayman but see the Z as a cheaper faster alternative, and if priced competitively people buying muscle cars who really just want a quick sporty coupe. |
