yes, the different colors do make it look better, thou like most comments, the front grille just does not do it for me. Also the comments about a refresh 370Z, had me look at some of the photos, interior parts remind me of the 370z. Along with the quarter rear window.

I think for me, it will come down to seeing the car in person, I am also price sensitive, only because car values out there.

I would think of trading my 370z in for it, but would consider it as a DD, with Automatic. Getting up there in years, but that is what I say now. Thought I get an automatic mx-5 and got a stick... some habits are just are die..

Did anyone see this article? MotorTrend says it will go on sale SPRING 2021!

"When it goes on sale in the spring of 2021 as a 2022 model, the new Z will reignite the car's traditional rivalry with the Toyota Supra. While we're looking forward to simply laying eyes on the 2022 400Z, we really can't wait to pitch those Japanese sports-car icons against each other. After all, like this redesigned Z, such a rematch has been a long time coming."

I read that article too, and though I feel that Motortrend would have facts straight before writing this, I have to wonder where they got that info. That's the only article suggesting a release next spring.

Yes, I saw that article- they probably meant Spring 2022 instead of Spring 2021. Spring 2021 would mean production would be starting in short order! I find that a bit of a stretch.

axmea?

It would look nicer in the dark. Just like at parties.....after a couple of shots of whiskey.

Fail. Sissy looking front headlights and thus overall fascia. Throwback tail lights make it look dated not retro. Interior less character than 370, but maybe the dash won't crack. AC controls look like a PITA to reach in a confined space. Thanks Nissan for hiking the values of our 370's!!!

The good...
...Nissan has finally made it official that they're doing another Z.
...3.0TT
...6MT
...handbrake
...6/4 brakes appear to be at least an option
...the iconic 3-gauge cluster

The bad...
...a lot of the exterior
...massive rectangular front grille is the worst (was size determined by intake requirements?)
...side view appears OK but lines are suboptimally shown due to lemon-lime color choice
...both front and rear look too much like a Detroit muscle car and not a Z sports car despite Nissan's insistence they're trying to channel previous Z generations.
...chrome "katana" trim, WTH?
...black roof, black lower front lip, black strip between tail lights aren't doing any favors to the lines of the car, and should be offered as an optional black package at most.
...horrible presentation leaves you wondering WTF are they thinking

Undecided, or not enough info...
...ALL of the performance specs
...color choices
...a lot of the interior and tech stuff
...new CSC or the old one from their parts bin?
...diff?, steering?
...PRICE
...availability

I ordered a 350 back in 2002 and was so excited about that car that I wore out at least 10 brochures drooling at the pictures while I was waiting for my order to arrive. Then I modded it a lot just because I could. I had it for 17 years before I had to sell it (long story) and I've pined for another Z ever since. I was hoping Nissan would build something that I liked as much as my 350 and that I wouldn't HAVE to mod it because I don't want to do that again.

After last night's presentation, I'm just not feeling it.


ETA: Nissan has to know that a lot of Z owners have been anxiously waiting for a new Z for years, and that we're a big part of their potential buyer pool. I hope they've got someone reading these forums while they still have time to tweak that design.

Love it or hate it. Bottom line, they're NOT going to discontinue the Z, and it's not a hybrid.

I never thought Acura would make a hybrid supercar.

I never thought a hybrid supercar was possible.

I never thought Honda would merge with GM.

I never thought covid19 would still be around.

Never say "never"

I want to give kudos to folks who have been here the entire time!

I have been a longtime reader (and I mean really long), and it's been been more than a roller coaster ride. Several years of 370z successor anticipation, followed by years of WTF Nissan, followed by acceptance of the successor won't happen, and now this surprise. Boy has cried wolf so many times I am really surprised this time there really was a wolf.

Now with this in mind, who cares front bumper is little fugly. Z is coming and folks are still going to get it. Kind of like getting married even though you know she is fugly. Yeah she is fugly but that ride...
