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

Jordo! · 08-30-2015, 07:25 PM

That is either the next gen Juke, the "mini Z" that has been discussed (but not the actual Z), or a really early April Fool's gag.

And gag I did, when I saw it.

Vomit and spit.

I call this BS.
Makes me appreciate mine more.
If this is true, ill keep my 370z forever.

GTR is a halo car, not intended to sell anywhere close to huge numbers.

The Z is in an entirely different category. There should be some synergy between the two but not a whole lot of overlap.

They could double the power (and cost) and speed wouldn't increase all that much (certainly much less than double!). A modest increase (10-15% increase) would mostly solve the marketing bullets. Value is obtained by reducing overhead on the somewhat ridiculous markup for the tech package (or better yet making it standard equipment at least at a certain trim level).

No worries Leroy, it's probably cause you're in Dubai. In Honolulu, you'll see Z's a little more often than a GTR but they're both rare sights!

ped, I agree with you. Nissan needs to increase the performance of the Z to keep it relevant and increase sales, not make it a Toyobaru competitor or mini crossover.

While the average car owner may not know or recognize the physical difference between a 350 or 370Z. The average car owner recognizes the "Z" name. Every single time someone asks me, what kind of car do you drive? I respond, "a 370Z". They always reply with "wow".

Other than the Altima, the Z probably still has the 2nd most recognizable name in the whole line up of Nissan cars. IMO, It would be a terrible shame for Nissan to change this Icon into basically an entry level compact.

not to mention that the GTR is butt ugly
