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

I highly doubt these are liquid crystal. They're LED or OLED displays which are more durable.

LED displays are LCD displays. Just the back lighting is different. But in terms of durability, I think thats totally debatable. Many cars use plain old LCD displays with zero issue.

For me, what sucks the most with these new displays is night driving. Even at their lowest setting they are too bright. I turn off the center screen on my SUV because I hate it blaring at me at night.

I can't say for certain since I've not driven one yet, but my money says I'll hate the new Z dash at night.

My Genesis automatically switches to night mode when dark...works brilliantly. You dont think the Z35 will have that?

Oh it will. But even at its lowest setting it will still be too overall bright for my tastes. Only if the screen is OLED does it stand a chance with me. And yes, I'm picky. Just ask my wife.

it's still a z34 so that doesn't work.
Just call it "The Nissan Z"
doesn't really roll of the tongue but that's it's name.
The next will hopefully be a new chassis, if they even make one. So it would be z35, easy to call it that, even if it's the New New Nissan Z officially.

Neither calling it a 400Z or just Z makes sense with history of the car. Fact.

99% of normal people in the world have no clue what a Z34 or any of the previous numbers are. So not an answer.

Other companies mess with names and numbers something aweful. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Time will tell here.

The fact is plain and simple to me. If they wanted to keep with tradition, this should have been a 300Z, or the 300ZX. If they wanted the very best marketing for main stream people, it should have been the 400Z, or 400ZX. Bigger is better when it comes to mass public marketing.

Are we really STILL discussing this? Wow. Time to move on folks.

For me, the one and only upside is this car is faster (and it has an extra cup holder - haha). That's it. Its not as good looking as the 370, the wheel options completely suck compared to the 370 Sport, the must "go all in" $10k package thing is worse than the 370 Sport/Touring split or together option, the must pay more for and get 2 tone for most colors sucks bad, the old dash is better (all the electronic gismo is just modern gimmicky), and I don't care if the handling is slightly better (which I seriously doubt) it has electronic power steering assist (something I typically HATE). So nope, no dice. This is not an upgrade car. This is a cool car if you don't have a 370 already. For me, forget about it. I'm keeping the 370 by a LONG mile.

This^^^^ This is EXACTLY how I felt about the 370 when it came out! No way I was giving up my 350 for a 370!! I stuck it to the man by waiting a couple years and buying a brand new one!! I sure showed him!!

My point is, it's called a Nissan Z. Too late for anything else. Not comparing cars, names or components. Just the fact.

The icons episode they were talking about on the Carmudgeon show is out.

I just watched this. The comments on the steering are enough for me to mark the Z off the list completely. If there's one thing I hate about my WRX with EPS, it's the lack of feel going thru the corners. Granted, the Z has a different system, but I'll have to pass.

Loved it!!!

Yeah I don't get it: I fit enough camping gear for a week in my 370z plus a friend, just fine. I think the whole suv/cuv thing is more about "looking" sporty and "fitting in" vs. actual practicality... 370z does the occasional gravel road fine... almost anything fits in it within reason... and I have successfully avoid marriage/kids/mortgage debt = and I don't have any friends.

It'll be interesting to see what happens going into this recession/depression and what dealers do to move units (this topic is rarely brought up when the whole debate about 370z sales occurred - that was right during the last housing crash).

It'll also be interesting to see what happens in terms of how bad ICE owners will be penalized since the clear message now is "JUST" go out and buy an electric car or face endless job ending social alienation/isolation because you ate a steak 2 days ago and drive an ICE vehicle.

It'll be like that movie Demolition Man - "Subtract 20 points because you farted"

These morons who drive EV's still need fossil fuels (Power Plants) to charge them

Bunch of idiots, who never critically think about anything.

IDGAF if gas is $10. I'd rather drive an ICE than an EV that ravages the environment to mine for the minerals needed to make those batteries.
The environmental impact mining for those batteries has, is 100x worse than anything a ICE can do. But the self righteous dumb fuqs don't want you to bring that up.

I bet all these EV's catch fire at some point in the future.
