Did a bear climb up your asss and die? Tell us how you really feel. :rofl2: You're not alone in your feelings. I've had 3 Nissans in my time. Think I'm through with them if they drop the Z. :shakes head: I'll hang on to my Nismo for a long time now.

Since Nissan has ditched us on the Z I'm becoming more and more interested in the Q60.
These things are monsters! Take a look at what Z1 just did with one of these by adding racepipes, cat back exhaust, and a tune!

Q60 would hold my interest if it had a manual. Instead it's just another heavy luxo boat.

:rofl2:

I almost pulled that trigger, but the chassis just didn't cut it for the power. It's all fluff n a great engine. Transmission is Shyt. Features to dollars are Shyt n gimmicky. Beautiful car with NO SUBSTANCE when you push it. But it's an amazing first impression when you first feel those turbos spool. The number steering and Nissan only having their shytty black interior on lots vs those beautiful options. Plus the red sport is poorly packaged as you can barely set it apart from the base car.

This car needs a lot of work still

You know I say it how it is brutha... Here's an interesting comment in an article which we already know but... Why not?

The surprise may be the GTR with a new design and a $20,000 increase. Now jt will start where the track edition starts. $130,000 Cuz Nissan is delusional with every year that passes.

They should double badge th Heritage 370Z as a 10th Anniversary 370Z.

:icon17:

How about triple badge it. The "Heritage", The "10th" and the "Last Z".

“The Last Z” ... LOL.

I will be thinking hard about which car I should take pride in for the near future. I might decide to supercharge the Z or ditch it altogether for a Corvette Stingray, Camaro SS, or the refreshed 2018+ Mustang GT.

What bothers me the most about this issue is the lack of passion and action on Nissan's part while other manufacturers like Chevrolet have been coming up with winners and killer products over and over again. While the C7 Z06 has overheating problems, Stingray and Grand Sport have been impressive. Corvettes have been getting more and more reliable with each passing generation.

Oh................and don't forget the unveiling of C7 ZR1 in Dubai. A supercar killer for a discount price.

Meanwhile, Nissan has been passive, conservative and boring all in one. While I understand that sports cars, especially 2-seaters, are not profitable, one has to think with a killer instinct. A car company has to decide to want to build a fan favorite car to be profitable with that sports car. If they keep thinking that it will never be profitable enough, then they won't have the killer instinct to build something great. They are, in effect, fulfilling their own prophecy of failure by thinking like a defeated person.

Subaru is now officially but temporarily killing the STI for Europe.
Seems like the competition for the Z is dying away.

Fun fact; Subaru even increased the price for the 2018 model, but also added some real improvements like LED headlights, upgrade to 19" inch wheels, bigger infotainment screen and bright yellow brake calipers for looks.

She’s dead Jim.

Juke or Rogue... maybe a new model. Doubt it’s a Z.

Yeah, probably the new juke since it’s already known they were working on a replacement already

Nissan Kicks, boring af... snoozefest so far.

New motor.

LA Auto Show: The 2019 Infiniti QX50 debuts with radical new engine design | Fox News

Very interesting..

I literally LOLed when I saw that dumpster fire of a car.

My 97 Chevy Cavalier made more torque.

All that tech though, and it doesn’t really make amazing power... would like to see a dyno graph on it to really understand the benefits

Let's face it, the era of sports cars for the average Joe is coming to an end. Once self-driving transportation becomes mainstream or mandated, there may not be a profitable market for performance cars. Why would anyone buy a sports car if they can't drive it and it always goes the speed limit? We may be relegated to driving our vintage sports cars on a track. Does anyone else see this differently?

Was thinking about these self driving cars... if one of them runs into you, who do you sue?

-The rider in it
-The owner
-The manufacurer
-The IT guy that programmed it

So just would be liable?

Things that make you go hmm.......

This thread is dead as my grandfathers hot rod!

Insurance would say denied cuz Act of God is not covered sorry.:ugh2:

The other part of this is. The self-driving car decides who lives and who dies in a crash.

I think the intent was to combine v6 power without sacrificing any of the traditional 4cyl mpg but agree, it doesn't seem to be much better than a normal 2.0T in either category. Should be interesting to see how this engine fairs.

Some I, Robot logic in there...

THE Z WILL LIVE ON...

Article posted 12/1/17 :driving:

So, 2021? Here's to hoping!!!!

Be another 9 years before Nissan does anything. Sounds like the new Z is still in the planning stages.

That article said exactly nothing. However, if it will be a few years until the next gen of the Z, I wonder if they'll continue the 370Z or if there will be a hiatus like there was between the 300ZX and 350Z.

Watch it come back in a few years with hybrid and semi autonomous crap

Be Nissan's first self-driver. :shakes head:
