If they want to sell more Z's why don't they offer smaller engine packages like 4cyn.
Keep it price competitive.
Why just offer 1 engine options.
That's where Nissan messed up. Most younger buyers can't afford $35k sporty cars.
Smaller engine with some less features to keep under 25k.
Or build that crap here in the U.S or mexico if they want to save more.

Look at the Stang's and cameros, they offer multiple engine options for different price. Smart so they can sell more

It's safe to say Nissan has no clue what they are doing . Their cars are all ugly besides the z. Nothing is affordable anymore where as they used to be best bang for your buck.

Why is everyone on this thread unhappy? If this happens our Z's will sell for more money, we should be happy

Hold onto your Z' brothers and (sisters). Especially them Nismo'z!

First a lot of people won't pay more for a used or used up car.
It sucks. I guess I'll go with a stang or camero

They might, compared to what they'd pay if the new Z were an awesome Z car that's lighter, better handling and comes with a twin turbo. I'm not saying our Z's will skyrocket to s2000 status overnight (which could happen too), I'm saying the resale value might be 2 or 3k more than what we'd expect thanks to the new version not being as good.

True but would u pay for a used or potential used up z over say a brand new stang or camero if it was close in price?
I wouldn't.
Now people with money sure, but I wouldnt. But then again if u got money then why a Z when u can get a gtr or something else.

They say that a lot of people are not buying sporty cars and going toward the crossover. Well with a **** economy and Nissan charges an arm and a leg for Z, what do they expect.
I think Nissan messed up by not having engine options as I sated earlier. Cheaper and people would buy more and there for Z would be around more.
Just like the Z's before, way over priced and wasn't selling great so they end of stopping production.
It seems history is repeating itself with Nissan again. I guess they don't learn from their mistakes.
Toyota and Honda.
They aren't doing it right when it comes to "affordable sporty" cars.

They are going to be nowhere close in price. The new stang will be like 38k vs a used Z for say 20k. GTR figures nowhere in this.

Also a stang - even the new one - handles nothing like a Z and there's a small market (potential BMW / Subaru buyers) who will place a Z over a stang any day.

How to sell a new Z:

3100lbs or lighter
375hp base v6
420hp turbo nismo variant
Slightly better interior materials
Clean body lines (NOT that stupid new V grille they're adopting to every model in their lineup). Zs and GTRs are special. They don't need your dumb corporate design language face.

And a 4 banger to compete with sub 20k class

Get over it guys. The next Z is a crossover. No more sports car.
