That's like trying to read a chinese menu.

ryang · 10-13-2015, 11:04 PM

I believe the percentage is the chances of them making an announcement of the model at the show.

MC · 10-13-2015, 11:34 PM

for what is worth nissan already put out the line up for their exhibit at tokyo motor show. there was no mention of the Z.

There was no mention of the newest Nismo Z until about 2 or 3 days before ZDayZ either

There is a big difference between the announcement of a new Z and a new nismo Z.

MC · 10-14-2015, 02:57 PM

yeah im just saying you would think like most manufacturers do they would atleast say something like an all new concept will be shown ect..... and then get the buzz going but not even a mention of it. there is a minor facelifted GTR( still R35) coming out any day now and I was 100% sure if would be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show as well but no mention of it either.

their big headliner seems to be a real world rolling shell concept of the 2020 Vision GT concept. its going to have a fleshed out interior working headlights and a new paint scheme. other than that there is the gripz again and little compact scion like vehicle. press release also mention 20 cars total but I took that to be the entire existing line up....so who knows. but with 2 weeks to go im not optimistic

it sucks because the TMS is every 2 years and while its possible and even likely the Z might be shown for the first time outside of a Japanese show it just seems like a missed opportunity to at least have something there to keep the Z in everyone's mind.

yeah I know right. my best connection moved over from Z and GTR to be one of the lead guys on the new titan truck. the new guys I interact with are super cool just toe the corporate line a bit more so its hard to get straight answers from them

Nisan seems to be too focused on retarded concept vehicles that will never make it to production. it's very sad.

sidenote I thought the 370 was debuted at the LA show?

im hoping they keep the Z alive and update it soon. the C7 has been looking tempting and now the BMW M2 is so sexy and priced pretty decently. there's always my one and only love the GT-R if the financials line up lol I mean if the M@ with options is 65-70 and I can go get a 15 gt-r with very low miles for 75 its a no brainer lol just saying the longer Nissan waits the competition for the older growing 370 crowd's dollars is gonna go elsewhere it seems if not gone already.

MC · 10-14-2015, 03:13 PM

maybe they are just waiting for the Q60 coupe to be shown in production form and follow suite after that? i dunno

yeah LA auto show was it. so its not locked in to Tokyo its just there is a bit of a drought in Z land right now and if they had something ready and wanted to really push it the timing just seems right for Tokyo but that doesnt seem like the case.

M2 looks like one of the most promising cars in a while and supposed to start low 50's. I would say that is in a different bracket and not apples to apples with the Z but then again weve all seen the window sticker on a NISMO Tech these days. so unfortunately is a tiny bit closer than one might think although the performance is on two different planets

75K 2015 GTRs are a reality as the market is in bad shape right now. I would look for a under 15K miles high 60's 2013 as it was the fastest year before they got softened up a bit

oh I know the M2 and Z are separate brackets. i'm just saying unless the next Z or Q60 come out and wow me, i'll probably just move up to something like the C7, M2, etc...

I think the Q60 proto was sexy and if the 3.0 TT makes it in that and well at the Z I may just have to stick around lol

OEM 400HP boosted Z?! of course i'll go with that.....as long as it looks good of course.

MC · 10-14-2015, 03:24 PM

I fear the Q60 coupe might be received how the Lexus RC was as sort of panned as looks the part but too soft and not up to german competition by any stretch of the imagination

speaking of the Q60 coupe this article speculates if it will make a surprise appearance at TMS . which would make the Z even less likely as im sure they want to stagger the debut of their two similar cars

yea I agree. highly doubt they would debut both together. kinda leaves some hope to repeat the debut at LA though for the Z. I mean its only 1 month separation from Tokyo but could be enough? lol

I just wish we had even some slight hint at what the fate of the next Z was or when.

tvfreakazoid · 10-14-2015, 03:39 PM

Its odd that the Z hasnt had any decent changes since 2009. Only minor cosmetic changes here and there. Thats not good.
The gtr same. But at least it had a decent power boost but not too much of a change over the yrs.
Nissan needs to hire new people or something

Here's an article about the next Infiniti Q60:

Infiniti Q60 Coupe to Debut at 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Quote:

Look for more details on the production Infiniti Q60 toward the end of this year, ahead of the car's debut in January 2016.

If the production version of the Q60 is gonna be unveiled at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show then we're getting close to the next Z..... I hope.

triso07 · 10-17-2015, 06:47 AM

The Q60 design is very nice. Leagues above what Nissan has been putting out lately. Clean flowy lines. In Forza 6 the car is 400hp and around 3650lbs.

Too heavy for a Z, but the motor seems promising if they share it.
