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

Ape Factory

I have to respectfully disagree given the fact the writer is using direct quotes from Pandikuthira who's the VP for product planning in Europe. Those are Pandikuthira's words, not the writers.

We may not like what he's saying but there's nothing inherently fake about the article or the journalist.

And what IS he saying? The quotes say absolutely nothing concrete and the article says absolutely nothing concrete. What I'm trying to tell you is that a journalist has made up a story from absolutely nothing. Re-read the quotes and you'll see.

In my terms, that's fake news.

While I agree with your comments, I disagree on the interpretation based on nothing more than my hope.

It's not uncommon for product planning guys to give off false vibes just before a new model is introduced. I really struggle with the idea that Nissan would announce the debut of a new Z concept for Tokyo in October while also planning to kill the line off.

Tadge Juechter, Corvette Chief Engineer, is notorious for denying upgrades, changes and new models right up to their introduction. I've seen Toyota and Ford do the same.

The vast amount of cost in developing the car was accomplished with the Q60. I think (again based on hope) that the Z35 follows the introduction pattern of the Z34/G37 - Z introduction 6 - 12 months after Q introduction.

Again, this is based on nothing more than hope. I'm waiting to see what happens in October. If the Z35 looks like a winner, and more importantly a go, I'll wait for introduction. Otherwise, I'm picking-up a 2017/2018 Nismo Z34.

We have just over six months to find out.

I think that is based on pragmatism not hope, and probably the most realistic interpretation of things to come in this thread. They've spent the development dollars on the Q60 at this point retooling for the new Z, while likely already part of that planning process all along, becomes a much more viable and cost-effective venture for them.

Unless they drop the Z in favor of the Infiniti all together, but that is a completely different market segment so I don't see how that would make sense.

it might come back for the 50th anniversary then. gives them time to come up with something

Well, if in fact he is an enthusiast like the article claims, then, let it die for a few years. 370 is a great car to go out on. Come back and make it revolutionary...again. Like the Z is supposed to do. Make the Z35 have Porsche scratching their chin again.

I don't believe it. Don't see a reason to trust an Australian article. They are always like 3 years behind getting new cars there so what do they know lol

Since this is already off the rails....

You all know that all news is fake right? I mean there's events and whatnot that take place but any and every angle you are shown is meant to sway and distract. If any of you actually buy into any of that your intelligence level makes me worry that you have cars that can go very fast.

Maybe a TT Z is not for you lot lol

You cant be serious. Why in the world would we be fed fake news? I mean, its not like there are cover ups or agendas to push.
