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

RicerX

LOL. The Evo is irrelevant, chief. It's not in production anymore. Criticisms aside, the 370Z still is.

Care to give me your best generalization as to why you think that is?

Sure "chief":

- It has a design that is somewhat childish and lacks appeal beyond a certain demographic.

- It's based on a lancer and unless you're a car nerd it's viewed as one.

- Said crappy interior. The design is nice and simple, but there's hard plastic everywhere. MR is way better than the GSR. I was shocked by how appalling the GSR interior is.

- Same issue as the Z in so far as it started getting left behind in performance capabilities (stock form of course) and the market place for fun sporty cars became a lot more competitive. Mitsu, like Nissan, essentially abandoned the car and didn't iterate to keep up, leaving people to go elsewhere.

I'm fairly certain the reason it didn't sell well is NOT because it had things like brembos, recaros, DCTs, etc.
