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

UNKNOWN_370

C6 sales were drastically low when they came out with the C7. They took a chance that they would sell them in droves DESPITE the market and thank God, they did. If Nissan putout an equally desirable product. They can seriously boost their sales. I know we can get back those 20,000 annual numbers with a class competitive car. But at the same time. I'd rather the Z remain as niche as it is.


It all boils down to a comment I made a week ago or longer.

Nissan is 80% made up of bread and butter cars. The Z should be less about the numbers and more about the heritage. If they built it for the passion? IT WILL SELL.

Carlos Ghosn is the worst thing that happened to the sports car aspect of Nissan. He's a liberal Greenpeace pansy who wants to build Prius competitors, not sports cars.

If Nissan had true enthusiasts high up like GM does? Your comment would have not a shred of relevance. It's only relevant based on who runs things. Not Nissan's overall potential to sell Z's in high numbers with the right people runnin shyt. The Z34 sold over 30,000 cars in the first 3 years and then things died off. I blame them taking long to rectify, issues and not making enough annual improvements while rivals made dramatic strides annually. Nissan would have sold more Z's if they would have fixed CSC year one, addressed cabin tech during the refresh year. Adding a worthy oil cooler and doing it mid year one as it was the first complaint. Would have tuned the base engine to 350 and tweaked 370hp out the Nismo. Updated materials during the extension years 7 and 8.

If you want people to care about your product. You have to act like you care about your product.

Nissan sold way less leafs but made drastic improvements every year to improve EV. They CHOSE to neglect the Z.
