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

DLSTR · 12-30-2021, 05:27 PM

Absurd need for the factory to dictate black roof on so many colors. Black wheels are useless and so 2009.

I will test it but from certain angles its not well proportioned. The red interior is nice and the base interior will be cloth. I had that with my 2010. Cloth all the way. Fk leather and the required upkeep/maintenance.
Will not have black wheels or a black roof if purchased. Full body color and silver wheels.
The only question is how good are the base brakes or even the 'upgraded' trim's brakes.

My 2010 had 'sport' brakes and they were weak. NO excuse for that.

I know I said I'd shut up, but I have a new observation and or idea after seeing this new yellow picture.

As I've said before, I'm in 100% total agreement with you about "having" to have a black roof (and I basically hate black wheels). But now seeing this picture, I think that not only does the black roof not look good on the yellow car, but, the silver katana sword makes it look even worse. The only way a black roof works (sometimes it does, like on the new C8 Vette convertible) is for it to be all one solid black top with tinted side windows. So if I had to get a black roof, not only would I be tinting all the windows, but I would be wrapping (or painting) that silver katana sword in gloss black to make it disappear.

Agree 100%

I'm not even a hater of the black roof. Some colors look better than others, of course. Ridiculous that it isn't optional tho

Optional would be nice. NO Z I can find ever came with a black roof from the factory. Happy to be corrected on this.

It's just a hip and trendy thing right now (and the last 10+ years). Look at the Toyota Camry version. I find from what I see on the road is that, its more of a tendency for younger folks to dig the black (or other 2 tone roof options) than older folks. Not always, but generally speaking. So it would appear to me that Nissan is just going after the younger hip trendy folks. Dunno, just my 2 cents.

I can see that. So charge me 300 or so to paint the roof black or the color of the majority of the car. At least make a choice out of it. Id like blue and if we did order, its off to a good body shop for a new roof paint job.

I like black but the 370Z was black. Prefer a new color. More to follow after I can get a good test in the future.

Wow... I think that other guy was right... We get it, you don't like the black roof.
Here's a suggestion: how about you two just not buy the new Z? And furthermore, I suggest you start a different thread under the title "Why I hate the new Z, and Why you should too!".
You guys sound worse than a bunch of old ninnies playing canasta that constantly nit-pick about their husbands.
I really hope you "black roofers" don't buy one of these new Z's. (Especially for your family's sake).
Enjoy

Same back at you. This is the 370Z forum, with a thread about the new Z. This is where all opinions should be welcome.

If you want be in the "love zone", then get out of this forum and go to the new Z forum.

What kills me about people like you is that you really don't get the issue. The black roof is not the issue. Nissan making it mandatory on the majority of colors is the issue. On a special edition, fine. But on all but 2 color choices? B.S. Wheels can be swapped out. Brake calipers can be swapped or painted. But its very difficult and costly to have a roof painted the exact car color. What's much easier and cheaper is to wrap or paint a roof black if you like it that way. So you like the fact that Nissan is taking options away and forcing things down our throat. Fine. But we don't.

Company saw everyone putting a black diffuser in the back, black roof, black headlights and what do you know?

They’ve implemented all into the car over time.

Ok... So a couple internet avatars don't like me. I think I'll live. ��
What I don't get is why you two continue to post comments about how you don't like it. Here's a heads up: it's not going to make a dam bit of difference how much you bych n whine... Nothing will change. You two are becoming your own best sycophants!

"Hey Sam, the sun is hot. Yeah Jerry, the sun is hot. Hey Sam, did you know the sun will burn you? Wow Jerry, the sun must be real hot...."

Its a 'discussion'. Good or bad. Dont like it?? LEAVE! Nice insult to Firebase. You must be so well liked at car events. P A T H E T I C.

No class all trash = YOU!

Wow, haven’t checked in here for awhile and there seems to be some action going on.

Anyway, I think this car is going to look better in person than the pics, posted recently on here. Regarding the black roof, like Jar, I think they look good on some cars. I think it looks good on the seiran blue Z, and would only get that one or the all gunmetal grey. And yes, black roof as an option would have been great, but I understand cost constraints.

Regarding black wheels, not really my thing either, but like the black roof, some cars look good with it

Bottom line is we all have different tastes and likes. I think that’s great, because my car will always look better than 95% of you guys who have no taste!
