I sold my 6 speed 370 for an 8 speed Auto Genny Coupe after 10 months; I never saw 4th gear in it unless I was going somewhere off the grid in South Florida. Traffic is TERRIBLE. The old lady got a DCT in her Turbo Veloster, had high hopes for a DCT in the Z35. DCT is AMAZING.

most of the videos i watched said the auto was pretty terrible, especially compared the fantastic ZF in the direct competitor.

EDIT: actually now that i look for it, i can't find which videos ragged on the auto, but there were at least 2 that said it shifted pretty slowly.

I didn’t see one that ragged on the auto, but most of the guys I’ve seen driving the manual didn’t have a clue.

One review was a full second behind in 0-60 with the manual.

Maybe it’s just not having enough time with a clutch? My wife knows how to drive a manual but refuses to. Pretty sure she’d drive it if it was an auto, but that’s not something I care to entertain.

Yea, saw that one! Looks like nothing a tire change can’t fix.

The more I see reviews on the Z - and the fact that most of the reviews against the Supra have come back unfavorable to the Z - makes me wonder if there will be wild markups on the car (maybe I'm just being naive). As for the manual vs the auto - I can see why someone would want to switch - i would probably lean more toward the manual bc we all know the day will be here sooner rather than later that they all disappear.

Right now - I'm kinda on the fence - for 'sh!ts and grins' I put in my car to see what Carvana would give me - wow the prices have dropped haha (I only added like 6k miles since last time I checked) and they came back with an offer of $23k - so that really makes me think that keeping the current Z is the smart move for me - but being a car enthusiast - do we ever make 'smart' decisions when it comes to cars

All the talk of pricing over on the other forum. Its really not much different than with the 370 (higher of course), only that Nissan has reduced options.

370
Base 30k
Sport $3500? (I forget exactly)
Touring $4500
Sport + Touring $8000.

Z
Base 40k
Sport + Touring $10000.

They have changed the marketing names, raised the price for 13 years later, and are making people buy the touring package stuff. Definitely a step backwards in terms of options to buy.

Also, I guess it must be different around the world, but anyone who paid sticker price for 370Z in Southwest Ohio got ripped off. When the sticker for my 2012 Sport was about $37,500 (give or take), I paid $34,500. Nissan could hardly give Zs away. Contrary to what people might say here, the 370Z was not a great seller for Nissan. Sales of the 370 pailed in comparison to the 350 (the 350 sold more cars in it's first year than the 370 managed to sell in its first 4 years COMBINED. I don't see this new Z doing much better. Maybe the first year or 2, but after that, I'm pretty sure there will be heavy discounts and people buying them at dealer invoice. Of course only time will tell.

Just spotted this at Home Depot today. I wish the spot next to it was available so I could've snapped a pic with mine. I personally feel it needs a body kit. Too plain of a look.

That gas cap cover gives me a chuckle every time I see it.
Agree that it looks plain. Generic sports car would be the caption beside it's pic.

I think it's funny that people call the new Z 'a 370Z with a body kit', but then people say the new Z needs a body kit.
