Nissan going silent devalues enthusiast interest in Nissan.

Here's Nissan mentality.

Ghosn: We made great sports car yet America has criticized it and hasn't bought em up in droves.... we're mad let's make EV'S instead even though Americans aren't buying those either...

Product development: Mr Ghosn, what about the 80,000 loyalists who bought Z's and the 150,000 350z owners waiting for a Z35?

Mr Ghosn: Fvck em let them buy a leaf or let Kia outdo us and take our enthusiast clientele with their 2800lb 375hp coupe, like the one we falsely promised our fanbase.

Jungle Z.... the most annoying profit in history. Smh.
TITAN is their pride and joy now. All R&D was dropped into this by the sounds of it. They forgot about the rest of the line up.

You forgot about Nissan's newest sports car. The rogue sport.

Hey, a LOT of R&D went into rebadging what's called the "Qashqai' in every other market, to bring you Rogue Sport! LOL

Personally, I think they blew the product development budget by paying off LicasFilm / Disney.

Unless Nissan does something surprising the new Z is already a fail. There is already another Z that is looking a lot more promising, and that would be the upcoming BMW Z4/Z5.

That is by far and away the #1 reason why I would not buy a BMW. Fanboys with money (not all though).

Not yet but Ghosn thinks your idea is a better investment than the Z. So you'll get one really soon. For now u gotta live thru the excitement of the midnight edition.

You'll be delighted to hear that Carlos Ghosn is stepping down soon. Be careful what you wish for...

Porsches have always had a great, unique look, but damn!...the current 911 and Cayman models are really sexy.

No Extra Charge For A Six-Speed Manual On The New Porsche 911 GT3 [32 Images]

The above article tells you Porsche NOT charging EXTRA for the manual.

Here's where people believe the hype and fail to smell the bullshyt. On a regular carrera, there's about a $4500 premium for a PDK give or take a couple hundred bucks.

So in reality you're paying a $4,500 premium for a manual. Lol. Reee dickyou lie

And don't you have to get on a list for Porsche approval of the GT3 Manual? I'll take the PDK.

Cayman's $60K list price = $100K if you want a Porsche-like interior

LMAO...I here you on the "non-mark up!" I bought a brand new Ford F350 Powerstroke 4x4 back when they first hit the market in 1995. I had it built the way I wanted and opted for manual locking hubs because the electronic one's were garbage back then. The fleet manager laughed and said that is going to cost you more because it is an upgrade since all there 4x4s come with electronic hubs. I laughed too and paid for the upgrade...same thing applies here!

I often wonder how much fun a Porsche 911 GT3 can actually be on the street? You have 500HP but you have to shove 373lbs of torque through 7 gears & 9,000rpm? I am trying to process this in my head. In street driving, wouldn't this car feel completely torqueless?

It really seems like a track only engine on a street car?? Maybe someone here has test driven a GT3?
