I'm with you though, I don't see any need for power seats. But I know others do so I guess Nissan has to try and balance. They assume the purist type will just opt for the base interior.

I don't like power seats because of 1) weight, 2) speed (they are slow!) and 3) they are expensive when they break... and they do break!!!

1) , 2), 3)

even though i have power seats

Nobody drives my Z so I don't fuss with the seats. Maybe what's wrong with the Z is that its not sold in low numbers to enthusiasts ONLY like the S2k was,miata, EVO and WRX STi. I guess that's what makes those cars special.

Miata....over 900,000 sales since 1990

Yeah but Nissan needs to try to make money off the car, so it has to appeal to a broad market.

With the EVO/STI, they are subsidized by the base models. The Miata has always been a cult seller. And it's cheap as heck... though some of the more recent ones aren't. S2000 was on the market at a good time, but if you follow the progression of it Honda made near yearly changes to make it appeal more to a broader market.

Anyway. I'm a Z fanatic and only want the Z to succeed and keep succeding at being the best without there being a comparison to a hyundai... I already own my Z and on my second Z and owned 2 G's 3 altima's. A 240sx fastack and will probably own a few more nissans. I'm just saying I want to the Z to be more competitive... they can always make an NA 3.4/tr engine with 300hp on the same chassis for the ones that want it more pure...

"Yeah I'm A Lady, I'm a Lady! Not Really... Its me, KingJulian! Now, which of you is attracted to me KingBaby?"" -

Seriously man...your Z fanatic? The Genesis Coupe



All Z owners want more power...None of us needs power. The ones that do trade the Z in for a mustang/camaro/evo/subaru...go figure looks isn't a factor to some...





Even this version of the 370Z looks worlds better than the gen coupe. Some of your points are mute, and cynical. So crazy to even take serious.

If they was any car to compare to the current Z to me. It would be the BRZ/FRS the idea behind those cars is what the Z was. Now Nissan has stretched the Z to fit the American market (larger). Yet the Z car is true to the first Z car as any of them.

I sorry if my first post was blunt to this conversation, but C'mon son. Sh!t so ugly reminds me of

\/\/\/\/\/





The 370Z however much I hate it, still looks like this

\/\/\/



I did the Katie Perry 370Z please...also let's not pay too much to numbers that mags are posting!

Remember this

Drag Race - Genesis Coupe, 370Z, Mustang GT - YouTube

All subjective until it's on the street/strip. I think Nissan does need a little bump 20-30hp out of the engine. Therefore leading to more bolt-on hp. I've looked over many of the journals and it's insane the numbers some of these guys are putting down. Not everyone wants a car already done, with nothing to mod. The ones that do go get a GT-R

Shoots I don't know what I'm talking about...

sleepy and just got off a 12hr watch so hopefully you can follow my rant!

But the new Genesis is so damn ugly....I mean, really, really ugly. For that sort of ugly to be relevant, it better have numbers closer to the 'stang. It just doesn't... and the fit and finish, while improved, still feels cheap. It's still the same car its always been its going to be the next generation the sees a big jump in quality. It doesn't sound like its selling all that well anyways, so who knows if we'll ever see a second gen.

I've read that the 13 genesis does 13.6 in the 1/4 mile. Supposedly the software cuts power between shifts. If I was going to spend $30k + I would get a z.

I remember when the C6 first came out, Tq management KILLED IT. IT was running high 12's/low 13's in all the magazine tests and junk. Then they re-tuned it and it ran low/mid 12's. Expect a correction for this possibly.

i don't see anymore gen coupes than i do 370z...which is not a lot. G37 coupes are all over though.

[kenchan]

the refresh genesis is ugly. why they changed the facia beats the hell out of me. seems like these korean folks can't put the damn clay tool down at the end of the day. they need to make silly scoupes in windows or werd wavy lines along the side of the car, etc.

It's funny, come to think about it, I have heated seats in a car that is stored in winter and
power seats in a car where I'm the only driver and never adjust them.

But I do like leather seats and the red seats in my 40th are

That's why I say keep the leather. 86 the power... it reduces weight which helps performance anyway.
