The v6 almost had 2010 v8 stats the v6 is on par with the Z now... As I expected

I still need to see one in person to see how it makes me feel.

in the end if it doesn't WOW me then why not drop the little extra coin on a vette which will blow the doors off and look sexy lol

The 6 is now in Z territory. But it also costs the same now

This is probably the one thing that will help Nissan's case in keeping the Z in roughly the same place it has been - but if they want a true alternative, I'd be ok in a 370-ish type car that is a 2 + 2.

If you make the Z a tad more practical, you can attract some of the same segment that shops the pony cars - those that want the thrill of a fun drive that has some space to accommodate life.

The Z32 route is ideal. The Camaro advantage will be in standard features for the money

**** just got real.

I really hope Nissan is paying attention.

doubt it. Nissan is all about sales and baby 4 bangers it seems.

I still hold some hope in my heart that they follow through on that 3.0L TT that was in the prototype Q60 last year.

And it might be slammed into the new Z crossover!!!

A 4 second Camaro for $40,000
A 4.5 second SS sedan $45,000
A 3 second corvette for $80,000

If they make a 5 second sonic? They'd have the market cornered.

I'd LOL at a 5 second sonic because sonic. But you're right.

Nissan would throw a revised Nismo Juke at the Sonic.

However, at this rate, it looks like they'd throw a turbocharged Rogue at the Camaro and a twin-charged Murano convertible hybrid at the SS Sedan (the Maxima is stuck in the showroom with its "faux door sports car" badging everywhere including the innovative sun visor that tattoos the driver's forehead with "4DSC") and leave the GT-R to the Vette.

And for every sad Z driver on this forum, they'd reply to every single grievance with "but we make the GT-R".

but.....they do make the GT-R

actually when getting my tranny fluid changed a few weeks back the fiancée test drove the new 2016 murano and i'm not gonna lie it's a really great vehicle. new body lines are goo, interior is fantastic, and the ride was surprisingly good.

the down fall is the new front end style im not sure if im a fan which also scares me about the next Z. could be amazing or could be hideous......if they make one at all.

Nissan really does make a hell of a people-mover. I find the new Murano to be gorgeous. My wife has a 2015 Rogue and we both love the thing. Super practical, fits our stuff, and is amazing on gas.

Where Nissan gets me is where they try to push people-movers with stickers off as sports cars. Frustrates me.

I need to see this in person. It just seems odd in photos, but the stats are nice.
