Back on topic, then . . . IF they decide to call it a Z, I think the new CAFE gives us an Altima Coupe with altered styling, the Z nameplate, front wheel drive, and a turbo four. (Would NISSAN ever...

I wonder if that is zip code-specific. On the Nissan website "Build Your Z" for my zip code and on my window sticker, AT is a "no cost" option. The car costs the same, either way, in middle...

Brace yourself. Environmentalists (and people who live near wind farms) are putting an end to the concept of major wind farms. That's why, for a time recently, you heard the proposal to site wind...

That's new. That MAY just save them!

I wonder if they'll hush up the improprieties or go through with the investigations.

Problem: The Z doesn't get 26 overall right now -- it gets 26 on the highway cycle. It gets 22 overall. (And less than that on my mostly-highway driving.)

What "little ecu tuning" would get the...

You forget basic history (or maybe you're too young to have lived it). When current CAFE standards were first introduced, they DID eliminate cars like the Viper, Z06, GT-R, etc. No legal high...

Given product cycles, the current Z won't be the current Z by 2016. Even without a higher CAFE, the Z would have changed by then. It would have been at least two generations removed from today's...

Time will tell whether it will work for the long term.

Definitely plastic.

Let us all know if you find something to clean them that takes the bad stuff off but doesn't take the finish off.
