According to this magazine, the updates will be an updated grille and sideskirts for the exterior and they claim most updates will be in the interior. I would hope so because we are probably the only car over 20k without bluetooth/usb and other little conveniences being standard. Not that I personally bought the Z for gadgets, but on a standpoint much larger than myself. People looking for a sports car or any car base a cars cool factor on gadgets and gizmos. Mustang has that sync, camaros have on star. They all have bluetooth. They all can get upgraded stereos without buying $4000 in unnecessary leather pkgs.
Z loses a lot of buyers due to the too little/too much factor. In other words. Not many want to pay over 40k for this car. But want a little more that's in the base package. When you compare to the GT cars, they offer more for the dollar as far as gadgetry and music for less money. The best examples are mustang and gencoupe.

What I found most interesting, this article stated that nissan may lower its msrp to compete with the likes of mustang and other sports cars. I can definately see that as well. With the rise in competition. The Z has to offer more. 40k is not cheap. Car companies are going back to the basics and offering more for less. Nissan must adapt as well. They make the best sports car for the money but some key ingredients can definately make it an even better buy.

What you guys think?
