Nope, not good at all. I remember way back in 1994 I wanted to buy a Maxima. Then in 1995 they replaced the independent rear suspension with a solid beam in the name of cutting costs. I kicked myself hard. I hope they don't do something similar to our beloved Z! Anyone sitting on the fence wanting to wait until the next model year for minor bugs to be worked out -- you might want to reconsider that strategy! It would be awful to wait for the '10 model, only to discover that they've taken away a bunch of stuff to cut costs.
