It feels to me its taking long for the Z to come out because of the way they are systematically restructuring. Also, they don't want to make the same marketing and pricing mistakes that they made with the Z 34. they want to build Nismo name into something more meaningful than just badgesand appearance mods with minor tunes. restructuring a sport car segment is much more difficult then the bread and butter cars.

Have patience and give nissan a chance to show and prove. I think we will be happier with the Z35 than with the current 34.


I am not sure about the bold comments above. After all didnt we get posts of nearly all Nissan models being tarted up with Nismo aerostyling and interior lately? To me this indicates them merely milking their current vehicles and not really caring about the true meaning or performance orientations of a Nismo and what it should at least stands for. In essence I think Nissan made their statement showing that Nismo is nothing more than a badge and extra income potential for them.
