I was a little tired of the Gun Metallic, the bumper to bumper warranty was about to run out next month, I had 44K miles on the car, figured I could get a good deal on a new one so close to the end of the year especially with everyone's focus on Christmas shopping and not car shopping, and a good trade in-value while the car was only 3 years old rather than 4 or 5, which I did get. I loved my '12 and you're right, other than the color and the '15 having USB and Bluetooth and the LED running lights, there's hardly any difference which I'm totally OK with because as I said, I really loved the '12. I think the '15's steering wheel cross-sectional diameter might be a little smaller, not much but an easier grip, and I think the low-gear (it's an AT-7) shift profile is a little different, but that's about it. Handles the same, rides the same, very comfortable. I drove my '12 from San Diego to Bolivia, NC about 18 months ago in 4 days; it was a great, comfortable, fun ride. Probably do it again soon in the '15. If things work out for me financially in the next few years I might bite the bullet and get a GT-R. I think the Z should have 400 HP or a LITTLE better. If they can get 500+ out of the GT-R with a SLIGHTLY larger engine I don't think 400 out of the 3.7 is asking too much.
