Have no fear,
New Z will appear.

Why would you trade a 2 seat coupe for a sedan unless you're having a baby?
I love how you guys make the comparisons that don't make any sense to feel better about your purchases. You sound like EVERYBODY on here who floated to a mustang in 2011. The real competition is the maxima. Let's peep those stats for a second....
Nissan Maxima
HP. 300
Torque 261
Power train. 3.5 litre normally aspirated v6
Drive train. FWD
Transmission. 0 speed CVT
0-60. 5.9 seconds.
Sound system. 11 speaker unadvertised wattage.
Kia Stinger GT
HP. 365HP
Torque 376
Powertrain 3.3 twin turbo v6
Drive train RWD/FWD
Transmission 8 speed automatic w paddle shift
0-60. 5.1 estimated.
Sound system Harmon Kardon 15 speaker 720 watts
Now which one is the drivers car on paper? On top of that you can't tune 90HP out of it for $2,500 or less like most turbos. How much is it gonna cost us for 90HP.
I love my Z. It's a different n special car. But it's falling behind n I am not willing to lie to myself about the brand to feel better about my purchase. I can go out and buy a Z06 cash. So I have the option of having something else. What I want is a competitive Z done EXACTLY the way Kenchan explained what the Z needs to be.
As far as build quality. Well Hyundai is our quality competition.
Genesis outclasses infiniti quality to price so I think Kia isn't doing too bad considering.
