Yes an old model but to me if i look at the porches over the past 25 years aside from rear tail lights wtf changed?
Anywho.... it would be a shame to discontinue but i also see why they would want to... they should limit production to keep it alive until they sort themselves out.
This is the last affordable high revving NA manual offering. The stangs went ecoshit + v8. Miata and toyobarus are a bit soft on the power side. Everything else is way more pricey without the same offering. Then again... real men are dying out these days and get upset there is no dual climate control and a little lcd screen saying "eco" because it really makes the driving experience knowing you can flip some gimmick switch to tighten up your already loose bowels.

Maybe its because I was the last man standing when I escaped California years ago, but I couldn't agree more with this post. Mad at my 2009 for slave clutch failure, I traded it for a 2010 Hemi Challenger. The barge, as I called it, handled like a pregnant cow on wheels. I was sick every time I saw a Z. In December 2015, I found a used 2015 Z and bought it. The 2009 fit me as if the designers had used my body as a template. Everything was perfect. I told the salesman I hadn't driven a stick in a year. He asked if I wanted a lesson. I said no. As soon as I engaged the clutch, I was all smiles. The original joy and excitement of the first one came back in an instant. I was 100% thankful that Nissan had changed nothing about this car. Say what you want, but it fit me perfectly and was what I always wanted. What sports car, 2 door, 2-seater, rear drive, 6-cylinder, can you find anywhere close to its price class? None.
