New 2016 model Z annouced to dealers
 

Was at a Nissan dealer to-day and he showed me an e-mail from Nissan Canada,that they just got yesterday, announcing a new model ,an Enthusist model starting production April 2015,proably for 2016 model year,starting at 29999.00.!!!Apparently it will be a stripped down version of the Z.Considering in Canada a base starting current price of $39999 currently,this will be an interesting direction for the Z car.Still nothing on The Nissan site yet though even though this has been rumored as coming soon for a couple years.

So a sucky new Z?

Local dealer received this. Sorry it's in french but basically it's a 370Z touring stripped down even more to be able to sell it for 30k. No thanks.

Well I prefer my cars with all options also,but as it stands today ,that means over 50K in Canada with taxes etc...The Z is packaged with not many options to not get certain features.I think a 30K to 35K 370Z may be a way to get more new owners,especially younger buyers with less annual income.Then you can add what you want as you can afford it and if your smart ,end up with a nicer car to your liking.Or just buy a used one loaded.

Cool, my schoolboy French translates "Glaces electriques avec ouverture/fermeture monotouch" as "fast glass" .....

Spare a thought for us poor buggers down-under where the list will be $A50K+ (at 0.8 per USD) .....

People need to be aware that the only Z model available in Canada for the last few years was the Touring model, with the Sport Package available as an option. It appears that this so-called stripped-down "enthusiast's" model is simply the U.S. Base model that is now being introduced into Canada.

This new base model should give brz or Frs for a run for lts money in terms of sales. Since they will be similar priced and 370z is heck a lot faster. I am so tired of seeing those brz/Frs all over the place.

Jeez, you Canucks are screwed worse that us "Down-Under" .. that sucks .. and I can see why Nissan Canada would do it because GT86/BRZ are breeding like flies in Oz, but they as as slow as a turtle that had too much tequila.

:iagree: with both of you 100% I hope to see more Z's even if they are base models. As mentioned in Canada we never had a "base" model like in the USA.

^this made me laugh :tup: but also agree in Canada we are getting short end of the stick in most situations.

With Nissan Canada there is only thing I can think of that was better to get here in Canada over the USA and that would be the 40th A.E. 370Z (but that's just because of the options Nissan Canada selected for our 40ths, they came fully loaded) :stirthepot: lol

buying anything else like non 40th - fully loaded Z34, Nismo or GTR they would all be better to get in the states price and options wise….

The base model Z doesn't seem to do it for the US crowd, however, in regards to the FRS/BRZ. Still see far more of those than the Z. I like the exclusivity but not if it hurts the brand to the point where they stop coming out with new Zs and put a halt on Nissan's affordable sports car efforts.

It looks like the 2016 model is going to be the same body/engine as the 2015. Good price for sure. I wonder what dealer cost would be.

:/

i liked how the Z is more rare than a porche/m3/m5 in toronto... i've seen more R8's over the winter than 370's... (although a few 350's there) heck even more m4's out and about.

that said it'll be nice to see more on the road... to a certain degree. atleast it's not a mustang

:iagree: the same happen here in PR i see more BMW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz than the 370z hahahaa!!! i like my car more for that reason :p

It's power windows.

From what i'm seeing it comes with cloth seats, no synchro rev match, basic radio, it says it has VDC but no mention of LSD.

They list it as 29,998 MSRP but i'm willing to bet they will be selling them for 32-33k, we always get the shaft.

Rumors are that the 2016 sees may have a twin turbo any news on that.

Probably not. I don't think nissan will drop in any different engine into the current z34 chassis. And the 2016 model z will still be using the z34 chassis.

I read it as electric windows (power windows) with one touch up and down.

Make sure you are comparing the A$ to a $CDN. The post regards a Canadian model that appears to be simply a US base model that has not been offered here previously. I think the price is in $CDN. I don't have to look to see our dollar is $0.8 to the $US as well. I would think an Aussie price would be about $30K too, unless you guys have some import tariffs that rape you worse than ours do us......which I can't imagine.

That Zs aren't all over the place makes them worth all that much more to me.
On a nice day I might see one for every fifteen of those Brz/Frs things.
I'm starting to see the odd one modded out which is nice, though.

My mistake...I was just talking to a bud of mine that resides in your Capital Region. He was telling me all your pricing is 'All In'. That pumps up the price to something that looks outrageous for the same car, but we get all the same crap piled on top of the price that was shown here. Likely works out about the same in both countries, even with your dollar a bit stronger than ours right now against the $USD.

The LSD is mandatory in Canada. Every Canadian Z has it.
