2+2?

I wonder for the z car enthusiasts with children if they will someday make a 2+2 version of the car. The problem I can see with that is the weight

Default 2+2?

I wonder for the z car enthusiasts with children if they will someday make a 2+2 version of the car. The problem I can see with that is the weight will increase and all of the dementions that were bragged about versus the 350 will be neligate

no, in my opinion it's the same as the V8 version: no 2seater and no V8. It wouldn't be a real Z. And in both case they should re-study and re-project

Thumbs down

I believe the 280 was a 2+2, that didn't sell!

Nissan won't make that mistake again.

I think that's why they have the G37. 4 seats, heavier, etc.

Yep. G37 is for the family man that loves a sports car... It's not a Z, but it's close. Worried about it that much? Get a family van and a Z!

get a G37 for 2+2, they won't make a 2+2 Z b/c it won't be a Z anymore

the G is not that much more b/c Nissan made the G and Z close in price.

There were several 2+2 Z cars. I believe there was a 280Z and there was a 280ZX version as well as both 300ZXs came in a 2+2 version. The only reason I think they won't go the 2+2 route is because the G37 definately covers that and I think they are trying hard to get back to the roots of the original 240Z which was an incredible price/performance two seater sports car.

2+2 was there to give the family man an "in" to get his sports car and still have room to pick the kids up from school, etc. The 280Z and 280ZX 2+2 were ugly (IMHO of course) because they extended the roof line. The Z31 was just ugly 2 seater or 2+2 - reminded me of the Mustang II - great line of cars with a hicup in the middle... they kinda saved the Z31 in '88 and '89 with the European style rounded bumpers which made it look less like a flying wedge. The Z32 2+2 had subtle details (gas cap placement IIRC) to differentiate between the 2 and 2+2 version but they were unnoticed by the casual observer. The Z32 was definately the best 2+2 of all the Zs.

Yeah the g does cover that route you are 100% correct. My mom had the 1985 300zx 2+2 and it was a blast.
