Hello, everyone!

I've been lurking this forum for the last year or so without posting a single thing, so I thought I'd at least fulfill my civic duty and share a few pictures that I have taken at a local dealership...

**Please forgive me, my post is a bit picture heavy. **






^


^ It's true...no special serial number plate.


^ Addition of a fender lip (if that's what it's called) is a nice touch.


^ Stickers.

Other than those and the lack of the large Nismo rear wing, I like the car. I even went to the extent of calling Nissan USA and requesting to special order a 2015 Nismo with the 09-14 spoiler, but the guy who I spoke with stated that there is nothing that they could do. He went further to say that I could always " go aftermarket", but it may "possibly void the warranty". In my opinion, I don't like how Nissan went with a smaller rear wing. The duckbill spoiler doesn't compliment the aggressiveness of the new front fascia. And maybe I'm the only one, but I never had any issues with the large Nismo wing in the way while driving/backing-up.

Now regarding the Recaro seats...I'm 5'6, 150lbs and the seats felt a little too snug on my body. Then again, that's probably because I'm not used to sitting on Recaros.

^You'll have to create a thread when the GTR Nismo arrives! :drools:

I feel like they changed the design of the Nismo Z to match the other nismo cars, someone at corporate was like "hey why does that nismo z not match the sentra and the juke, change it". Still an awesome car but i wouldn't want to upgrade to it. I like my 09 #0111

I like the new spoiler. I've never been a fan of "bleacher seat" spoilers.

I only wish the new spoiler was integrated, instead of a glued on thing. However I realize Nissan did that, because they didn't want to create an all new mold for the trunk.

Such a weak, soft look to it. Not very aggressive IMO

One could say that it has a more mature and refined look to it.

really? I would have to say the complete opposite. In my opinion, the latest nismo looks like the hired 2 seventeen year olds to play need for speed all day, then asked them to design a new body kit for the Z34....

To each their own. I feel that the 2014 and earlier Nismo design is far closer to the Need for Speed / Fast and Furious stereotype than the 2015. Not so say that's a bad look by any means. To me, the earlier Nismo feels more aggressive and in-your-face, while the new one is more subtle and refined. I think they're both amazing looking cars in their own way, and it really just comes down to what your personal style is.

front fender arche lips look lame, initially I thought they were there for a reason but after those close up shots I noticed the front arch lips dont even go all the way down the fender to prevent dirt and debri going up the door sides. Reminds of those cheap plastic trims old folk ( Im no spring chicken) put around their door edges.

I much like the rear spoiler and front bumper. Thats about it. All in all a good refresh. Not too keen on the flat sunken in wheels though.

Best one item is the front bumper followed by the dark headlights.

It's very sad indeed they removed the numbered! Everyone can have a Nismo, but not everyone is gonna appreciate what it is!

I imagine the price dropping faster on these cars!?!

Not really. Some dealers are offering an "Internet Price" that's a few hundred dollars less than MSRP, but on the whole the new NISMO is selling fast at sticker price. I've tried four dealer exchanges: all failed because the car was sold before it could happen, or the dealer refused because they were confident of getting a better deal locally.

There's too few of the cars right now, so supply and demand is at work. If Nissan increases the amount of cars available in the US, then maybe it will oversaturate and cause a price reduction, but until then it's a hot commodity due to scarcity.

We'll see if Nissan wants to play the scarcity plan, or intends to eventually oversaturate soon enough...

^^^

understood I'm just going off the norm of deprecation of previous models...

All nismo stickered at 40 plus on debut, then a year later down 8-10k

Because as we seen Nissan is in the business of selling cars to people not ethusiast !
