The Z is heading toward novelty car. I remember my 09 Z felt so visceral. My 11 was visceral but slightly muted, the 13 went deeper into the GT world. The Z gets softer instead of more aggressive but key disturbances in the car haven't been fixed. I think my Z is awesome In spite of, but reality is, Nissan has created a formula for failure when updating this car. Things that should've been looked into. Not necessarily in this order. 1. Direct injection 2. Weight reduction but to add some insulation around the wheels 3. Better tires 4. Adjusting the suspension for slightly improved stock cornering. 5. Exhaust tuning 6. CSC failures 7.a better interior update 8. Throttle response improvements The Z never needed a external refresh till about now since they went so long. But improved radio, soft touch upper doors, better quality plastics on the console and door controls have been much needed. Nissan totally missed the bus in updating this car. Though we buy it for a different reason, the right changes would've attracted more new buyers. There would have to be a cease in RWD car production for the Z value to maintain. Demand is low for a Z. I just don't see it. We lucky it was holding value pretty strong till 2013. Now, there's a lot of good Z deals. From my vantage point. We're seriously headed toward novelty car.

They got their heads up their a$$ right now. Because they don't know which direction they want to go with the next Z. There's no leadership (motorheads) in the company. Just look at the LeMans car.
