Yea, it's the new CAFE standard for fuel mileage. Nissan is going to produce high end bicycles to meet the standard.

I'm telling you, this is all about "gripes."

Nissan is ******* with us, everyone!

No, really, I hope so.

Is nissan really serious? Clips of a 240, and naming it gripZ???

Could this really be the end of the car we all love

Pretty sure the newer articles say "inspired by the 240Z" not "replacement for current Z" lol...cracks me up how many people are over reacting to this concept that nissan has not even officially said anything about as far as where it would fit in their line up.

A lot of folks are freaking out because it's inspired by the Z. I will put $100 down that this is not the Z successor. If it was im sure they would have had a more current Z in the promo doing sports car moves, rather than just rally cars and bicycles lol.

I don't think Nissan is that dumb as to make this concept the next Z… but what if ??

- If Nissan is just playing with our minds, they could be just making time before they show the new z35.

- If Nissan makes this the next Z, I think there will sufficient arguments for people to be mad at them. Because they will be killing the z heritage. Also it may well be the only affordable japanese sports car that's really worth it, all other japanese companies are boring.

Wether or not this may be the next Z it's a good bet, chances maybe the same as to flip of a coin.

Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of Nissan. I say that with a grain of salt. Why? Money. They could care less about "enthusiasts " with Z's. If it's not banking its scrapped. Don't blame them either.
