No news for next Z yet .. ??

R E L A X... when it happens it will be worth it. By the way I had a 2011 nismo...and my 2015 has way better tech and interior...the nismo now seems worth it, but still waiting on 400 hp.

Yes.... every single one. Nissan only adds body bracing and coils to a Nismo with a more aggressive tune & exhaust. Then the body kit. But there are NO changes to the physical power plant.

Yup. Unbolt it, back over it, and install an aftermarket one that actually works.

How about the styling ... Infiniti has been great lately but Nissan? That vmotion grill is hideous, they are obsessed with the rear 3/4 window frame-less look, outlandish headlight/taillights, and crazy body lines everywhere.

I'm petrified they're going to ruin what has been such a good looking car in both 350 and 370 iterations.

Although I'm looking forward to a newer model, I seriously hope they don't do something incredibly stupid like changing the Z in to a cross over or hybrid. I saw a few concept drawings awhile ago that were just awful.

For me, I'm still madly in love with my 09 Touring. I purchased it brand new and it only has 17,000 miles on it today. Shortly after purchase I got married, bought a house, had a baby and sent my step son to college, so the Z became my garage queen. Now all these years later I finally have the time and money to spend on her and I really have no desire to replace her. Yes, the stereo is sub par (the premium stereo in my 2012 Civic EX-L is 10x better then the Bose in the Z.... sad) and for some the headlights are somewhat outlandish, but I think she is so damn sexy. I still turn heads everywhere I go. If she was my daily driver, I would agree with what most are saying here, but as a weekend or road trip car, I still lover her to death.

It seems alarming to me people just want to have little to zero driving involvement anymore, and I rarely see more than one person in these suv/cuv things. They're ultra annoying because you cannot see around them, and for some reason unknown to me: Honda CRV drivers believe that they have carbon ceramic F1 style braking ability/love to tailgate, and drive aggressively in unsafe areas, yet, the same people when on an open country road all of a sudden a switch flips in their brain and they're now petrified of going around turns and force you into a 40-60mph up/down in the speed instead of being able to relax with the cruise control on. Then they wonder why they go through brakes more often and people try to then pass them in unsafe areas after patience has worn thin. It's just a lazy purchase decision in my mind.

I can fit firewood n beer just fine in my car, and only having 2 seats has gotten me out of having to cart people around If I need to move anything, I just pay movers, they can do it better and it's not that much more money. So to me, owning a Z works just fine, so lets pray the next one isn't some watered down bs because Nissan and most giant corporations want to scale out production and the nitch buyer has to resort to more expensive brands.

A few months ago I thought about trading the Z in. My wife has always wanted a convertible, so I was using that excuse to make a purchase. I considered the Audi TT, the Porsche Boxter and a Corvette. I decided against the TT because it lacks horsepower and wasn't as fun to drive. Owing a Porsche has always been a dream, but unless it was the GTS, the performance wasn't any better. The insurance and the maintenance cost for the Porsche was also sky high. The Vett is great, but it's pretty common and was more then I wanted to spend. I honestly couldn't come up with something that was affordable and that excited me. Since then I have been using my extra cash to mod my Z. I don't see any trade-in any time in the near future for me. I'm madly in love with the GTR, but I would need to sell a few organs, one of my neighbor'd kids and rob a bank to be able to afford it.
