Buy 2010 or wait for 2011?

resdm50 · 12-13-2009, 08:24 PM

I'm on the verge of buying a 2010 370z, but it recently came to my attention that the 2011 370's will be getting direct injection and a 20-30 hp bump. I'm wondering, would it be wise to just wait for the 2011 or should I just get the 2010 now. Also, can anyone confirm that the 2011 will indeed be getting the aforementioned upgrades?

Thanks

No news has hit about the 2011 Z yet, I would say buy and enjoy now. If you need more power there are plenty of aftermarket parts now which will fit your need.

Hybrid? Not the Z, that would kill the image of the Z.

The Infiniti m v6 didn't get di so most likely z won't get if for 2011. I'm not sure you really want di if you plan to mod your engine.

I read an article on Jalopnik that they might be thinking of doing this with the GT-R after they are done with the R35. Now it is still early as to what Nissan plans to do with both lines, but I do agree one or the other is going to be turned into hybrid(ish) sports car.

I'll assume you have financial data to back your claim that Nissan "makes little money on the Z car". Looking forward to your link.

Your car isn't even 2 years old yet and it's getting the boot? I would say hold on to your current car as long as possible. You can buy one of the first 400Zs.

EVEN Carlos Ghosn (CEO Nissan corp) has NO idea what's going to be the changes in 2011 370z model! I'm surprised that you know more than him!

Just buy the car now and enjoy it. You won't be seeing any changes until 2012 and new model in 2015 (this is just me following the trend of 350z).

wow we're already discussing a 2011 hybrid redo? OP read around the board it's not that difficult to get an extra 20-30hp.
