BUT, that said... here's some related news.
Nissan lost 6.3% sales margin so they're cutting production by 20% in the U.S.A.

This goes back to a statement I've made on and off... When Nissan doesn't give the affordable halo some attention, they will lose their market share. Halos are so important because they give that family sedan purchaser something to look forward to.

Toyota, is losing its boring rep because the supra is coming. Meanwhile Nissan cut off the sport driving turbo juke for a boring kicks. Still no Z news and companies that are paying attention to mid pack sports cars are growing.

Heritage is everything. Enthusiasts make up 10% of all sales. But we are 100% the reason why people on the road consider a Nissan in the first place. It's when they are next to us at the red light that they think or say. Wow. Nissan is doing big things.

You can't get that reaction in a 10 year old car. What people are saying now is. Those are nice. Can't wait to see what the next one will be like? When Nissan doesn't produce. People lose interest.

You might be right. Watch them keep redoing the same 370Z until it just slowly dies. I for one have no issues with that as I just got mine not but a month ago brand new so I am hoping to enjoy it for years to come. As long as Nissan honors the warranty we are all good .

Reverse camera with display in the mirror plus $200 on msrp on every model but base.

Nissan added the Heritage edition for 2019 for $1000 over base price. Available in Yellow and Blue

Freight and PDI up $200 on all models.

Delete Brilliant Silver color option.

2019 nismo delete power seat and heated seat.

Sometimes I think Nissan is going out of its way to lose their long-time customers. Besides my 350Z, I've owned a Pathfinder, and I'm on my 3rd Xterra. Their current Pathfinder is bloated with stuff that I don't need and costs $14K more than what I paid for mine, and I'd never buy it. They killed the Xterra, so when my current one bites the dust, Nissan has lost me as an SUV customer. And if they don't produce a decent Z35, they'll lose me as a sports car customer. There's a huge disconnect between the company and its customers.

Thats what happens when penny pinching, bean counters run an automotive company. They have no ambition or desire to please enthusiasts and car aficionados. Thank God for choices.

I have seen some 2018 and 2019 Heritage addition 370Z’s out there they look very sharp in my opinion. I understand now why Nissan is producing the Heritage model of the 370Z. From what I was told by a Nissan rep they were saying the Heritage addition model of the Nissan 370Z will be a collectors item in the future since the 370Z model will be ending soon as of 2020. Also Heritage addition 370Z will be very limited production and only available yellow,blue,and black as far as I know.

jchammond · 05-31-2018, 07:20 AM

Seeing how this is the 2nd year offering the Heritage edition; Either a brand new platform will arrive for 2020...or the Z gets deleted.
Probably a 50th Anniversary.

Well said.... It seems Nissan is so obsessed with autonomy and EV future. They aren't caring about today's customer base. Success may not happen in that market for at least a decade. If they can't produce for today's customers? They may end up having Mitsubishi level market share, needing bailouts from Renault and Benz... smh

Am I the only one who finds it annoying that if I want to get flipping Bluetooth in a 2019 sport model then I have to give up an LSD and Synchro-Rev-Match? WTH isn't BT standard? What year model is this again?

So do you now have to get the sport tech to get Bluetooth?

Sport Tech no longer exists. You now have to get Sport Touring to get BT which is packaged with Nav (and the leather seats) but that means you don't get an LSD or SRM.

Wait... you don’t get LSD or SRM on Tourings? I believe you used to back then.

2012 canadian model. I have sport touring but no nav

Have the srm, lsd and old style rays. Not a fan of the new ones...

analogman · 06-08-2018, 10:39 AM

KCZ, thank you for pointing out the lack of LSD or SRM on the 2019 Sport touring. I've been shopping back and forth between a 2018 and ordering a 2019 (which, unfortunately, I think will be the last of the 370Z's). I didn't look closely enough at the website to notice that going from 'Sport' to 'Sport Touring' climates LSD and SRM. Shame on Nissan (and on me for not reading closely enough). Makes the decision easier (and cheaper) for a 2018.

Bubbaloo · 06-08-2018, 11:33 AM

Wow. I can not believe they did that. Here I was hitting myself in the head because I thought I could have gotten leather seats /cold/hot for the same price I got my sport tech but if they eliminated LSD/SRM then they just shot themselves in the foot.
