Whats crazy is they sitting up there at Nissan and actually telling themselves "people are gonna love this"

Sway · 04-06-2019, 11:06 PM

I am appalled. Speechless. Several people need shot and fired.

Rusty · 04-06-2019, 11:13 PM

When they do this kind of stuff. They should ask the people who own the car on what they would like to see on it.

^ Very true. Instead, they produce this...

Right, is this just the leftover parts and pieces thrown together with a 50th decal and some misplaced hot wheels stripes? WTF.

Hot Wheels... That's what I think about those hideous new wheels they have now too. Nissan, what the heck are you thinking?

How can they possibly think those wheels look remotely decent?!

just end it

I’m starting to think that’s the whole idea. I can’t see them selling many of these. They have a built in excuse now.

Yeah, sales in 2019 are already running about 50% less on a yoy basis. Pinstripes and Hot Wheels paint gimmicks are't going to move the needle much.

You know, it's not even a matter that the 370Z is a 10 year old design. It's a matter that Nissan never did a single thing to it in terms of updates other than very slight cosmetics (addition of DRL and a Nismo face lift).

Nissan provided ZERO engine options, ZERO power output options, ZERO suspension options.

Hell, look at the Mustang, body-wise, it was virtually the same from 1979 to 1993 (14 years!). However, within those 14 years, there were noticeable updates to both the exterior and interior, fastback and notchback (coupe), there were multiple engine options (N/A inline 4, turbo inline 4, inline 6, 2.8L and 3.8L V6, carbureted and fuel injected 4.2L and 5.0L V8, supercharged 5.0L V8), a couple of different size and configurations of diffs (7.5" and 8.8"), several trim levels with improved performance (base, LX, LX 5.0, GT, SVO, SVT, Cobra and Cobra R). More importantly, over those years, horsepower numbers kept increasing.

At least with the Mustang over those 14 years, you had options, and you had REAL improvements.

What did we get from Nissan with the 370Z? ONE engine, TWO transmissions, an open diff or a crappy viscous LSD, and one Nismo tuned suspension. Oh, and a slightly different exhaust and tune for a whopping extra 18 hp for the Nismo package, which you don't even notice thanks to the added weight of said Nismo package.

Both the Heritage Edition and the 50th Z’s are an abomination
