Nissan cuts models -- 370z might be one

danegrey · 08-05-2019, 08:16 AM

Just saw this in Autoweek

https://autoweek.com/article/car-new...ime-candidates

Short version

5. Nissan 370Z

The 370Z coupe and roadster are about a decade old at this point, and their sales aren't exactly keeping Nissan dealers afloat.
The 370Z was basically on its way out, but if the current financial climate at Nissan persists,
it will be difficult to create a replacement from scratch. This means the nameplate is likely to go on hiatus.

enjoy

Fanatics can keep their Z

Supra for those wanting a new driving JDM experience.

Or wait for mazda to drop their coupe?

the new Supra is BMW (big fail IMO), so if anything, it would be EDM.

From my understanding the tune is totally different on the suspension. Dunno bout the engine but its killing the Z4 on testing drag strips. It's a more aggressively tuned car for track at a lower price than bimmer but... haters gonna hate

Not at all... mergers almost never work. Mazda under Ford was a disaster.

Its funny people keep raving to porchr keeping the manual etc etc but who can afford a 75k+ car (lets be real 100k+++ for the ones that are a driving experience) yet nissan is able ti make a raw experience with lots of street use sub 50. Btw i paid out the door just over 50k CAD!!!

Yes an old model but to me if i look at the porches over the past 25 years aside from rear tail lights wtf changed?

Anywho.... it would be a shame to discontinue but i also see why they would want to... they should limit production to keep it alive until they sort themselves out.

This is the last affordable high revving NA manual offering. The stangs went ecoshit + v8. Miata and toyobarus are a bit soft on the power side. Everything else is way more pricey without the same offering. Then again... real men are dying out these days and get upset there is no dual climate control and a little lcd screen saying "eco" because it really makes the driving experience knowing you can flip some gimmick switch to tighten up your already loose bowels.

<< they should limit production to keep it alive until they sort themselves out. >>

John Q. Public has already done that for them. Time for Nissan to **** or get off the pot.

Maybe its because I was the last man standing when I escaped California years ago, but I couldn't agree more with this post. Mad at my 2009 for slave clutch failure, I traded it for a 2010 Hemi Challenger. The barge, as I called it, handled like a pregnant cow on wheels. I was sick every time I saw a Z. In December 2015, I found a used 2015 Z and bought it. The 2009 fit me as if the designers had used my body as a template. Everything was perfect. I told the salesman I hadn't driven a stick in a year. He asked if I wanted a lesson. I said no. As soon as I engaged the clutch, I was all smiles. The original joy and excitement of the first one came back in an instant. I was 100% thankful that Nissan had changed nothing about this car. Say what you want, but it fit me perfectly and was what I always wanted. What sports car, 2 door, 2-seater, rear drive, 6-cylinder, can you find anywhere close to its price class? None.

I wish Nissan would discontinue 370z already.

I'm shocked they didn't kill it three or four years ago.

Yep. I think it would’ve been nice to use the updated 15 Nismo as the “last hurray” and send it into sunset, instead of staying stagnant since then.
