When is the next body style Z due? This model looks dated and needs refreshed badly.

911 is a different breed. The 993 looks great and is an air cooled classic. The 996 is kind of bland and not very popular. The 997 looks better. And 2012 introduces a new Carrera. The car has 40+ years of history so it's an icon.

As for a Ferrari sure - I would rather been seen in a 370Z then a 308. But I'll drive a 70's daytona or even the F430. It depends on the model.

I would like to see Nissan review all of the common gripes about the Z and fix them. Why not? Even if it breaks even or has no profit. It's about image and it gets people into the dealer so they can drive home that shiny new minivan with the kids.

Personally, I'll pay 50K for a Z. But I want a Twin Turbo 450 hp car with DSG. (Or what ever Nissan calls that type of transmission.)

Oh what the hell, I'm gonna say it... Get a Nismo, they are better cars

NO car gets refeshed that fast that I know of. Someone wants changes, fine, but to expect requests like already changing the coolest door handles on any car sub $50,000 is..... um......

Troll or not, this thread was started maliciously, or at the very least wrong, and as it is, it's a waste of time. I'm going back to the awesome lights thread.

Actually, the lights were the first thing that immediately grabbed me and made me fall in love with this car. Then it was everything else.

The car was introduced in 2009 so lets do the math.
2009 Yr 1
2010 Yr 2
2011 Yr 3
2012 Yr 4 <--- Most companies refresh after 3-4 years.

And BTW - Almost all forums are an entire waste of time.

Welcome to the 370Z!

All the talk of a hybrid that never happened.

All Nissan seems to add is an cabin filter and some new colors.

I like the car! But it's really showing it's age.

When is a new refreshed car due?

I think that you are too fickle. With only three model years, with poor sales in a poor economy, for Nissan to dump money into a new car seems foolish. The twin turbo model seems more likely than a major body change. The 240/260/280 Z's lasted 8 years, with the 280ZX 4-5 years. Then 5 years of the 300 plus six more with the 300 ZX Z32. Six years of 350Z's. With that said expect 5-6 370 Z model years before a major body change.

I loved my 280Z and hated the added weight and lowered power of the 280ZX. I just hope that their is no 370ZX.

If I missed or added a year of production I apologize.

Hi,
You should send your concerns to Nissan usa. I'm sure they'll listen to your concern and get to redesigning the Z right away! Here's their email address:
