It's like the 90's all over again.

And I'll pass on the hybrid. I'll take a turbo Z if its gas! This will be left for Euro markets.

A lame rendering...

I wouldn't mind Nissan halting the 370z for a couple years... I'll be able to pay of the 09 i just bought (while still owining the most up to date version), and be ready for trade in when Nissan Re-Releases the Z :)

:facepalm:, I gotta feeling its going to be 1997 all over again in 13/14 for the Z with the current sales figures.

I think this is a slight refresh on an old rumor. I haven't seen that rendering before.

I'm down with a hybrid if it looks like that and has the theorized hp/tq specs.

Yes please may I have another..

:iagree:

I don't care if it's a hybrid as long as the performance and looks are still there. I don't like the looks of the rendering in the article, it looks like a 370Z Nismo, G37, and Leaf had a baby together.

I've also read somewhere that the next gen GT-R R36 could be a 600 hp hybrid. It is the car I would like to get after my Z and I wouldn't mind the hybrid as long as it had better performance than the non-hybrid.

Randomly came across this today...although the site lists it as a '2010 Z'. Probably a super old guestimate rendition obviously based on the 350Z. Aside from the IS-F pipes, that's one f'ugly a$$.

I keep hearing how the numbers for the Z are bad and how they might not continue it, etc. I've also have seen threads where the numbers are good overall for the Z so if that is the case; then why would they consider canceling out a classic sports car?

Does everyone believe that the car will be discontinued and do you think this is just the Z or sports cars in general; thus maybe we might be seeing the Camaro and Mustang falling by the waist side?

This is from Wiki....take it with a grain of salt, but if these numbers hold true, thats not good signs of a car that will stay around long:(

Calendar Year U.S. Sales
2009 13,117
2010 10,215


And for the previous Poster about the Camaro sales:
Year Sales
2009 61,648
2010 81,299


Then again the Z is meant for a smaller part of the market, vs some jock wanting pure Hp. I think Nissan does a good job in its particular area!

Including the sales of the 350Z, just to get an idea of the market over the last decade:


2002 13,253
2003 36,728
2004 30,690
2005 27,278
2006 24,635
2007 18,957
2008 10,337
2009 13,117
2010 10,215



I expect 2011 sales to be <10,000

I like that look, sort of looks like an Aston
Hope they stick with a gas engine

looks cool...

The designer of the 370z stated at Zcon last year that Nissan is already working on and designing the next generation Z.

The Z is definitely not dead, and yes, it will be a new vehicle. I'm betting on hybrid, myself, especially given Nissan's current leanings toward battery tech.
