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

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

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.

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! |

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. |
