2010 370Z Changes?
 

Does anyone have an official word on what changes, if any, will be made for the 2010 370z?

Yes. There will only be 10000 or so made instead of the 30000 or so 2009's, or so I heard lol.

Only 10,000. Maybe they can scrape together enough coins to add coolers to the reduced production.

Seriously, though, '09 models has been selling for 4 months. I barely got mine last weekend. Official '10 news will kill the '09 sales when it's barely out for 4 months.

Anyhow, if there are official news, you can't miss it. We're owners, not speculators.

I'm not speculating anything... I bought my '03 without any regrets, and I don't regret my '09.

I think they left out the rear view camera w/ the nav package on purpose just so they can add it on for the 2010 model.

How many times is this question going to be asked?

They are cutting this years numbers back from 30K to 10K.

The price will be higher because of reduction in production.

I thought this whole 30 to 10 production cycle was debunked. Also I thought this was rumoured to be the sales of the 370Z for th '09 model.

'09 model is the same as '10 model. You probably will not have much choices at the dealers.

I thought I read earlier from this forum that it was getting cut from 30k to 20k.

No idea, and they would not reduce any potential '09 sales by releasing info this early. But remember, 2010 is the 40th anniversary of the Z ;)

My guess is there will be more options to push the price tag higher along with minor fixes/ changes following a redesign of the car.

I really don't see any major changes until 2012.

Yes. With these small changes in future, base price will go up. Same thing happen with 350Z.

If there are any engine changes in the the future, do you usually know ahead of time or just find out when it's released?

Don't forget curb weight might increase as well... I miss the times when people said the '03 Zs were the lightest :-)

Engine changes usually see rumors leak out a few months early and press releases will confirm or debunk them a couple months before the model is rolled out, usually during some quarter report for investors to see whats coming/happening in the near future to justify them keeping their money with Nissan. You probably won't see anything involving the 2010 coupe floating around until the vert and nismo have been out for a few months

Ive been told by a dealer that theyre probably going to just carry this years model over next year because of the production cuts...

I'm curious what were the changes made between the 03 and 04 Z's (if there were any made)? Were their at least minor changes?

Between '03 and '04? Attempts to fix tire feathering and transmission grinding...

it seems nissan won't make any changes.

A dealer told me they're not allowed to do that. The VIN should properly reveal which year they are made.

you guys can wikipedia the z33. shows you the timeline and the changes between the year and models. maybe that will be a glimpse of what is to come.

anything new at this point?

1st to 2nd year? Most time's there arent any changes other than maybe software or defect fixes etc.. Midlife or model ending years are where most of the performance or cosmetic upgrades turn up.

In my dream world the 2010 model will come with an oil cooler fitted as standard :rolleyes:

i'd like to see the oil cooler fitted on standard as well... it be proof that it is defective and that they need to recall the 09's to outfit them with it
