Of cos the 370z is "=" old technology.....
It has a 4-stroke gasoline engine, which has been exist for 80+ years. Change direction through a steering column.... a day 1 technology since automobile is invented. Use wheels/tires to transfer the kinetic energy into motion... this is also since day 1... Use friction to stop the vehicle..... that's old school method too.... Change gear manually, well, we choose to do that..... Look.. they even have roadster at that time: so... what's wrong with our Z??? We like our Z, so we drive one regardless.... |

Sure, there are cars out there with more modern tech. No doubt about that. It depends on what you really want. I'm not sure why the OP even brought this up. It's not like Nissan claimed DI for this car and then people found out they were scammed after buying it. Buy the car that fits your own needs/interests/budget. I do think Nissan failed some with allowing their bean counters to be too involved with product development (no oil cooler in '09-'11 models for example) but hey, the majority of drivers don't push the car enough to require it anyway so why make everyone pay for this feature. Allow people to upgrade on their own. The fuel economy could (and should) be better for this car but if you can't afford the gas this isn't the right car anyway.
I own an aircraft that was built in 1951 and the technology (other than electronics) hasn't changed a whole lot in 61 years. Even in modern airplanes I still have to adjust the fuel mixture manually to compenstate for power setting and altitude. Nothing seems to evolve as quickly as sportbikes when it comes to technology. The '09 I have is totally outdated by the super fast ZX123456 model. Oh well... |
