Nissan To Preview New Z Sports Car With Tokyo Motor Show Concept: Report

Looks like we will see the next gen Z next year instead of a year later than expected. Nissan is way more prepared than they let on, as usual. Can't wait for the Tokyo auto show.

Smaller? Less Cylinders? Electric?!

...Pass.

Awesome. Can hardly wait.

I'm in if they get it right. Electric motors have all of their torque available from 0 rpm. Smaller probably means lighter as well. A turbo four could be interesting, especially if it's under 3000 lbs. I don't get how people can say no to something we know nothing concrete about.

Any new Z is better than no new Z. The brand must live on. There is nothing wrong with owning one of the classics! I'm proud of my Z34 and will probably be buried in it. Ten years from now, it will be neat to show up to meets in a well-maintained 15 year-old car.

Glad I have a daily driver to keep the miles down!

Very true. If they don't get the sales up, they'll kill the Z. It wouldn't be the first time. At the rate I buy new cars, I'll be looking again sometime in 2021. I still need the daily driver, but it's too much fun to drive the Z every day.

Chuck, I'm with you. While mine doesn't have all the cool stuff yours does, I still enjoy driving it on a daily basis. I can't see owning a car and leaving it in the garage, only to be driven on the weekends when the sun is out.

I wouldn't mind a daily driver for rainy days and running errands where I need to buy more than two loaves of bread, though. I might need to pick up a $1500 Craigslist beater truck and $49/mo liability only insurance.

I hope it's really awesome

It could cost $1000, weigh 1000 lbs, make 1000hp and have an attachment to fondle your balls while you drive and someone here would still bitch about it.

though

An electric version of a Z vs one model that's electric are two different things..... I choose to look at the positives like 2900lb chassis and possible FI FOR NOW... That sounds good to me.

Not enough info out there on performance to start complaining so early. I just want to see what Nissan is going to offer first before I start complaining about rumors and currently non existent tech.

I thought the show was this year in November?

This s the only forum I know that worships other brands for minor attributes and complains on it's own for the most trivial things.

The Z for most in this forum is a vanity purchase though. That's why our forum is structured with this type of nitpicking and ridiculousness. We have the cake and eat it too crowd.

Oh that explains it! I wondered why it was so important to me that my Z color matched my Coach purse.
