Really? That's news to me, although, body styling aside, I know the current model isn't mechanically different from the last model.

Are there official specs for the actual Q60? That might reveal the most info about the next Z.

On a related note anyone seen this?

That sure reminds me of the Esflow concept.

That sure reminds me of the Esflow concept.

And... If Hyundai confirmed that 3.3 turbo? We definitely need that 3.0TT.

The only issue is hyundai need to worry about shaving weight

What is slightly irritating is they havent released anything. Not even a concept model. I thought they said last november it was to be revealed.

If its to be released in 2016 and we are only a couple months until 2015 im assuming at least a concept version should be out soon?

I'm expecting a concept to show up at the Tokyo show.

It would be nice. It would seem the smarter thing to do would be release something under the table but not bring attention it was there design for the Z just a concept and see what people think of it. Look at the new supra for instance its a stunning car but some people dont like the front bumper. But thats not a deterrent factor of buying....

But if the z came out and had a lot of ugly qualities or odd things it would be goood to get the attention now so you can alter design. They probably have less then a handful of desogn guys on this car it woukd be a good idea to not let them determine everything looks wise.

I saw the concept 350z sketches that were out there and then I saw the concept in person at the LA auto show right before it had its last final tweaks to the door handle. Front bumper. Headlights and rear bumper.

I dont remember a ton of people really liking the door handles so they made a change... uglier in my opinion but a change.

Imagine a smart car maker putting 4 sketches on here with a poll and did this on numerous forums and listened to the feedback from consumers... they would no doubt sell more.

Most of us know what looks good. Therr have been some masterpieces put together for 350z and 370z. Even with a couple mild modifications. .. like blacking the headlights housing the car looks better. How about a carbon diffuser setup like the one from carbon signal for the nismo. It looks better

Just my opinion but I believe feedback is what most intelligent companies do. My wife's fsmily owns a marketing firm where companies will send products and people test and give feedback. Car makers should do this and could use top gear guys or other intelligent car people.

They have shown this IDx concept and GTR but the Z is some mystical unicorn?

I think they just roll stuff out when its ready.

The new snazzy Nismo may secretly give some clues about design ideas they are toying with for the Z35... that was a lot of refreshing and fanfare for the last year of a very specific sub-model, especially since they just refreshed the Nismo a wee bit like a year ago...

I'd just keep watching Infiniti. They historically have debuted new tech, platforms and engines right before the Nissan variants are debuted.

By the time the "real" Q60 is ready to release, no one is going to care. Unless the Q50 is going to get a MAJOR refresh, that can almost pass as a redesign that same year?

Nissan need a hit aggressive design. Use a v6 turbo zmd keep the weight under 3000 pounds and they may have a winning combo

DOOMMONKEY777 · 10-05-2014, 03:55 PM

Guys have anybody heard about the new Honda civic spec R?(i believe that's the right name) it has 2.0L turbo from factory, and making 275 hp to a light weight body, that V-tech is gonna kick in better than ever trying to catch up to Z, mustang, and genesis.

What u guys think about that?

RWD for the win. THat civic will probably priced almost as high as a z or the new frs which will have better power and be just as lightweight but be rwd.
