We have all talked about the engine but what about the name? I keep hearing it will be called the Z35. I hate it. How do you all feel?

Don't know why it WON'T be called a Z35 as a model/mfg name. But I doubt that will be the advertised name

What I read implies that it will be called the Z35. They are not going to base it on engine size. That is my point.

I'd be OK if the public name was Z35. It would be a hard break from the "Engine displacement + Z" that has been going on since the car's inception, but the important letter is still there and that's all that matters. IMO, Nissan should just call it "Z" and drop the displacement, so they can have fun with the engine builds. I would rather that, then them do something silly, like call it a 390z because their turbo six pot puts out the same power as a NA 3.9L engine. The Germans are guilty of this and with the rumors of Mercedes building the power plant, I could see it happening.

I would rather it be called Nissan Fairlady Z, Nissan Z, or Nissan Z Coupe/Nissan Z Roadster.
No one needs engine displacement anymore.
