IDx combined with the Z as the future of the Z?

I do not know what to believe after so many conversations like this one. I guess I'll have to wait until the unveiling.

my thoughts exactly, mr. tam...

I remember when we though the Z35 would be unveiled at the tokyo auto show last year. and based on the article it still doesn't look like the Z35 is finalized. It make take a few more years, sadly.

Sounds like the return of a backseat.

Sounds like nissan has no idea what it's going to do with the next Z. They want the entry level sports car, the Z sports car and the supercar in their lineup. It's actually smarter if the idX is the lowest tier in the Z setup and the Z is the highest, kind of like how their is a impreza then wrx then STi. But if the idX and Z are 2 different platforms and if the next Z doesn't do well its definitely getting the axe lol.

btw lot of 'interesting' comments in the jalopnik article

same here!!!!

when they come out with something better than the 370z i think im going to change my Z... But for now.... thats not going to happen...

I hope if they someday make the Z35... they make them look like the S30Z

Zoren 370 · 10-08-2014, 07:20 AM

I'll bet this is the last V6 we will have they will go for the 4 banger just to make it affordable and within price range of teenagers or newly grads.

I even doubt it now that they will come up with a turbo charged engine from Benz!
Nissan will go after the BRZ/scion hype!

Im good with that....that will make the Z34 an icon of a sports car! Cross fingers.

bro!!! but im not too happy with that turbo charged engine from Mercedes Benz.... I think that Nissan have build some good turbocharged engines... i think they are very capable to build a great engine turbocharged engine for the IDX/Z with out the help of other brand.... if someone differ from this... just think in the GT-R... this are just my 2cents...

We had the revised Nismo for 2015. Maybe we'll get a Nismo RC for 2016 (same platform as now), then the new Z/IDx platform for 2017?

They're done with the Z , article mentions something like this will take years to finalize to production. They don't even have a straight direction yet.

You seem to only be here to try and piss people off.

I've heard more than one person around here say in 2017 we will get a forced induction Nismo RC. Which would mean the Z35 would be a 2018 model.
