That’s some good thoughts. I hope you’re right on pricing and I agree about the Q60 stuff. If they took away the manual that would be a deal breaker for me as well. Hope they don’t.

Look at this article from September coming from Nissan employee alluding to the possibility that they are tasked with the next Z project. Seems like it’s happening...

I'm with analogman for the most part. All the "next Z" stuff seems purely speculation w/o any real evidence behind it (not counting this recent SEMA VR30 swap).

If they make another Z, I'd guess base will be mid to high 30s at least, possibly into the 40s. Judging from the current pricing scheme, I'd say Nissan will have to rethink if they want to sell and be competitive w/ cars in the same market (camaro, mustang, genesis, etc.). I personally think the Z is a great car as is w/ significant performance, delivered in a classic package, that is decidedly Japanese.

But, the competition has gone up like crazy and 300ish hp doesn't mean anything to anyone. They're gonna need the next Z to be a beast at a reasonable price, and I don't have a whole lot of faith in that unfortunately. And to add to that, Ghosn just got fired for his shady stuff. We shall see.

TLDR: new Z will probably be pricey or dead IMO

Ghosn was trying to drown the Z program. That's why the board got rid of him. Nissan will announce a $40K 500hp Z35 any day now

With Ghosn out, this is probably the path that Nissan/Renault/Mitsubishi take, no new 'halo' or Z until after 2020...


Then they will call it something inane like 'Z Cross', like they did with the Eclipse Cross.....

Overthinking it as always. Keep the GTR as halo car, regardless of sales. Amortize development by using the same base engine in the Z but keep it NA (maybe turdbos for V-Spec or Nismo or whatever) in RWD 2 seater platform.

The NicoClub article was a very good read, and I can understand why a wholesale overhaul of the Z is probably not the best thing financially for Nissan. But could Nissan get the ClubSport into production as an "interim" model (aka Z34.5)? I'd reluctantly agree to the statements that our Z's are dated, but I'd love to transition to that direct injected VR30DDTT - it's a wonderful mill. But with a manual - OMG.

I know... keep wishing...

Yep If at all. They pulled the plug once and and more than one car model with decades of produciton have gone the way of the Dodo.


" a new Z is clearly long overdue.According to our sources within Nissan, there’s a small problem: It’s not happening."

Probably a lot of truth in that statement.

That article read too much like a young teenager jealous that other websites are making more money than them. Too much complaining and whining.
