Seen the commercials, seen the renderings. Not jumping at it like I did for the 370. 400Hp is a step down for me, twin turbos =517 RWHP. I’ll need to really see it. Putting aside some money but this 400Z has yto be better than my very reliable daily driver; summer and winer.

Amazing how differing view points are on this subject. I have the exact opposite feelings.

Just never liked the idea of breaking up the body lines with the silver handles. 2 Z’z owned and both times swapped them out for color matched.

Anyone else getting BRZ from the front of the orange render?

I get it. But at the same time it was something that made it stand apart from most other cars. Not just the silver, but the outward boldness of it. Some really cool cars hide the handles, which is great too. With the 350 and 370 Nissan did the opposite. Design some cool handles and say "look at me." I liked it.

My father ran a Datsun/Nissan dealership for 20 yrs. I still have connections. Was told awhile ago the new Z was an updated Z34 chassis.

+1. Cool.

At the same time with modern forums like this, that really doesn't mean much for real truth anymore. When my wife was getting her Pontiac Solstice, because of the forum, I knew more than anyone at any dealers. But enough on that. Let's just agree to disagree about the looks. Cheers.

We kinda knew the “z35” would be really a “z34.5” since nissan obviously cannot afford to design a new platform from scratch

We’re all waiting to see how far of an evolution from the z34 it turns out to be

The z34 was a shortened, widened, lightened z33

Really just give me a drive train to steal

The true ground-up Z will be the electric Z around 2026. This new 400Z will be the last gasoline powered Z.

will nissan be in business in 2026 or bought by toyota?

Source for this electric Z or is this just unfounded speculation?

Also in regards to the looks, it's simple and elegant, instead of overstyled like so many other vehicles these days. Designers create a "striking" look which grabs attention and, if done right, possibly looks good and modern for a few years, then they drop off a cliff and age terribly. There's a reason Porsche's look good for years and years after they are replaced.

Also, are we really saying we wish Nissan just refreshed the boomerang lights as opposed to what they're giving us?
