It seems to me either the guy tagging it screwed up, or they still really haven't made up their mind 100% yet.

It doesn't matter to me either way, but this is the first I've seen (and I think anyone here has seen) with the car actually tagged with something other than Nissan and/or Z. So its worth mentioning even if you don't want to discuss it.

Edit: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall the car having such tagging during the unveiling, so I see this as new.

the nameplate on the one here is there because they only made 1 proto. that is it and its barely holding together lol

its had that tag since the reveal last year. this is not new.

My bad then. I simply don't recall seeing that during the reveal. Old age I guess.

semi related note insider in a GTR group said there will be no R36 now even despite current R36 hybrid testing.

No r36 means your black edition will be an instant classic.

Going off topic for a minute on the GTR side of things, with all the supply chain issues (chip shortage, manufacturing, etc), is Nissan allowing dealerships to put in an order for a GTR with specific color & options? Not sure you know but was looking at the US inventory and it is basically a few blacks, one red, a silver, and one pearl white.

good question that i dont have the answer to sadly.

i mainly have been checking the auction to see where the prices are. everything is still high but slightly dropping.

except for C8 vettes. my dad sent me a screen shot today a 2lt nothing too fancy C8 didnt get sold even with a bid for $120k. dealer wanted 130 and thats actually what they've been getting for them.

my pops wants one but not over sticker. he said he's just going to put an order on a 2022 here soon.

Just to add my 2 cents to the naming confusion,
a while back a person who supposedly knows some insider info (and also correctly predicted the 9AT, amongst other things) said that in USA the car will simply be called "Nissan Z". The test mules that were delivered to Arizona for testing had their badges taped over, but in one shot it can be clearly seen that under the tape is a very large "Z" emblem on the rear light panel on the passenger side, and it is obviously just a "Z" and doesn't have a 300 or 400 or Fairlady anywhere near it.. The hatch lid did not have any emblems like the proto's "Fairlday Z", it is totally devoid of emblems in that area.

Check out the piece about the Z in today's Jalopnik.

WAY over the average replies to a topic on this site.
The Z is dead?
Not by the responses given.

If someone here has time, can you post a link to the newer 400Z forum where all this discussion is going and will eventually all be? I know I'm being lazy but I just need a simple way to find it right now for light evening reading. Thanks.

Wonder what they are going to do with their website name when they realize "400Z" isn't the name of the new Z....

Unfortunately I think the same thing is also going to come up with people talking about the car. Like....

"What kind of car you have?"

"I've got a Nissan Z!"

"Cool, which one?"

"............?"

Mazda may have gone MX-5, but people still say Miata.

Led Zeppelin's 4th album is called Led Zeppelin. But nearly everyone calls it Zeppelin IV.

In other words, I think a lot of people will refer to it as the 400 Z whether Nissan calls it that or not.

I'll just call it whatever it's name is. If it's just "Z", I may refer to it as "300Z Twin Turbo".

I will always reject "400Z" (unless Nissan actually calls it this) as it has no place in the traditional naming definition of every single Z ever made.

At least half the time I just say Z already when I refer to the 370, and you can always say the year.
