I want to give kudos to folks who have been here the entire time!
I have been a longtime reader (and I mean really long), and it's been been more than a roller coaster ride. Several years of 370z successor anticipation, followed by years of WTF Nissan, followed by acceptance of the successor won't happen, and now this surprise. Boy has cried wolf so many times I am really surprised this time there really was a wolf. Now with this in mind, who cares front bumper is little fugly. Z is coming and folks are still going to get it. Kind of like getting married even though you know she is fugly. Yeah she is fugly but that ride... |

Love it or hate it. Bottom line, they're NOT going to discontinue the Z, and it's not a hybrid.

I never thought a hybrid supercar was possible. I never thought Honda would merge with GM. I never thought covid19 would still be around. Never say "never"

Face it. One day it will be hybrid or just straight up electric.
People bitch way too much. It's better to keep the Z alive vs discounting it. We know there will be plenty aftermarket available I'll be in my bunk!

Look for a up tick in hybrids around 2025. In 2030, in some euro countries. No new fossil fueled vehicles will be sold.

Too be honest looking at it straight on from the back, at what looks like a standing height, it doesn't look as bad as I thought. The rear hips are definitely wider than they appear which is something I was worried would be lost in the styling. I like the carbon fiber diffuser still. The body colored "bulge" in the back that separates the top and bottom could maybe use some tweaking. Maybe more aggressive lines? The one thing I still have distaste for is the black strip between the tail lights. I think that would look better body colored.
Again, I think this yellow/neon color they chose makes it look worse than it really is. However, I must say the more I look at the car and really examine the details it is looking better and better to me. And I think it needs a small spoiler or ducktail of sorts. That would really make it pop better. |

All the OGs who went dark all of a sudden joined the party. Welcome back.

Before I get jumped for this question, I understand they could still style a bit better on the grill. I kind of like it but, do you think maybe the decision may have been half cosmetic, half functionality? I mean, what was a big complaint about the 370Z, cooling correct? I don't mind some functionality over style. Kind of like buying wheels for their lightness over style, same dif.

Anything less than 400hp/400tq is a fail at the price point they want to come in at, IMO. The Red Sport 400 came with 400hp/350tq in 2016 with the auto. 2020 Loaded Non-Nismo Zs priced in the mid $30s with 332hp/269tq and $40k+ Nismos with 350hp/276tq. MSRP, but hey it's the prices that they are putting out there. Nissan better come swinging. I am digging what I've seen so far.
