Article is dated Aug 8, 2014. More info has surfaced from Nissan since then, so basically throw out that old article.

yah, the next z is priced $90k lol

I'm not sure I would want a hybrid...putting aside the obvious weight increase disadvantage, it seems to me like one more hurdle to overcome with aftermarket

like what if you want to double the power with aftermarket support...will the battery and electric motor get in the way?

Id rather keep it simple. put the fancy hybrid stuff on the gtr

The Z is meant to be an affordable sports car. 60k is just plain BS. I'm willing to bet the Z35 will start under 40k

Here, Here!

A new 370Z now is overpriced for what you get.

60K? No way.

As an old Z guy,(owned an original 240Z,bought the rebirth 350 when they first came out,
the 370...to me just the same thing Nissan&Datsun has done. Starts with a great design,
ruins it by adding weight and ugly design changes etc.) I wish the new Z would take
a fresh start. Possibly back to the original lighter,innovative,offer alot for the money.

Again,60K will be a difficult sell as so many cars are in that price range that offer so much more.
Now,if Nissan wins Lemans(doubtful),they will copy what BMW is doing with their i series.
Hawk the new Z as having "features" from the Lemans winner.

Used 350&370's will go up in price as the Z dream will be affordable.

I disagree with this. My (base) 370z was <$30k brand new, there are little to no cars that compete with the Z at that price. Closest competitor is a 5.0 Mustang but I think the negatives outweigh the positives there

I've noticed most of the info about the Z35 is from Aug/Sept of last year and I have not seen anything new from Nissan... They just spent money re-doing the options packages for all models and changed the NISMO body kit...

I'll get to the point: I wonder if this car is really going away next year. There's no test mules, no concept car, not much info from Nissan... Makes me think we're at least 2 years out.

Either that or they are being very secretly about it.

You could get a preowned Z with low miles, any body modifications, any wheels, and pretty much any TT kit on the market and still come out with enough money to put a down payment on a house. Ill pass on 60K. Like its been said, pre-owned low miles GTR range for 60K...

MagmaRed370z · 03-24-2015, 12:47 PM

Besides being expensive, I am sure many of us here will tradein-sell our Z34 for the new Z35. The same thing happened when we had our 350z, we ended up trading it up for the 370z

edk370 · 03-24-2015, 12:55 PM

$60,000 is not a lot of money for a brand new, hipo car that pushes at least 400 hp. $100,000 is the "new expensive."

It is when you can get a 5.0 Mustang with 435 hp for $32k....

The Mustang could come with 600hp and I still think there are plenty of people who would choose the Z over it. Sure as hell not at $60k but a lot more than HP goes into a car purchase for most.
