[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

SeeThruHead

Just arrived at Yorkdale up the street from me. Might go look at it sometime this week.

It's crazy just how unchanged 90% of the car is from the 370z. Everything under the car looks unchanged aside form the exhaust. Plenty of the interior plastics are exactly the same, like the doors, everything behind the seats is exactly the same. Maybe even the inner plastic on the hatch. Basically they just updated that dash and center console and that's it.

The size of the fuel door is comical, they changed the body without changing the position of the fuel filler at all so I guess their options were make it huge or make it off center.

I'm actually glad they didn't dramatically change the exterior, or interior for that matter (although I think the interior is quite a bit nicer than the current gen.). I think the current & next gen Z look great. What's got my interest the most is the new 2x turbo V6 powertrain!

Everyone over on the Z forum is talking prop rods and dual climate. Whatever.

What I just saw for the first time is that it appears to now have 2 cup holders in the center console. Is that at the expense of loosing the storage compartment? But 2 holders is nice for when your wife is with you and you both have something to drink from McDonald's.

Also, they moved the start button. Not a problem just the first time noticing it.

Someone did comment on the size of the gas fill door. I noticed this before. I guess since they didn't make any changes to the underside, they had to make the door HUGE to accommodate the new styling. Funny.

Why has no one taken any good pics of the dash, center console, and rear trunk yet? Hello? Anybody? Or have I just missed them?

I'm pretty sure the console lid slides back to reveal the cup holder, in addition to opening normally. The trunk is identical to the 370z so no real reason to take any pictures of it i guess.

Shifter console shape has changed, but simply, the hazard button is moved in between center vents and the new hole is now occupied by starter switch. To me, it's done just for the sake of change. Nothing extraordinary.

The cup holder abomination is something to be desired. (9:25 of video) I have never seen something so stupid. I'm a very positive guy and usually give someone or something the benefit of the doubt. However, all doubt has been fully removed.

I like the dash but prefer the old analog, radial style gauges. They didn't make it a unique dash to the Z. It will be similarly shared with Juke and Murano et al. (vise steering wheel)

The "SMART" sliding back lid feature will be on 2023 model. So you can trade in your 2022 for the benefit of a cup holder. Just like the trunk release between 2017 and 2018 model year 370.

see 9:25 of video.

If you look carefully, there seems to be two variants for the new Z here. I can only assume the base and sport. The base has the 5 spoke wheel design (actually looks really good), but you can tell it doesn't have the red sport calipers that the split spoke wheel design has. Also, the base lacks the rear spoiler - very subtle. Just an observation.

Do you even internet, bro?

Dude, that gas cap door is HUGE. Once you notice it, it is impossible not to. They need to do something about that (if its even possible). It really is a deal breaker for me, as I can't stop staring at how bad it looks.

It's just too damn big.

What 2022 model? Isn't 2023 the first year?

EDIT: i think you're joking lol

I think they just didn't try pushing it back/didn't know about it.

It's hinged. I'm no design engineer, but that would be a funky design if it could do that. Not impossible, but I don't see it there. The whole tray would have to move with the hinge.

Just my observation.

Ok lets make it 2023 to 2024 year option.
