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

NecioVato

The more I see reviews on the Z - and the fact that most of the reviews against the Supra have come back unfavorable to the Z - makes me wonder if there will be wild markups on the car (maybe I'm just being naive). As for the manual vs the auto - I can see why someone would want to switch - i would probably lean more toward the manual bc we all know the day will be here sooner rather than later that they all disappear.

Right now - I'm kinda on the fence - for 'sh!ts and grins' I put in my car to see what Carvana would give me - wow the prices have dropped haha (I only added like 6k miles since last time I checked) and they came back with an offer of $23k - so that really makes me think that keeping the current Z is the smart move for me - but being a car enthusiast - do we ever make 'smart' decisions when it comes to cars

Yea, saw that one! Looks like nothing a tire change can’t fix.

All the talk of pricing over on the other forum. Its really not much different than with the 370 (higher of course), only that Nissan has reduced options.

370
Base 30k
Sport $3500? (I forget exactly)
Touring $4500
Sport + Touring $8000.

Z
Base 40k
Sport + Touring $10000.

They have changed the marketing names, raised the price for 13 years later, and are making people buy the touring package stuff. Definitely a step backwards in terms of options to buy.

Also, I guess it must be different around the world, but anyone who paid sticker price for 370Z in Southwest Ohio got ripped off. When the sticker for my 2012 Sport was about $37,500 (give or take), I paid $34,500. Nissan could hardly give Zs away. Contrary to what people might say here, the 370Z was not a great seller for Nissan. Sales of the 370 pailed in comparison to the 350 (the 350 sold more cars in it's first year than the 370 managed to sell in its first 4 years COMBINED. I don't see this new Z doing much better. Maybe the first year or 2, but after that, I'm pretty sure there will be heavy discounts and people buying them at dealer invoice. Of course only time will tell.

Just spotted this at Home Depot today. I wish the spot next to it was available so I could've snapped a pic with mine. I personally feel it needs a body kit. Too plain of a look.

That gas cap cover gives me a chuckle every time I see it.
Agree that it looks plain. Generic sports car would be the caption beside it's pic.

I think it's funny that people call the new Z 'a 370Z with a body kit', but then people say the new Z needs a body kit.

I actually liked the 370 without a body kit when I first saw it. The new one...not so much. Doesn't stand out in the crowd IMHO.

Wow. Silver paint next to other normal cars looks BORING as hell. Watched the drag race video too with the Supra and Mustang Mach 1. The video makes the Z look slow but I say what ever to that. 0-60 in 4.0 is FAST in my book. Really fast. I think both the other cars are not pretty by any means. Maybe even ugly sort of. But the Z looks so plain its unreal. Its like the other two are 9 and 10 for over exuberance, but the Z is like a 2 for dull dud boringness. Sorry folks. The 370Z is a FAR better LOOKING sports car. As is the 350, and 240.

This car will be a complete sales dud. I give it 3 or 4 years tops, then gone.

Agreed. At least for the front, I think Nissan just having given the 370Z headlights a matrix LED update to match that of the Murano's 370Z inspired matrix LED lights would have looked better than the new Z's front end.

This was also a missed opportunity for Morimoto who should have also just imitated the Murano's headlight's design for their 370Z headlamps for a more OEM look, instead of the more ricey look they came up with:




The most important part, is my 2020 is better looking and only cost me $28k CDN brand new. Buying a passion red Z would cost me over $50k CDN nowadays, not worth the price difference and rather invest that $20k+ difference:
