Nissan would be blind to their own history to that again. The overwhelming majority of prospective Z buyers will NOT spend 60 large on a "Nissan" (Yes, yes, GTR-way different market and the R's have had a long pedigree of being Supercars). I think itll share alot with the Q's and for that reason theyll be able to keep the cost down and still get 400+HP. Starting at $33k to a maxed platform at maybe $51K.
Well said. +1!!!

Comparison is due to the same price range I believe and whether you have kids or not. Mustangs and F150's are a dime a dozen and really don't appeal to me because of it. You can still give the 5.0 hell if you are a better driver so horsepower isn't Everything.

Totally agree. I've embarrassed many 5.0's at the track in Sebring with my 370. That being said many have embarrassed me. Equal everything the 5.0 is faster. Though not by as much as most opinions think. IMO. LOL.

In all reality though, I am really curious how Nissan is going to change the interior. of the Z35 I wish they keep the 3 pod center console gauges. Love those! (plus they are like a Z signature). I would also want to see a better navigation console with more voice features.

What would you like to see in terms of Interior changes? (Sorry to deviate from the "Z35 Price Topic")

Better side visibility. Part of the reason I was in a drag race at every stop light with that car, just to be out in front to KNOW exactly what was around me.

I imagine the gauges and speed/tach/info pods are going to become ultra high res mini computer screens in the traditional Z shape with configurable gauges

Yeah the BRZ/FR-S and Miata do provide some cornering thrills and good feel (and in the case of the Miata, wind in your hair) but along with it comes the complete lack of anything you'd call quick acceleration compared to... A V6 Camry or minivan, certainly not the Z.

The 370Z puts down a respectable 0-100 time and runs the quarter mile in a respectable 13-something seconds, while offering a great sports car driving experience. Not the greatest sports car driving experience, but a great one nonetheless.

If people want to give up even more of that experience to mash the gas to a sub-13-second quarter mile that's their choice but the point is, they're all choices, there is no right or wrong, except for the individual.

I don't like how the last gen Mustang drives but I do hold out hope for the new one (have not tried it yet) although I'm not encouraged by the reviews so far.

one thing i will probably never get is why people bash other cars. i appreciate all cars, whether it's a civic or a mustang. they are all special in their own ways. people take time and their hard earned money to modify them. given that sometimes they come out hideous, but still it's their style.

Yeah I'm pretty much OK with any kind of modding as long as it's not a safety issue (like scraping along on the bumpstops with body kit pieces flapping in the breeze or giant lift kits on trucks so they will roll right over a subcompact in a 10 mph crash) and I like all kinds of cars, from hot rods to customs to muscle cars and imports... One thing that they all have in common, for all the ones I like, every one of them have some hideous "siblings."

So this rules out a beater '98 civic with camber at 100 degrees and '17's rolling with green neon spinners and a park bench wing? Damnit!!

Interesting article. They are claiming that the new Q60 is going to be 55K. If that is true, then the new Z35 will be much lower than that.
