i just read an article last night from topgear.com talking to an issan head and he said the Z and GTR are not dead, they are moving forward......but then said its rough with emissions and then bragged about "how fun" cars like the leaf e+ are and how sporty it is......
at that point i said just put a gun the car's head and end the Z if thats they case. now, that being said, i can see the plus side of electric power helping the GTR as it does in a few other super cars. the rumor has been for the R36 is 600hp V6 TT and another 200ish hp from electric motors.

You'd have to put a gun to my head for me to brag about how fun and sporty the leaf e+ is. WTF??? |

Sounds like the next Z or GT-R will either be a hybrid or E-car. I'm interested in neither. I guess this is where me and nissan part ways. I guess I'll find a low mileage 2015 silver mismo and keep it pushin with Chevy till the Alfa coupe comes out.

I don't want a e-car. So I guess my future relationship with Nissan is dead. I'll keep it pushin with Chevy till the Alfa GTV coupe comes out.

I think they still make Mustang GTs and Camaros. it's sad to see another sports car maker going down the tubes. I love my Z but it's seven years old and it's a ragtop. It only has 35k miles but how much longer is the top going to keep going up and down? I'd buy a new Z if they would build it. I'm getting tired of waiting.

i am hoping for some info before the end of the year, my 350z is getting too old and I need a new car. looking at either a 370z or stinger gt... but ill be honest, I don't care too much for the 370z because i feel like they're so outdated. don't know if i should hold off until i hear about the next gen z or just buy the stinger

My current car is a 17 M2 and prior car was a 13 sport Z. I prefer smaller cars with 3 pedals, good power and nimble handling. Going from a 350Z to a Stinger will definitely be an upgrade in comfort, and I'm sure you're going to appreciate how it rides. Not sure what your budget is or if you're going to buy brand new, used, automatic or stick. My friend ended up paying $46k out the door for his (at least that's what he told me). At that price, a very good, used M2 could be found. If that price is too high, consider a slightly used M240i, probably costs about $10k less. That's if you'd like to keep the car smaller, lighter, nimbler, but just a powerful as a Stinger, with the practicality of 4 seats and a trunk. An added bonus on the Bimmers is a nicer interior and a better ride than the 350. |

Just test drove one today, I'm impressed but yeah I'm not a big fan of how big it is. I like smaller cars as well. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. It really sucks ya know? I want a sports car but I don't want a muscle car and every other sports car out there just doesn't have the power I want. I am buying used (i don't ever buy brand new cars). I am looking at 2016 porsche caymans too. trying to find a decently priced one for ~40-50k. As long as it's under 40k miles. If I don't find the car i'm looking for i might just go for a 370z. They're super cheap around here so I can have fun with mods for the money I'd save vs buying the other 2 cars. |

I'd go with another Z!!! It's the smarter choice (vs 40k miles Cayman) on so many levels. |

For what it's worth, I don't think he'll need to wait that long. My money's on an announcement at the Tokyo show in October.
