Plus nissan isnt doing good financially.
And the automatic tranny is a let down too. I dont know why they are using that vs a tiptronic or dct.
But their dct is outdated

The least they can do is lighten the steel while strengthening it and reinforce it.
The throw in a DCT...This 7 speed is outdated.

Too much time, cost and effort I assume.
Their 7 sp dct which the gtr uses is outdated.
The current auto tranny is a 9sp which doesnt make sense and definitely not as good in performance compared to other brands.

I dont know how well the new Z will compared to bmw supra. Bmws auto transmission is better than nissans.

Heres another publication.

The hardest part of this car is the transmission and the chassis. Let's just hope for the best. Maybe they can get a new tranny contract and outsource. I know the next GTR must be getting a new tranny.

It's a TOUGH market right now where big cars have small car agility. So the Z has to be a small car with supercar agility.

I dont care for the small wheelbase of the bmw supra.
The 350z had like 104" wheelbase and the 370 is 100".
I think that's good.

Not sure if anyone posted this, but here's a recent concept picture from a Japanese magazine.

Wow. I hope it looks like that though it seams almost too retro to be true. If it has lights similar to that, I’m in. Which magazine?

It was from Car Top magazine a couple of months ago.

Retro styling (especially the front lights), on the same floorpan as the 370 - well well well - what a surprise! That rendering is pretty good, but I wouldn't expect the top of the door to scoop downwards just like the 370 does. Just a small detail, I know - but it's important to small people like me!

Edit - I don't think it will be 'only a new front'. It will be different, but I also think it won't be a radical shift in appearance either.

Would love a DCT in the Z, but probably too expensive, both to equip and maintain. Ask the BMW guys. The ZF 8 speed is almost as crisp, but smaller package, cheaper to maintain, and much smoother in stop-n-go situation. I’ll take that as a compromise.

The programming is probably the main reason why our 7at feel ancient too. BMW and Porsche figured out how to program a transmission for sports driving.
