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

viiv

Interesting, according to that it looks like you guys in the states can get any exterior colour in the Sport. Here in Canada, I believe you will be restricted to just white, blue and gun metallic on the Sport.

Hence why I stated getting a Passion Red Z in 2023 would cost >$50k.

At least in Canada you would get the rear fog light, the extra anti-corrosive coating in the engine bay and the block heater.

I wish people would drop the 400Z name. Just makes the posting that much more fake. I know it's a fun concept idea, and unrealistic as it may be, still fun to see. Just drop the 400.

FUGLY.

All these modern cars doing away with real gauges. LCD screen this and LCD screen that.

You know what happens to LCD screens when the sun beats on them in hot climates?

They friggin melt

THE BULL

To an extent. Having a name like The new Z is just horrible when it comes to parts searching, interchanges, etc. Granted many will specify Z35/23' etc

For many owners it will take an additional 2-3 second explanation of what you have only to be countered by: oh the 400z? Response.

400z sounds great in my opinion, purists of the brand might not agree.

SeeThruHead

it's still a z34 so that doesn't work.
Just call it "The Nissan Z"
doesn't really roll of the tongue but that's it's name.
The next will hopefully be a new chassis, if they even make one. So it would be z35, easy to call it that, even if it's the New New Nissan Z officially.

I think 400Z sounds terrible. To me, got nothing to do with purity.

Nissan Calls it a Z. It's not a Nissan Hardbody/D21 anymore, it's a Frontier. etc etc.

As for parts. I dont think it will be an issue with a Hyperlink with just a "Z". As you see here at Z1 already: https://www.z1motorsports.com/

Neither calling it a 400Z or just Z makes sense with history of the car. Fact.

99% of normal people in the world have no clue what a Z34 or any of the previous numbers are. So not an answer.

Other companies mess with names and numbers something aweful. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Time will tell here.

The fact is plain and simple to me. If they wanted to keep with tradition, this should have been a 300Z, or the 300ZX. If they wanted the very best marketing for main stream people, it should have been the 400Z, or 400ZX. Bigger is better when it comes to mass public marketing.

Are we really STILL discussing this? Wow. Time to move on folks.

For me, the one and only upside is this car is faster (and it has an extra cup holder - haha). That's it. Its not as good looking as the 370, the wheel options completely suck compared to the 370 Sport, the must "go all in" $10k package thing is worse than the 370 Sport/Touring split or together option, the must pay more for and get 2 tone for most colors sucks bad, the old dash is better (all the electronic gismo is just modern gimmicky), and I don't care if the handling is slightly better (which I seriously doubt) it has electronic power steering assist (something I typically HATE). So nope, no dice. This is not an upgrade car. This is a cool car if you don't have a 370 already. For me, forget about it. I'm keeping the 370 by a LONG mile.

This^^^^ This is EXACTLY how I felt about the 370 when it came out! No way I was giving up my 350 for a 370!! I stuck it to the man by waiting a couple years and buying a brand new one!! I sure showed him!!

My point is, it's called a Nissan Z. Too late for anything else. Not comparing cars, names or components. Just the fact.

I highly doubt these are liquid crystal. They're LED or OLED displays which are more durable.
