For me, what sucks the most with these new displays is night driving. Even at their lowest setting they are too bright. I turn off the center screen on my SUV because I hate it blaring at me at night. I can't say for certain since I've not driven one yet, but my money says I'll hate the new Z dash at night.

I just watched this. The comments on the steering are enough for me to mark the Z off the list completely. If there's one thing I hate about my WRX with EPS, it's the lack of feel going thru the corners. Granted, the Z has a different system, but I'll have to pass. |

Loved it!!!
Yeah I don't get it: I fit enough camping gear for a week in my 370z plus a friend, just fine. I think the whole suv/cuv thing is more about "looking" sporty and "fitting in" vs. actual practicality... 370z does the occasional gravel road fine... almost anything fits in it within reason... and I have successfully avoid marriage/kids/mortgage debt = and I don't have any friends. It'll be interesting to see what happens going into this recession/depression and what dealers do to move units (this topic is rarely brought up when the whole debate about 370z sales occurred - that was right during the last housing crash). It'll also be interesting to see what happens in terms of how bad ICE owners will be penalized since the clear message now is "JUST" go out and buy an electric car or face endless job ending social alienation/isolation because you ate a steak 2 days ago and drive an ICE vehicle. It'll be like that movie Demolition Man - "Subtract 20 points because you farted" |

Yeap... it's all about control > environmental concerns...
I mean, bring up big picture topics like coal plants that power a good deal of the grid, or NAFTA leading to jobs being moved to countries that, in those times, were putting up coal plants as fast as possible... In terms of the new Z, we'll see how bad inflation gets, but I def. would love to have one; but also, I wonder what some of these people paid shops to do a VR30 swap with all the cooling/everything finished... |

So what's the deal? Can people start ordering these things, or what? I see these being driven and at dealerships (not personally, but on the internet).
Oh, and also, I'm really glad I decided to make the decision of keeping my z34. There was another member who made a thread about keeping his or trading up (I'm sure many have seen this already), but I'm willing to bet most of us on here have thought about it at some point. That thread will probably get a lot of attention. Last edited by babyzilla; 06-17-2022 at 12:06 PM. |

My local dealer has had orders already submitted. The last time I talked to them, the first orders will arrive this fall. |

Bunch of idiots, who never critically think about anything. IDGAF if gas is $10. I'd rather drive an ICE than an EV that ravages the environment to mine for the minerals needed to make those batteries. The environmental impact mining for those batteries has, is 100x worse than anything a ICE can do. But the self righteous dumb fuqs don't want you to bring that up. I bet all these EV's catch fire at some point in the future.

Just like Ethanol. Destroy food crops for a fuel supplement.
The green movement is all about "Action NOW", vs long term ideology. Europe will go crawling back to Russia once the war is over, but claim a political win as they "negotiate" with Russia. Hypocrisy at it's best. Unfortunately, as with anything, the squeaky wheel get s the oil. No one is defending ICE, oil or tobacco. They just stay silent and bitch and complain on FB or car sites. ( that's a general statement not directed at anyone here) |
