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

chowtoo

This Z may never make it, given the current high price and the inadequate supply of this car.

The 370Z was not a huge seller either, and required big discounts just to move cars. The 350Z sold WAY better than the 370Z. (The 350 sold more cars in the first year than the 370 did in 3 or 4 years IIRC). I predict this car will be worse, much worse. I'm betting they will stop making it before 5 years gets here. Much like the Infinity Q30 that lasted less than 2 years IIRC.

To be fair, the 350Z came out after Nissan took a hiatus from the Z line, and during that time, they built anticipation.

The 370Z came out with no gap in production of the Z line, and people weren't as excited about it.

The new Z just needs to go. I've seen and driven it. What a disgrace. Same with the BMW "supra".

I may go test drive the one sitting there just to see what I think.

I think it was mostly in the timing. In 2003 there was only the Mustang. No Camaro and no Challenger. In 2009 there was the newer Mustang, Camaro and the Challenger. The 370 Z simply got overshadowed. It also could have used the 400 hp back then, just as it needs more like 450 or 500 now to help keep up. JMO.

I would compare the new Z driving experience to the likes of driving the Q60 Red Sport model.

^^This, all day. The Z has always, until now, been competitive, if not a competitor SMASHER at a LOWER price. This Z35 does not offer ANY of that. Id rather get used GTR, or C7. Or a new Mustang/Camaro. All of which HUMILAITE the Z35 in every spectrum for the same price.
