Kia Stinger.... Theyre passing Nissan.

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-08-2017, 02:01 PM

Let's see....

Kia's Maxima competitor is a RWD/AWD 8 speed auto a 365hp/376lbs of torque with LSD RWD and torque vectoring AWD. Gets to 60 in Z time and has a higher top speed than Z. 167mph.

We're not being outdone by Hyundai. We're being outdone by there bottom of the barrel brand. Kia.

Nissan is a joke.... Public Enemy, Change your song title from 911 is a joke, to Nissan is a joke. Smh. Game Over!!!

Will Kia be introducing a 2,874lb coupe with similar specs shortly after? Like when they introduced the Genesis coupe???

Hyundai or kia are king of copy cats of car companies, this looks like a mich mosh of a Maserati ghbilia & the new alfa romeo and their own k900. Will never sell over the bmw.

WTF is Nissan doing?? Why have they dropped the ball on redesigning a new Z? They are going to start to lose loyal customers to other car companies if they don't start coming up with some new innovations.

Exactly that.... Nissan is dropping balls everywhere. They just got beat at there own game. This car is a Q60 competitor!!! Possibly for less money.... And a potential coupe that weighs FRS light with 375hp? Sounds like a Cayman killer to me!!!

People can hang on to Hyundai insults all day long while getting beat at the track n making excuses....

Nissan driver friend asks....Dude.... why you lost to a Kia?
Nissan driver....I sprain my wrist n it made me granny shift.

NDF.... Dude that blows.

ND. It also didn't help that Nissan neglected the Z to squeeze another 50 miles out of a leaf that no one buys either....

NDF.... Dude buy a Kia... and win.

Nissan driver commits suicide.

Nissan, you gutless bastards. You're going out like Honda and pre 2012 Toyota.

Your exactly right about the cayman killer, hell I think with the right driver and setup it might give a 911 a bit of a run. I just don't know what to think anymore Nissan is letting a timeless car slip through there fingers. I bet Mr. K is rolling over in his grave right about now.

He's probably trying to make his soul commit suicide. Poor man. Thanks Carlos Ghosn. You're a great soulless businessman.

besides innovation to lighten the chassis, not sure if technology is the key for us car folks. if they innovate dey give us dat pos DAS system and electronic clutch gearbox which is faking boring to drive as hell.

dey need to keep the car basic as possible but refined.. otherwise u just loose dat fun factor in cars.

subaru did the current STI right. using old technology but refined. thing is so fun to drive it is crazy to see it's a family sedan. fast responding and precise throttle, very nice short throw with close ratio gear box dat don't force u out of da gate while cold, hydraulic pump steering, ability to tune ur center diff for different driving bias/dynamics, good brakes. sounds perfect too imo, right out of da box. everything dat makes a car fun to drive. plus nice suede like alcantara seats and all. thing is downright awesome for only $40K+. it could use another 50hp, but with sub-5 sec to 60, its plenty for me.

370Z is kinda tricky to drive cause so much slop. Nissan just needs to refine dat, lighten da car, and give the next Z dat 400hp tt engine, give it a little retro look at $40K and walla..

You're so right about everything you said.... unlike madeinjapan. SMH. I mean, I never bought anything made in Japan that sucked. He was probably made with Chinese parts!! LMFAO!

+1 on the STi analysis. Name a car with those attributes that is as fun to drive or better.....wait.....wait....there is not a single car because they have lost everything listed that works that is found in the STi. Maybe a 4C because its sans power steering and all, but lacks the utility of the STi. The car world, much like electric steering, is numb....cars are numb and sooner rather than later, we can all sit back and become more numb, as the things drive us around and we stare at electronics we are obsessed with....sad.

I rather drive a great featured copy than a wacky do current Nissan Max. N I disagree with your analysis. This car looks like the optima which was Kia's FIRST ORIGINAL DESIGN. If anything. Our maxima copied Kia. How pathetic is that???

And if you're copying Maserati? You're doing it right!!!

N outsell BMW? I doubt this car is priced in BMW range. This is probably base Q60 range or top line maxima.
