The new Nissan's arent boring or bland, but they arent exactly striking either. So far what we have seen from Infinity is scary.

Plus the new Infiniti's have no new powerplants.. bleh.

when the new bodystyle for the current g37 sedan came out, it had the carryover HR motor in it and the next year when the coupe came out, they renamed the sedan (and coupe) g37 b/c the new 3.7 was in it (and the Z).

I wouldn't be surprised if the new Q50 or whatever the g replacement is called gets a new powerplant options for '14 when the new coupe comes online and that should give us a good hint at what may be powering the Z35 which should debut around '15.

If you cant buy them just yet or just don't want to? You can rent them @ Hertz & Avis. On special, a corvette for a whole weekend is $550 ( $400 a day when not on special). Big savings and you can beat up the car. lol

Not bad if you're going to put some time behind the wheel. I do it a few times a year with vettes and camaros.

I remember seeing on Corvette Forum a few years ago a video someone made where they rented a Hertz edition Vette and put nitrous on it and went to the drag strip, then took it off and returned it.

I also once met a guy at autocross who rented a miata every autocross weekend instead of using his own car.

From Avis, yes... From Hertz... NO!

The Chevy's are all shiftable on Tapshift which is fun. The Mustang no unless you get the 12 or 13, for rental, But Hertz has the exclusive Black and Gold Mustang Shelby GT, also a manual. They have manual corvettes as well. I haven't rented a manual Camaro yet but did the manual Corvette. I will rent the Shelby Gt500 one day? It's hard to get. You gotta reserve far ahead for it and there are no specials. pricey too... The 5.0, vette and camaro go on special all the time.

I've taken rentals to the track... I never put nitrous on them though. lol. thats crazy.

Love that interior. Very Driver Centric. First forward digital screen gauge I like out of many recent affordable car entries.

Fantastic. The red is so emotional which is probably why I will get it.

m4a1mustang · 01-26-2013, 01:27 PM

The hatch is awesome. Tons of space.

m4a1mustang · 01-26-2013, 01:31 PM

The behind nav storage is really trick. That's awesome!

brucelidat · 01-26-2013, 02:22 PM

looks like a great performance value, but still out of my price range. Hopefully, the next Z will be pretty nice

Jasonle · 01-26-2013, 06:05 PM

I feel like it will be if you take out the spare. but otherwise it looks similar to the Z in rear storage.

It looks like it's a bit more space than in the Z. Definitely enough to be a decent DD.
