Nissan Z roadster coming? What about a T-Top, Targa Top, or Shooting Brake?

What body style would you be interested in?

Should Nissan bring the Roadster back?

Would love a t-top option. Never liked how a convertible looks with the top up. Anyway, because Nissan is looking to reduce/share platforms, I’d bet there will be no convertible because that requires structural changes that no other FM plateform has anymore.

I’ve been driving Z roadsters since 2007 from 2005 350 to my current 2017 370. The question is any plans for 400 to be a roadster!

Everything I’ve read to date says…no.
In my opinion it’s a shame. Hopefully they change their mind later down the track if the Z does well

I hope they do maybe T/tops or Targa top! In my opinion 2 seater cars should have that options!

I love the corvette, but I also like all the mid cons, so I’m still going for a Z…just disappointing it won’t come in a convertible model.
A new corvette will be selling for 168k in Australia, totally out of reach for me. Older models won’t have all the mod cons, which is also one of the reasons I wasn’t tempted into a MX5 ( or Miata as you guys know it)

Wow, that’s crazy!! Starting to lean over to the vet! Looks sexy like the 370z roadster! I just feel Nissan lost it’s touch on the 400z the front is missing BUY ME look!! With that being said I’m going to NYC to see the reveal of the production model of the 400Z ! That will make my decision in what Direction I’ll be taking! Vetts a lot cheaper here!!

As above mentioned by another “Z” enthusiast, there is no indications of the Z400, comming on a Roadster version. So far we have read about three models. Supposedly: a basic model, an S model and a T model. At least that is what I have read.

Love your choice of cars!

Not to hi-jack the thread - but would love to hear your thoughts on these 2 cars. How would you compare/contrast these 2 models? Love them both but being 6'2", i find the car to be difficult to get in/out and the seating position is too upright. The 350Z ahs that cheap-easily-scratched interior and the 370Z is world class interior (later models).

But I too would love the Vert, but not hearing anything good about that option. I think with the problems seen on Nissan/Infiniti models with the verts, they may be shying away from it.
