Nothing new here but a summary of current state of purchasing / waiting for a 2023 Nissan Z...

Tokyo is going to be awesome with both the Z and Supra concepts already confirmed. Anyone here going?? So wish I could...

Design is usually locked in 3+ years before production. With a concept dropping this year and production probably the following year it is a good bet the next Z is already set in stone. A nip or tuck here maybe but definitely not still considering design proposals since the concept is probably...

Good news. Maybe the timing of this program and the next Z model is not a coincidence?

No reason it can't be badged 300Z. That's my guess. There's no history of it getting the platform codename other than how enthusiasts refer to it.

More affordable is key. Both pony cars were redesigned completely and still come in at around 25K starting price. The Z if it gets the rumored 400HP twin turbo V6 will have more torque but less HP. It's a tough value proposition since the interior of both are significantly improved also. If it...

I'm disappointed they dulled down the front fascia so much on the production Q60. That was the stunner on the concept. At least the engine didn't disappoint , now on to the Z35 or whatever it'll be called. Next possibility of a concept or any news would be ... NY Show?

Ok so it was a major disappointment to not see the Z35 teased or revealed in the super bowl ad, but still I thought it was a good commercial, and the Maxima looks good. Cool article on how the commercial was made...

Only one outlet reporting on it and based on a questionable source to begin with. I really wish the rumor was about the Z35 instead. There's been a drought for any news! Maybe we'll see some Z news when we get closer to Tokyo show in the Fall? Maybe a concept of some kind debuting.. hopefully.

Even in 5 years, you might see the majority have some kind of hybrid powertrain. For ex. the Porsche Pajun (Panamera Jr.) that's coming will be all electric to compete with the Tesla. And rumors about BMW converting all their 3 series and larger models to hybrids by 2020. That's just the way...

Not true! That's like the Mustang losing the V8. It may have gained a 4 cyl but it didn't lose the V8, which defines the Mustang just like the V6 defines the Z. It would definitely be a shock.

I guess it looks alright.

Problem is it gained even MORE weight. Why do these cars need to be so huge? If the next Z ends up heavier I will shop for something else......no excuse for it in this day and age IMO

Did they actually say the little blue sketch was an idea for the next Z? It looks like just a placeholder and they just blurred the lines on the current 370Z to reflect the general proportions of what the car should look like.

Companies don't just take a year or 2 off from building a car. If they close shop on the Z we won't see it for many many years. Let's pray this doesn't happen :(
