I'm assuming (and hope!) they'll keep the 6 speed manual option for the Z35, but you guys think'll finally offer up a dual clutch transmission? Or are we gonna see the same 7 speed auto?

Welcome new guys, seems we've had a nice little wave of new blood around here.

It would put it right back into competitive pricing territory compared to its main rivals. For me it doesn't necessarily need to drop that much if it comes with an awesome design, great specs and some new features. DCT would be a great start IMO.

Nice. "In the US, there are two engine choices with three levels of output. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 comes with either 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, or 300 hp and 295 lb-ft." Looks like that is confirmed too. Now can they throw us a bone about the Z?

No company waits 8 yrs for a platform change anymore. The life cycle changeovers have gotten shorter to keep up with the technology and competition. Also more sense of urgency to make cars lighter and more fuel efficient to meet CAFE etc.

By all accounts we still have a long way before we see the next gen Z and next to no one is talking about it. They should build a concept to get people talking.

Over 400hp is very ambitious, that's more than 50 horses above the current 370Z Nismo. If they can drop the weight it won't need that much.

And now there are the rumors that a RWD nissan coupe will be shown at Tokyo (from this thread) but it sure doesn't look Z related based on the render. If it does turn out to be the Z35 maybe all this confusion IS because it borrows the IDx styling. I hope they nixed that project and focus on the Z.

Amen. It's just the haters hatin... Just wait until the new Z hits I'm sure it won't disappoint given how awesome the GT-R has been.

Not a single one of these came true That's kinda hard. Those American muscle cars are just about the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to price-to-performance ratio.

If there's one single engine available, I'm cool with it just being called the "Z" but if there's more than one engine option, they should have multiple names for the different models, with a number designating the engine.

Even if the 370z is selling poorly they don't have to stop production until the next Z is ready to be sold. All the costs involved in developing the 370z has been outlayed so at this point even though the car isn't selling that well it's also not costing the company anything to keep producing...

Convertible as the only option? That would SUCK. Unless you're only in warm climates or driving this on the weekends, would lose out on a lot of buyers who want to DD it also.

Wow I didn't know that about BMW planning for all hybrid models by 2020. That's crazy. You know all the others will follow suit to keep pace if that is the future. Now it is sounding like a hybrid Z powertrain is inevitable. Not sure how i feel about that.

The Nismo version is HOT!!!!

Is anyone waiting to see the next gen Z before pulling the trigger on a 350/370Z? I fall into this category.

Meh still just a Ford. I guess they are trying to change the image but I've never ever considered the Mustang.

Yea I think they will offer two new sports cars, maybe a few years apart, or none at all. Got to spread out the cost among different programs.

That looks like one of the renders in the other thread so maybe those photoshops are not based on complete vaporware. I like the proportions of it...
