There's no way they could offer all of that for any less than $45k... Besides, that's all stuff that tuners will be changing anyway, besides the LSD. I think the whole point of the Sport is for the tuner... however, it seems most are unwilling to add an LSD aftermarket and are ruling out the...
So here's my suggestion... since we know Nissan is most likely monitoring this thread... What if for 2024, Nissan increased the price of the Sport to say $41,490 but it included the LSD... Would you all think that's worth the price? They also could bring the price of the Performance down...
No... they didn't develop it completely new for the Z... but it is a much lower production engine that's only used in two other low production, more expensive vehicles and not based on an engine that is sold in hundreds of thousands of cars (the VQ). Never mind the tech upgrades made to the car...
I think you're looking for a direct comparison, but it's the market in general... We now live in a world where a top-of-the-line Rogue, along with its competitors can cross the $40k threshold, and a popularly equipped Altima is $32-34k with a 4-cyl/turbo-4... prices have been creeping up over...
Like I said in my first post, you can't really compare the price of the 2020 370Z to the new Z. That car was old and there wasn't much reason to buy it new over a used one for cheaper, so Nissan had to keep the price down which did make it a bargain. But trust me, if they had actually made...
I don't know why anyone is really shocked at the price. Did you all really think you were going to walk off the lot with a 400hp Twin Turbo RWD sports car in 2022 for $45k? The shocker here is the Sport starts under $40k. I was expecting it to start around $43k and surely figured the performance...
From the few clips of the car rolling into a trailer or around a parking lot, it definitely sounds quiet like the RS400s. Seems to be no underlying growl that you'd hear at even low revs with a good exhaust. They'll probably just offer the same sport exhausts they offer for the Qs as an option...
Yea, the new ad is pretty good and FEELS good too. I remember when they were announcing their plans for the turnaround about a year and a half ago and they said they want to bring back "Nissan-ness"... in the moment I was like "what does that mean?" Now seeing this ad and the newer product I get...
I think the grille will be the same color across the board. Think the difference in color we are seeing is a difference in lighting. Similar to hypersilver wheels. The wheels I have on my G can almost look chrome in some lighting and gunmetal in other lighting.
Being that it’s mostly a reskinned 370Z, most likely test mules maybe running around in plain sight and we wouldn’t know it. I think the one in the pic above was intentionally modified to feed the buzz and unofficially make the statement that a new Z was coming... hence the big NISSAN badge...
Interesting. I don’t think the lighting is doing it justice as well as the cheap preproduction dash top... but to see there will be some interesting color combos is exciting to know. I thought for sure it was going to between black and black. Lol. Wonder what other colors will be on offer. I’d...
I was thinking that was the case.
Side note: What is JATCO actually developing? In what ways are they innovating? Seem to be pretty stagnant... with the reputation of their CVTs and the future being more focused on EVs that don’t need transmissions. With Nissan going with the ZF 9-speed for the...
If the base price is anything under $40k, Nissan needs to be considered the champ and king of the hill. With the base Supra 3.0 starting at $50k they really could start at $45k and it'll still be considered a bargain. And we all know... they need that money. Lol
Interesting tidbit on the Q50/60...
I don't think they have misstepped on the launch as much as you're alluding to... I mean they pretty much showed us the actual car minus regulatory reflectors at the end of last year. Nissan knows everyone knows what engine will be in this car. They don't really need to confirm what's already...
