Good news all around except for the "no firm date" thing but at this point I'm happy to get any acknowledgement that the car has a place in Nissan's future. Not only that but FOREVER. All this silence can lead you to believe they are getting ready to drop it.

For all we know the Z could be a few years out still. Might as well pack all the innovation they can since no one is talking about the next gen car yet.

I don't think its competitors would change, it would just be positioned more competitively against its current competition. The Toyobaru twins have carved out a little niche below but I think demand has dried up. In the US at least there's more demand for a RWD 2+2 sports coupe with at least 350...

Nissan's new direction of late seems to have it out for RWD coupes. I think the success of the new Mustang and Camaro shows that there is still a slice of the pie to be had. I'm hoping all this means is it is still too far in the future, but 8 years is pushing the limits of any car's life cycle...

While we wait ... and wait ... for any bit of news from Nissan about the next Z, which is what I've resigned to call, what do you all think it will be called? Seems unlikely it will be badged 300Z in keeping with the current naming convention. Is Z35 looking more likely?

Doubt it :( The Nissan press conference isn't even until the second day of the show. If they had a nice bomb to drop, they woulda gotten an early press conference on the first day.

I can't imagine them going retro with tthe Z at this stage. Cars, even ones with a ton of heritage are going ultra modern these days. Even the stuck-in-their-ways muscle cars are looking super European sleek now. Not sure Nissan should go against the current trend.

Pretty much shows where the Z is in terms of priority for Nissan. :( I guess why bother investing in something affordable when you can get all the rags talking about the GT-R all day that none of us can afford. *shakes head*

If they put two smaller turbos on the engine and pair it with lightweight crankshaft, the engine could have next to zero lag.

Yea totally right. This video is 2.5 years old. Nissan essentially is teasing the next gen Z in this video and they know it. Why do it so early if they had no plans to roll it out by 2015.

IDX was kinda an ugly duckling IMO. I get that it was a throwback styling but the Z has been a modern forward looking design which is what I hope the Z35 is like.

I wonder if the Z is really viewed as the more important car to Nissan. They seem to be shunning sports cars or anything risky at this point. The IDX would have had a more mainstream buyer IMO. It hit the right price point and I can see it being used as a grocery getter and light track work...

Sad to see. Hopefully his legacy lives on for a long long time.

It looks like a R8 rip off.

Turbo 4's can do some amazing things these days. Just look at what Ford has done with the Focus RS and Mustang. If even the Mustang is getting it, I doubt the Z35 will escape it. Still it can easily pump out 350+ horses, with an aggressive tune over 400+.

Wow finally?? Just read this news too and popped on here to share. Even more reason to watch the game now. Cmon Nissan don't disappoint us.

Admin just posted this article on the 370Z Nismo http://www.z35club.com/threads/2015-nissan-370z-nismo-review-around-the-block-automobile-mag.35/ The author put the pricing into perspective. Z is way overpriced right now and if they don't adjust it for the Z35 they're gonna have sales problem...

Jay got to see it first hand.

Hope that this new engine has more refinement than the VQ which pulls like hell but doesn't feel nor sounds particularly good.
