    Z35 Pricing? Will the next Z Move upmarket?

    Yea the Supra is the halo sports car for Toyota but Nissan has the GTR so the Z will always stay comfortably under it. The price creep on the GTR does give the next Z a lot of wiggle room up top however. I'm hoping they realize it is a better strategy dropping the car's price to the low 30's be...

    Next Nissan Z On Sale in 2017... as a Crossover?

    I think Nissan knows this will be a very popular car even if it will not be entirely well received by hardcore Z loyalists. In the end I'm betting sales will prove this a successful move.

    Next Nissan Z Must Be Revolutionary and Repositioned to be Successful

    Less weight = more power. It will feel like it at least and that is what will matter to most. All the rhetoric is pointing to a smaller more back to its roots design and I am all for that. Instead of competing with pony cars that have become bloated over the years and required ever increasing...

    When will we see the new Z? / What Autoshow will new Z debut at?

    Wonder how much that render is just someone's imagination. It is pure GTR if so or maybe the IDX but definitely no Z. It's seeming like we wll never see this car :(

    Nissan Exec Spilled the Beans Earlier this Year - Anticipated Lineup = Z, GTR, IDX and Bladeglider

    Next GT-R isn't due until 2018 at the earliest, so hopefully Nissan has plans to bring out a new Z car before then, or its sports cars offerings will really be stale pretty soon.

    Next Generation Z to feature IDx Design Elements

    The GT-R is more supercar than grand touring car IMO. Anyhow this rumor confuses me. The IDX design works due to it being a homage to the Datsun 510's three box design. It's a cool retro look but it sucks for aerodynamics. Also can't see the Z looking ANYTHING like that. Even if it went retro...

    Turbo wars

    NA is dead man walking at this point. I don't mind it so much especially if the Z35 is getting a 4 cylinder. Only way to get any power out of that would be turbo.

    Turbo wars

    100% yes How many people actually put all that power to use? It's all for paper racing and bragging rights. I'll take a lightweight corner carver any day of the week.

    Z35's competition

    Definitely possible with a new platform and smaller overall car.

    Jay Leno video talks about next Z (Z35 / 240Z?) with Nissan chief designer

    I don't see any sketches on there that would make a facelift for the new Z. We need something more of a throwback design than ultra modern and overly concept-like.

    It still looks like a chick's car to me.

    Any current or past Z owners? & Post pics of your Z car!

    350 or 370? white isn't so bad compared to black which I owned for years before my current car. I'm hoping for some great colors for the z35.

    When will we see the new Z? / What Autoshow will new Z debut at?

    No news from last month's LA show, but no one was (or should have been) expecting any.

    Z35 Pricing? Will the next Z Move upmarket?

    I've been beating this drum over and over but NISSAN needs to price this thing CORRECTLY or it will get killed like the previous Z cars. What can they do to make sure that happens? Limit the options for one. What else?

    Jay Leno video talks about next Z (Z35 / 240Z?) with Nissan chief designer

    I'm surprised more people havent paid attention to this video. These design studios are always chock full of hints and they dont exactly try to hide it here. There are sketches and renders labeled Z35 fairlady, clearly going back to its 240Z roots. Here are some still shots:

    Code-name Z35 is Born

    Proof positive that a pretty face can only get you so far. In this day and age you need competitive performance to sell... and not with cars made 5-10 years ago.

    Z35 could feature Targa Top (& Hybrid Tech)

    I say no to targa top. Nissan faces a real pricing issue right now with the 370Z - it has some stiff domestic competition from the muscle cars that are only going to get worse. The mustang and camaro are both cheaper and being refreshed for even better bang for buck performance. They need to...

    Nissan ESFLOW inspiration for Z35? Will it be retro?

    Smooth out the fenders and it's pretty good. Love the back view so sleek.

    Z35's competition

    Yes defnitely the added bulk and height that makes the Z look bigger than the FRS. Check this out: I still dont know how they managed to squeeze backseats into that. Then again... when you sit back there, sad face.
