What will stop you from owning the new Z?

[golddog]

I won’t be getting the Z. I ordered a 2022 BMW M240i. Maybe a Z in the future.

That's not at all what anyone was talking about. We were talking about someone who was eagerly anticipating a Z and then choosing to not go forward with it (due to all the bs) and then choosing a truck. THAT person (another poster on here was suggesting) was NEVER going to end up with a Z. Z fans are die hards and would never choose a Titan over a sports car. If they do...they were never the kind of person who was actually going to end up with a Z. We all have other cars. I have a Porsche Cayenne S V8 and it is hella fast (faster than a lot of "sports" cars). But it is not a substitute for a Z in any imaginable world.

I think its fair to say that the more time goes on, the more likely that competing wants or needs are going to come up. I don't think the person buying the Titan expects it to fill the niche that the Z was going to fill, but their priorities have obviously changed.

Ill give you my example.
I want a Z, have done since I heard it was coming a year and a half ago…was one of the first to slap down money here in Aus.
I’ve looked at other cars, but nothing has the same tug on my heart strings as the Z.

If delivery drags out I will need another car, because at the moment I’m driving my sons (who is getting his licence in July).
Ill probably get a Mazda MX-5 ( Miata to you guys) because it’s more affordable and fun.
BUT in the back of my mind I’m thinking…if it’s not REALLY what I want maybe I should get an EV, especially with petrol prices and things heading that way anyway.
Do I want an EV? Nope not particularly, not even very interested in them at all…but if I can’t have the Z I might be disappointed in getting a MX-5, I need a car, soooo maybe it’s just better to go sensible

Everyone has different circumstances, doesn’t mean we never REALLY wanted the Z …I agree with you

Id prolly wait it out this month. My guess they are going to announce something right at the start of spring

Don't do it!!! Before it comes to that think about looking at a good used 370Z? A 370Z Nismo? I would even think about a 300ZX TT. One of the best of all time. An EV will be practical but keep in mind nobody has still figured out how to recycle all these caustic batteries. In fact, the sea can that caught fire and then sank with the 1100 Porsches was started by the lithium batteries in the EVs on board. Lot's of options before completely selling out. If I still had my 370Z I wouldn't be driving myself crazy about the 2023 Z.

With Nissan Corporate in Aus saying there will be some Zs in Dealers by late June early July I will stick it out till then.
If by July there is no cars AND no firm details of when there will be it will be time to reassess …by then I would have had an order in the system for 15 months …I think I deserve some type of answers by then

As recently as March 2, the cause still remains unknown.

You are correct. No formal ruling. But EV batteries explode once they experience thermal runaway in their propensity to issue flammable toxins in the air. And are near impossible to extinguish, even in the absence of no oxygen. Now imagine these things polluting the ocean:

I'll admit I'm just getting bored. Months ago I was so excited seeing new Z images / details and I was all in trading my STI for one, especially considering how much places like Carvana are offering me. Now it feels like an eternity later and we still have no info so im thinking about keeping the STI and just modding it further. I like to modify my cars and I've been so damn bored lol. Nissan needs to give us something soon or ill probably forget about the Z for awhile.

Given recent developments, I wouldn't trade the STI for the Z.

Yeah, came here to say just this. I'd probably drive that thing into the ground at this point and maybe consider getting a pre-owned Z down the road if you wanna try and have a best-of-both-worlds situation (assuming it's possible).

Yeah honestly ive been thinking about that. I work remotely so my STI has very few miles on it, less than 2600 currently. Some people may roast me for that lol but I have another beater to drive when its nasty in the winter.

Dang, so that thing is probably worth even more because of that. And I get it—I WFH too, so the handful of times I do drive during the week is to like, go wander the grocery store and pick up lunch just to get out of the house lol. The misses and I currently share car (she works a hybrid role), so she's usually the one putting miles on it. The Z will be all mine, so I'll probably be in a pretty similar situation as you. It'll be a blow-off-steam-during-the-week-mobile.

Dont get an EV yet unless you purely want it to get you from A to B. They are not a good car for enthusiasts. I have Tesla 3 for my company car, and besides winning the odd traffic light grand prix in silence, they are devoid of any soul and none of the things which made me fall in love with cars originally. Its a good thing they have auto drive because it will put you too sleep
