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

[ToTheMax]

Best Car magazine in Japan supposedly reporting that there could be a RWD Nissan coupe appearing at Tokyo auto show. Could this be the next Z?

Getting a bit confused with all these rumors which mix the IDX, Z, and now this "Nissan coupe" car. They all talking about the same car?

If the image is accurate then this is no Z car. Doesn't have the proportions or styling of one. Would be nice to see a RWD coupe from Nissan compete with the BMW M4 and MB C63 though.

Weird news and only one site reporting on it. That roof is straight off the GT-R. I'd love to see a RWD coupe with backseats. Hotly contested segment though but they've got the technology from GT-R to bring down. I think Nissan could pull it off.

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

Yea that's no Z. Doesn't have the clear Z proportions and shape.

Yes! bring a mini-GTR to compete and whip the BMW M4! Can you imagine those headlines and press that such a car would get if it did that.

I'd love to see a M4 killer but I think that's asking too much. The Z should also be what $30,000 or so cheaper than the new M4?

Nowadays it's rare to see a car that's been in production this long and have a whole new design come out without any concept shown to get feedback and build hype.

Think it will be a typical release or will they go for shock and awe with little build up?

I'd love to visit Tokyo for the show someday. Maybe when they reveal the next Z

 

[Vaughn]

I think we'll see a concept first. Great way to build up hype and interest, as long as they don't wait too long between the concept and putting the car into production.

 

[Seong]

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.

You never know. That's when concepts usually drop - when nobody is talking about the car or least expecting it. That's how you get the world to take notice and get tons of press.

Aren't all Infiniti badged as Nissans in Japan? So Nissan version of the Q60??

Yeah. G37 / Q60 = Nissan Skyline in Japan for example.

NY show is this week. If they are waiting for dead silence to drop a bomb, now would be a good time.
