sipar69 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 If true, I'm definitely going Evora or GTR next time. Quote
Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Unlikely to be badged a Z car I would think, but certainly makes sense. Either we get a 2-door RWD coupe with a small 4-pot turbo engine that will sell about 5 cars a year, or we get a crossover car with the same engines and 4x4 that will sell millions. The affordable but fast coupe as we know it is dead: You either go slower like the BRZ86, or you spend more and get a TT/Z4/Cayman. End of an era folks, end of an era. 3 Quote

gangzoom Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Show how much everyone loves a bargain - £33K for 400bhp+ V8, with everything you want standard + 2 rear seats + a legendary badge....Nothing else on the market comes close, surprised Ford dealers haven't had to resort to crowd control Or for £3K cheaper you can buy a van to ferry your sproglings around in!!

Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 just as ford announce 2000 preorders on the mustang Well, exactly! Why buy a crappy Nissan with a sh*tty engine when you can have a V8 Mustang? Ford can get away with it due to the volume they sell (I suspect they sell the RHD Mustang at a loss) and because of the name: The Z moniker just doesn't mean that much to people ultimately, not compared to the Mustang or other Jap favourites like Supra or GT-R. No point bringing a quill to a nuclear war. 2 Quote

The Infiniti Q30 looks very similar and will be built in Sunderland, draw your own conclusions:- https://www.infiniti.co.uk/infiniti-world/concept-cars/q30.html? Quote
glrnet Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Good spot! Was looking at Infiniti's recently and noted that with interest. Quote
Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Tbh, I think I'd rather the Zed died off than was diluted with either a 4-pot or an SUV. Some cars don't have to live forever to stay an icon forever. 2 Quote

glrnet Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Have to agree Dan, wouldn't buy one just because they put a Zed badge in it, look what happened to MG Quote
Will370z Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Looks like some more info and an image is now being shown http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/nissan-preview-upcoming-z-car-new-crossover-concept Quote
Shenley Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Nooo http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-frankfurt-motor-show/nissan-gripz-concept-previews-new-z-crossover Quote
gangzoom Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 "The concept uses a version of Nissan’s PureDrive Hybrid system, with a petrol engine acting as a range extender to keep the batteries charged and electric motors driving all four wheels" So not only a ugly crossover, but also an electric car - Though not a proper electric car, its still got a petrol engine in it to charge the batteries Quote
