100% agree on the 370Z being cheap and plastic. That was my biggest grip about my 370z. It just felt cheap. For example, the window buttons and the window button housing felt like something someone made in a 3D printer. People that think the Supra has a lot of road noise should ride in a 370z. Hands down the 370z was loudest car for road noise I have ever owned.
Once there's real info on it, or better yet, I can drive one, I will happily make one!
Don't apologize. You said a lot valid truths. I only just disagreed with you on the C&D part because most of their readers don't even know where they are.Sorry if I upset anyone. I thought we were having a good healthy discussion until shit started hitting the fan. Personally I feel competition is good. Especially if it forces Toyota to make yearly improvements. In the end it's the buyers that win and benefit. I also think in the age of crossovers that a newly added affordable Japanese sports car would be welcomed by the enthusiast crowd. Some of you may have misunderstood or taken what I have said in the past out of context. I never said a "$35k or $40k" Z will be on par with a $50k+ Supra. At that price point something has to give. Some people that can't afford a Supra or may not want to spend that much money maybe ok with a Z with a lower quality interior. Some may just want a manual, and others may not what to deal with the issues and headaches common associated with the typical German cars. Whatever the reasoning, isn't having more choices a good thing? I know this a bit cliche, but different stokes for different folks.
They'll update the idrive to include Android auto, maybe slap in a digital display, refresh the look a bit and call it a day.
Speaking as someone who had a base model 350Z... Nissan knows how to pull a lot of costs out of a car. It had an open diff, single piston brakes, no TCS or stability control, tiny cast wheels, no power seats, no cruise control... so yeah, Nissan knows how to pull a lot of costs out of a car...
Yeah, I think so as well. Just from a safety standard nowadays, I don’t it’s even possible for Nissan to make a 2800lb sports car. Toyota had to make a “smaller” Supra to save weight with the MKV, and that still came in at 3200lbs.
