Especially as they're financially struggling.I will believe all these too good to be true 370z rumors when I see it. Until then it's just speculation. Nissan is in the business of making money, they are not going to leave money on the table just to cater to a small demographic of enthusiast.
I wouldn't say small. Nissan has sold 370z's 6 times more than Toyota with their Supra's lineup. The 370z were on sale with an MSRP of $39,130. So if it is not $35k, it is close.I will believe all these too good to be true 370z rumors when I see it. Until then it's just speculation.

This is not true. Had my '17 370z with 63k miles after then accident and never had any issues. It all depends on you, whether you are doing the required maintenance etc. Just like any other car. One thing for sure is their CSC failure. The csc's in these cars are garbage. It WILL fail eventually. It may fail at 100 miles on the car, or at 100k miles, but it is a matter of when, not if. The CSC is around the input shaft of the transmission on these cars, so when it fails it requires dropping the transmission which is labor intensive ($$$). Hopefully that's not the case with the new Z. I'd rather be patient and let those who purchased the car first to tell the world the issues, etc..My roommate wanted the 400z (since his dad had a z car back in the day) but ended up getting the supra after more research. He has a friend, thats a GTR tech at a Nissan dealership, he said the 400z engine isn't reliable and just to get the supra. The GTR tech friend had to work on that engine all the time because after 20k miles its just unreliable. If you dont drive much or plan on selling the 400z before 20k miles then there is no problem.
I very much doyI am still ~2 years out until the mortgage is paid off and the still on the fence. I was set on an auto but considering I drive 1/4 as much as previously I think I want a manual. I have been very interested in the new Z because of the manual but if I am waiting 2 years I may as well get the G42 M240i since it will be around the same price as the Supra and it is 6MT 2+2 Supra. So it would come down to what options are available on the new Z at that point.
Butttttt if I decide to get an auto, that also leaves the possibility of a CPO F-Type or GT S.

Im certain the 2023 supra will have some changes (probably just visual refresh) based on feedback they got from owners earlier this year so keep that in mind too.
I personally had a 2020 supra that was totaled and was originally waiting for the 22 (just in case their were updates) but ended up getting 21 recently since its the same car. I also looked into getting the new C8 and rented one but for double the price the supra is actually great value for a sports car. I have way more fun in the supra and it sounds better at all speeds compared to the e C8 that is only great at higher speeds which is my personal opinion.
I think the GR86 is another great car for the price since it fixes all the problems of the 86 so if anything consider that car if you can wait
Also keep in mind these cars are all the last generation of gas only sports cars before they all go hybrid in 5 years

it's also been on the market 6 times longer and for that base MSRP you got nothing. Look at the years both were on sale. The Supra sold triple the 370 did, even though the Supra cost more. And all the performance bits, come standard.I wouldn't say small. Nissan has sold 370z's 6 times more than Toyota with their Supra's lineup. The 370z were on sale with an MSRP of $39,130.

No, it's a small demographic compared to their other core buyers. Nissan has not sold more than 10K 370z's in a single year since 2010. It's small potatoes for them.I wouldn't say small.

According to the stats, about 14k Z's were sold in 2009 when it got released, whereas Supra's close to 6k in 2020. In U.S only.it's also been on sale 6 times longer and for that base MSRP you got nothing. Look at the sales years both were available, the Supra sold triple even though it's more expensive.

Nothing about the 370z im talking about the new infinity engine thats going in the 400zI wouldn't say small. Nissan has sold 370z's 6 times more than Toyota with their Supra's lineup. The 370z were on sale with an MSRP of $39,130. So if it is not $35k, it is close.

443hp at the crank? I don't think it will come close to being rated at 440hp let alone at the crank. That would be 500+ hp.It will come both auto and manual and it will have 443 at crank. The new Z won't hit the market till mid '22. I remember with the GTR the new model in years past could always be ordered around November and then owners would receive their cars usually February to March. I would like to think the Z would fall into this pattern. I'd rather wait because I don't want to have buyer's remorse and in the meantime, I will get something else to take me to work and school.
