New Nissan Z

Is this likely to be better than a Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ ?

Look very dated already to me. Something from the 1990's.
The grill looks like something cut out with a hacksaw and inspired by a side table.
Not impressed.

I really like the one halfway down the page, looks proper oldschool.

Yeah, I'd rather have the 240z.

Probably cost more than the new car as well. Classic Japanese car prices are going nuts.

The new z design'd budget must have been partially diverted to the Ariya's R & D.

Like. But whether Nissan have the finances to develop it into a supra Z4 competitor seems doubtful.

That's another horribly ugly car in my opinion.
$100,000 to buy the Toyota? no thanks.

I like it. Simple lines and decent power! That colour is gross though.

I like the look of the Toyota 86 but it's lacking in power.

Not a fan of the new supra's looks though.

I loved the 300ZX twin turbo from the 1990s, but I'm sorry to say I never really liked the later 350Z and 370Z, they just didn't feel like proper supercars, no turbo models available. The new model looks exciting.

I am a fan of all the z and zx models. I put a few kms on a 300zx and it would be my favourite. I like the new one except for the colour. The 350z is a great car but I prefer the same year skyline coupe for looks.

Agree the supra is ugly, though it does have drama. This Datsun is better looking but whether the underpinnings can compete with the supra BMW.
Not that they can’t do it, looking at you skyline, but whether they have the money.

sw20, Sep 19, 6:45pm
New Supra is too expensive for what you get. For less money just buy the BMW M240i which also can be optioned with a real manual transmission. When you toss up the price of the Supra, you may as well spend a few thousand more and get the BMW M2.

If you want an old car go for gold.

Yes the new nissan is a better car.

If I had the money, I'd buy one of these.

Nice. I wonder how many years of renders there will be before they actually start stamping them out and selling them?

In the old days that they are trying to cash in on, they just got on with it and put their current big 6 cylinder sedan engine in the smallest chassis they could assemble out of their parts bin. just like the Brits who have them the idea in the first place.
