Hi guys. I'm over here visiting from the G side. I have an 08 G coupe, but for some reason I'm just dying for a Z. Can you please update me on some info? How much longer will the Z be this body style?
One of the dealerships here in Memphis has a '10 left. It is silver which is probably what I would want...that or red. I wouldn't be modding the car at all. I have a supercharged '95 Z28 that I do my modding to and show. This car would be a daily driver.
Any input would be appreciated.

Re: From the "G" side
If the past is any way to predict the future it will be around for a few more years...most versions of the Z have a five year lifecycle. There are small changes made throughout each version but five years looks like the average lifespan of each, jut look at the 350Z - over its six year run there were three different engines (four if you count the Japan only 380RS).
All that being said, I wouldn't rely on past history alone. You also shouldn't necessarily concern yourself with having the lastest Z, they're always going to tweak and change the car. I was completely happy when I picked up my 35th Anniversary Z...and then Nissan released the 2007 with the HR engine.
I'm sure all the drivers that bought the last of the 2008's felt the same way when the 370Z came out though.
Still, it's pretty early in the cycle of the 370, I don't know that much will change very soon. But I'd sure love to see a more retro gauge cluster and no more boomerang lights!

Re: From the "G" side
The boomerang lights are kinda strange, of course I think things like that are strange for a while then grow on you. That is why I would want silver because I think it doesn't accentuate the lights that much. I remember when the Celica first came out with the big long headlights. I hated them. Now look at how many cars have the big sweeping headlights like that, including my G.
I'll let y'all know how my test drive goes. I really like my G, but I was stupid and got an automatic. I don't know what came over me to make a mistake like that. Sometimes I feel like my G just isn't really sporty enough for me. I have 2 useless backseats...what a waste.
