New Nissan Z Leaked?

[Jesda]

i know this is pic has been out there a while, but it fits Nissan's newest design scheme a little better than the one above.

Modern but still a Z. I dig this.

I like that as well. I'd take a little more S30 hood bulge if you really wanted me to tweak it, and I'm not sure how I feel about the weirdness at the bottom of the door/fenders.

Just saw MGMT's new video with prime placement of a tuned classic Z.

Obviously it would be huge compared to the original, so that also is a negative for me. Safety Features, blah blah,over engineered, blah blah, self cleaning cup holders,blah blah, it parallel parks your other cars like a valet so it can stay in the driveway at all times.

Although just a rendering (I doubt they'll ever release anything with such harsh lines), I don't think this is a Z. It's most likely their response to the FR-S and BRZ. The 370Z price went down to $29k start and that still wasn't enough because Z sales still went down. Just my opinion along with true car stats, Nissan sales reps and my uncle-in-law that works in Nissan (NJ).

Nissan has already released the FRS/BRZ competition concept. It's the iDx.

With side mufflers, a 1.6 turbo engine linked to a sportier CVT and 225/40 19-inch tires, this feels more like our game, except it would be even better with a proper manual.

God. Dammit.

The words "NISMO" and "CVT" don't even belong in the same sentence together.

The words "NISMO" and "CVT" don't even belong in the same sentence together.

unless there's words inbetween them, for example:

The NISMO team got rid of the CVT in favor of a proper manual. Good call, because only the nanciest of nancies would ever want a sports car with a CVT.

I don't think the word CVT belongs in ANY sentence, EVER. Positive, negative, neutral, I don't care. I want to pretend it doesn't exist.

Its more of an acronym than a word. I wouldn't rule it out for that reason.
Example- Cultivated Vitamin Thongs. Sounds pretty good to me.

I chuckled at the thought of those being for sale in an Earth Fare.
