I'm getting the impression that the three World Debuts listed under Nissan's exhibit on the Tokyo Motor show page would be the iDX concept, GT-R Nismo, and BladeGlider.

The rumors were swirling hard for a new Z, but I'm getting the idea that's not happening now. Anyone know anything? It's been killing me for months!

Don't forget the car that'll likely become the NISMO Sentra (or Spec-V)...

I'm not sure what they're planning for the Z, although I didn't think it was slated for reveal until early 2015.

I've been waiting quietly, with a combination of hope and dread.

It was originally announced well ahead of TAS that the "new " Z would be revealed on November 22 at TAS. I'll see if I can scare up those sources later...

...if, post reveal, I'm not standing on a ledge getting ready to jump.

Yeah I'm still waiting for the next Z reveal as well. Sort of a big deal because I'll either be buying that or a corvette in the near future.

I'll take a C5 with C6 Z06 everything else over anything I could imagine coming from Nissan's new lineup. :dblthumb:

I've also thought about a Vette as a next toy, but a C6 Z06 (with stock seats replaced with recaro's).

I was seriously considering the 2015 Z, but when the Alfa Romeo 4C comes next year I don't think of the Z anymore. Nissan not going my way so I will keep my Altima coupe a little longer then the 4C.
