If it isn't, it will be 10 minutes after it leaves the lot. Buy it then I guess haha

Fair, but Nissan buyers aren't all cross shopping US cars in similar price ranges. Nissan has successfully sold Z's for around $48k-$52k for a long time.
About 20 years ago, the competitors were the TT and the S2000. Obvs the S2000 would've been the best choice but I don't think many Nissan folks are debating Mustang vs. Z. If there isn't an RX8 or another reasonably priced, 2-seater, RWD, import available, they will buy the Z.

I’m surprised there are still Nissan folk. I guess they are like a Mitsubishi or Suzuki folk that don’t care about owning a nice vehicle.

They are the same people who buy Toyota trucks.

Consumer Reports clearly states that the nicest cars are those that spend 20% of their time in the shop. BMW/Audi/Jaguar/etc

3485lbs curb weight
Clutch Type Mechanical LSD (no more VLSD )
19x9.5F and 19x10R wheels

Looking somewhat promising, now let's see how much it undercuts the Supra price by.

Not everyone is a grumpy curmudgeon.

I think they redesigned the front bumper now... after reading this thread.

I thought they stuck to their guns, and only give you a less ugly bumper if you pay more.

Business 101.

[heavyD]

Bumper is still the same. Also car is still a Nissan. Wah-wah.

[Buster]

I dont hate it as much as I used to. I still hate it. But not as much.

[heavyD]

Hate is such a strong word.

depending on the final price i think its a good bang for your buck. Manual transmission, twin turbo, 400hp...would be cool if there was an AWD option.

[DonJuan]

My bad, I thought I was looking at a new redesign with a split bumper, but it was old prototype news with a catchy headline.

Nissan has a better chance of me buying this than the BMW Supra; not that I have garage space for either. They didn't just slap a Z badge on someone else's car and call it a Z, they just slapped a body kit on their old car and swapped in an engine.

Supposedly to be priced around $40k USD for the entry level models.

that isn't so bad, twin turbo and the manual transmission is hard to find nowadays. Hopefully the transmission isn't as notchy as the previous models
