Looks like it's gonna be retro.  If they do 400hp 3.0 V6 and manual transmission for under 40k, it could be a winner.

Any idea what platform this will be on?  Please don't tell me it's more FM...

I was so distracted by the confusing alphabet going on in the background that I barely looked at the cars.

They are all trucks, and two cars.
Nissan really is out of ideas and money for decent products.

... Nissan needs to use these shocks on the GT-R.  It would be like the Incredible Hulk wielding Thor's hammer.... unstoppable.

Nissan brand should be disbranded
The new Z should be a Renault.

Murano convertible is being rebranded as a Z car.  A fixed-roof version will replace the Z coupe.

Renault Alpine? Sure, I'll take one.

I'm glad they're making a Z. I've always been a fan of most of the Z cars. And I'll pull for it to be better then the German Supra.

I also hope this pushes Mazda into making a sports car.

 :lol: Mazda makes THE sports car. But yeah we know he meant a new RX-7-8-9 model. I wonder if they're still working on that hybrid Wankel-electric. Seems like a perfect hybrid combo.

I think he means sports GT, like that super purty inline six concept they teased a few months ago.

What super purty inline six concept??? From Mazda?

Edit: Oh yeah that one. Nice, but I like the earlier RX-7 concept better.

MrH

I'd greatly prefer a new rotary, but I can get excited by a RWD I6 Mazda too.

I noticed a GTR isn't in there, meaning that it's going to soldier on 9years old at this point. Goodness Nissan  sucks so bad now

Why? As neat as rotaries are, they kind of suck, make no torque, and are unreliable.

Twin turbo V6, manual transmission.  Actually Japanese car.  The Z proto going to be unveiled Sept 15 or 16th.



However I think the last time they released a Z concept, they had a better commercial for it.

Is it going to be retro? With a name like "proto" it sounds like it might be a throwback? The "roar" sounds pretty tepid, like a Corolla AT revved in neutral.
