Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Unlikely to be badged a Z car I would think, but certainly makes sense. Either we get a 2-door RWD coupe with a small 4-pot turbo engine that will sell about 5 cars a year, or we get a crossover car with the same engines and 4x4 that will sell millions. The affordable but fast coupe as we know it is dead: You either go slower like the BRZ86, or you spend more and get a TT/Z4/Cayman. End of an era folks, end of an era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Show how much everyone loves a bargain - £33K for 400bhp+ V8, with everything you want standard + 2 rear seats + a legendary badge....Nothing else on the market comes close, surprised Ford dealers haven't had to resort to crowd control Or for £3K cheaper you can buy a van to ferry your sproglings around in!!

Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 just as ford announce 2000 preorders on the mustang Well, exactly! Why buy a crappy Nissan with a sh*tty engine when you can have a V8 Mustang? Ford can get away with it due to the volume they sell (I suspect they sell the RHD Mustang at a loss) and because of the name: The Z moniker just doesn't mean that much to people ultimately, not compared to the Mustang or other Jap favourites like Supra or GT-R. No point bringing a quill to a nuclear war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infiniti Q30 looks very similar and will be built in Sunderland, draw your own conclusions:- https://www.infiniti.co.uk/infiniti-world/concept-cars/q30.html?

Ekona Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tbh, I think I'd rather the Zed died off than was diluted with either a 4-pot or an SUV. Some cars don't have to live forever to stay an icon forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 "The concept uses a version of Nissan’s PureDrive Hybrid system, with a petrol engine acting as a range extender to keep the batteries charged and electric motors driving all four wheels" So not only a ugly crossover, but also an electric car - Though not a proper electric car, its still got a petrol engine in it to charge the batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
