Removed Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 as we know, the new Z will get the Vq35HR engine, but some in the US on 350Z-tech think there's going to be more to come, like a new chassis, new body etc. what do you think? http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/index.p ... =19078&st= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Not sure if there'll change the lines (ie body panels). Perhaps add a 'kit' as standard but I would say they probably haven't got the return on investment for the current shape yet. Before changing everything I think they'll put the new engine in and tweak interior and spec maybe. If it ain't broken...... What's the shortest space of another manufacturer from launch to redesign? I can't think of much less than about 5 years (that's checking model history on things like Imprezas and so on). Evos are just new interiors and kits each time, with fundamental changes about every 5 years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 well the Z was launched in 2002 after all.... also the new engine seems to have issues in fitting in the current engine bay according to some yanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buds Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The mini was possibly the biggest motoring success of last decade, and they've changed it after 5 years. Granted they certainly made their return, but you never know. Five years is enough for a manufacturer to consider it at least i'd say.

Dash Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 have it on VERY good authority that a bd change isnt due until 09, and then it WILL be lighter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 could make sense, since in Uk it was launched end 2003. In any case I think the yanks will get it before us, so we'll probably know what's going to be changing soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
