I really don't understand why Nissan feels the need to build a new Z car. They
have the new S15 Silvia which looks better than any Z car ever built and has
just won the European Performance Car of the Year award and the Australian
Performance Car of the Year. Also they have the Skyline GT-R, which would kick
to death any Z car ever made. For a company in deep financial trouble it seems
wrong to add another performance car to it's current product line, the only
thing they are likely to achieve is to take sales away from the Skyline and
Silvia. If you see the photos of the upcoming R35 Skyline GT-R and compare them
to the new Z concept, the Z looks like nothing more than a hairdressers car.
My 2c worth, stepping down off my soapbox now.
