Went to the auto show, saw the new Z. I like it a lot, looks much better in person. Def will go test drive one when they are out, its very tempting if it drives nicely.
They had a Nissan Trivia game at their booth, I beat everyone and won some Nissan swag as well lol.

I had absolutely zero interest in the Z up until about an hour ago. Starting new base price of 30k

Okay Nissan you’ve got my attention.

Thinking hard about nabbing a used one after someone else takes the depreciation hit. This or the new GT86, same plan.

Click bait, there is no chance the car will be 30k.

But it wasn't the garage talk guy, it was the Nissan rep who said 30k.

RobC7

Yeah I saw but the 370z started at 35k, with less tech, safety, and much simpler drivetrain. Not happening.

The base model 370Z started at $30k MSRP, plus destination and fees.

Search around for other car talk youtubers from the Houston Auto Show, and this $30k starting price is being repeated, right or wrong.

I guess we'll find out for sure in a few months.

RobC7

Just did a quick search, it was 31k with destination, good catch!

Either way this car will NOT be cheaper than its predecessor.

This could really shake things in in the world of internet comparisons.

Entry-level Supra vs a loaded Nissan Z.
Entry-level Nissan Z vs a loaded BRZ.

No wait, the Supra only has two pedals. Nevermind. Plus, it's ugly as sin.

I thought the exact same thing until I saw one up close and personal. It would definitely make my short list except it is only a rebadged BMW which makes it a hard no for me...

Wow, 30k starting. That is very tempting.....

Nissan accounting for those dealership mark-ups so expect 40-45k once it hits lots.

Yeah there will be dealer mark ups 100%. I don’t buy new cars anyway so I’d be looking at one with 25k-30k after a year or two.

If MSRP is 30k(ish) then this will a bangin lightly used car option.

I don’t think that link is click bait since it was an actual Nissan rep that stated the base price but who knows.

I wasn't wrong about it being heavier either.
