Am I The Only One That Likes The New Z?

Ford got away with it with the Mach E, so I’m really not that surprised Nissan is also expandin g thei r “Z” into a separate segment. 

I’m sad to lose another FR sports car, but it’s 2020 after all. We’re lucky to get anything, I suppose.

I just hope you don’t have to get the NISMO in order to get something other than the CVT.

Tragic, but also realistic.

Zcross.

So here I thought “lemme jump on Oppo real quick because I have 5 minutes before my next meeting” and this is the first thing I see and I don’t even know why but I have a truly visceral reaction to this garbage and whisper “what the fuck? Fuck this shit.”

Anyways it was a real roller coaster for me. Carry on.

Even NISMO have CVTs standard

ok, but maybe it could keep SOME of its sporting credentials by offering a sporty convertible option?

Needs bigger grill. Can grill extend over the windshield?

I like how effective that light bar is, it’s illuminating the interior amazingly!

I’m still confused.  Is this actually a thing or are we just bashing crossovers?

Lower that Nismo edition, give it a manual, 400 hp, and a worthy suspension , and you might just have a customer...

I blame the original for the X6 and GLE “Coupe”.

I honestly do not mind the coupe SUVs. Do you really  need all the cargo space you can get in a “traditionally” shaped crossover like an X5? Honestly most people don’t need more cargo space than a Miata has.

I mean, Mitsu and Nissan are in a race to the bottom, so this only makes sense at this point.

The X5 looks so, so much better than the X6.

I don’t have a problem with the FX Infinitis - they look pretty good. Also, V8.

I test drove a F X35 a while back.

If I was forced to get an automatic crossover, I think it’d be the top of the list.

Oh, X5 does look better. But, subjectively, I think the X6 looks good too. They’re both stupid frumpy crossovers with way too much space and power, so why not get a little weird with it?

I’ve heard they handle surprisingly well. And lots of Z bolt ons are applicable still.

It still hurts me that the Maxima dropped its manual for a CVT.

seems to be an extensive, well planned, line up!   (Just between you and me, I think I might light the new Z too - need to see it in person.)
