The folks at Japan's Best Car Magazine, being the great speculators that they are have done some speculative renderings of a (gasp) possible R35 GT-R based crossover SUV. I doubt there is much truth behind this. but the magazine is speculating that that the that GT-R based SUV would be output around 480ps, be a 5-door hatchback and target Porsche Cayenne buyers.

[GaGen2Teg]

what the hell...ew thats just straight ugly

[b18cCuzz]

look just like the skyline

[EJ25RUN]

look just like the skyline

So what. The cayenne was pushing it but this is just blasphemy.

[TicketRedBB6]

Lol it looks just like the new skyline, just raised up a little and with a hatch. They could've changed it around a little more atleast.

[Sol-Badguy]

I like the EvoX in the corner peeking in. :D:D

[Mike Lowrey]

Dumbest thing since Porsche did it.

[TicketRedBB6]

I like the EvoX in the corner peeking in. :D:D
Lol, it's jealous that nobody over at mitsubishi thought of jacking it up and selling it as an SUV/hatch

[EJ25RUN]

The don't need to. Mitsubishi has made the best off roader vehicles for the past 25 years.

Pajero anyone?

I've always thought Nissan should just sell the Patrol here.

No they have yet to make that mistake.

Their true biggest mistake....

http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2007/01/09/033583.1-lg.jpg

1. The door handles...(um really wtf)
2. The interior
3. Horrible motor from 03-06
4. The reinforcement bar in the trunk is stupid.
5. Ugly till 06.

If these were better, id like it.

HOW?

[nreggie454]

IMO much worse than a Cayenne. The Cayenne is much more subtle and actually looks like an SUV instead of a lifted sedan. Not to mention the fact that they have extremely advanced suspension technology that makes it usable on the road and off of it.

This tries to look aggressive like the GTR, but failed miserably since crossover SUVs are practically the salad-tosser of all automobiles. Nissan also has a whole lot of work to do if they want to be up to par with a Cayenne with this new SUV.

[EJ25RUN]

HOW?

you own a z?

I had a 300zx before and the z32 will always be better than a z33.

[SiRed94]

and that's what will probably make it over here... hahah

[koukis14]

you own a z?

I had a 300zx before and the z32 will always be better than a z33.


Yeah I own/owned a Z31. I have driven countless Z32s and Z33s. I think the Z33 is far from Nissans biggest mistake.....I think that award should go to the Armada.

[EJ25RUN]

That comment was a fun slapnyoface to 350z owners....i do that :D

But yeah Armada, the new Murano :tongue1: .....Comon guys wtf?

[R32Dragon]

This doesnt shock me, today's metrosexual car trends tend to favor sissy crossover SUV/Minivan vehicles rather then "masculine" sports cars.

[thedream2147]

Pajero was sold here ..rebadged as the Montero. I loved my old 1995 Montero when I had it in Nebraska...in the winters it was awesome..much better than the X5 4.4i that I traded it in for.

[Revmaynard]

I completely agree on trying to make something that competes with the Cayenne, but as far as that goes, fck that.

[zoborax]

The GT-R got car-of-the-year in Japan in both the overall status and, of course the sports car status. Maybe this is their attempt to get SUV-of-the-year! Pretty feeble though.

[Elbow]

EW.

[pali_meister]

eeeeeewwwwwwwww

[Crazy Asian]

Thats like brittney spears now.

[VooDooXII]

I can't even begin to express how wrong this is.

[santacruz77]

just as ugly as the new "skyline"

[evokenny]

whoa lol

[FoolsDrifFWD]

**** Id drive it. Its so ugly why the hell not?

[takume]

I just hate that all these car maker just keep making all these giant SUV super powerful. WTF. btw that GTR looks real ugly.

[Kevykev]

LOL @ you all, that vehicle will 'not' happen!

YOU CAN SUCK MY ****. YOU WISH YOU HAD A Z, and :
1. who cares about the door handles?
2award winnig motor( almost 300hp out of a v6 stfu

4. no styling changes til 07 so your dumb, please never respond to any thread ever again

Ah no... i could have bought a Z in 06 but i chose to get my STI.
Better than a Z in every way. I can also bring three friends and demonstrate how much an STI is better than a 350Z.

1. Who cares about the door handles. You haven't been on this site as long as i have. We had a serious thread bout this years back. And you are really gonna tell me that if you follow the side of a 350z, those handles look like their in place.

2. Your "award winning motor" is from a France and was put in the z cause its so cheap. Im sure you saw all the issues these motors have had with boost. 2 of my friends got rid of their cars after being fed up with the Z's engine and its inability to make large hp.

3. Of coarse it serves a purpose. To make you brag about how good a z handles even though its only rwd competitor (the s2000) handles 100% better.

4. """"no styling changes til 07 so your dumb, please never respond to any thread ever again....""""

Look my b!atch, you are just like the other overheated 350z owners on here. I make a little slap at yall and you flip out. It's ok i know you have to defend owning a sub par automobile but whatever helps you sleep at night.


Don't ever come in my post calling me dumb again. Your just needing somebody to argue with cause you know how stupid your car is. I think your the idiot in this situation.

[collins]

lol, damn sean... taking it to heart are we? chill man, he even stated he was kidding. besides that, everyone's entitled to an opinion... that's just his. you're allowed to have one of your own :goodjob:

[Nissan Sean]

YOU drive an ugly subie, so at the end of the day you can say what u want but my car is sexier, and yours is ugly. so lets stop arguing about my door handles and call it a damn day

lol sean you are retarded, the 350z is Fugly.
The subaru places function over form, it is rally inspired. Subarus define what looks good and what does not, when the 04 and 06 subarus came out people thought they were ugly, now people think they look nice. And I'm willing to put money on the new STI catching on

Subi looks better, drives better, turns better, fits more people in it better... handles better, drives faster, AWD, and did I mention faster?
Wait I think it gets better gas mileage too...
Oh and 300hp out of a v6 is not something you can really brag about....(btw you have 287 stock brand new)
The s2000 gets 240 out of a 2.4 I4, and the upcomming GTR gets ~480
Your 2 door 350z is 3400 pounds, 4 door STI weighs 3200 pounds.
Your car has 287 Hp and the STI has 300

I hope you are smart enough to do the math...

[santacruz77]

sti over 350z anyday

[Nissan Sean]

still has turbo..........why are you in tis stupid argument anyway. and you neg repped me lol. silly subie owners you guys are a special group thats for sure. hell you could pull up to a lambo and youd still say your car is faster, and why do you all have to insist that you believe that your cars are asthetically pleasing. they look ricey as hell even stock, huge wing, horrible looking head and tail lights, come on lets just agree to disagree. the important thing is that we both love the cars we own, and we chose them for our own reasons.














oh and new 07 z has 307 hp. and 7500 redline, not bad for a sixer. new subie= ford focus, and it lost to the new evo in every comparison test. :D

[EJ25RUN]

still has turbo..........why are you in tis stupid argument anyway. and you neg repped me lol. silly subie owners

Just to play my card, I gotta admit that I'd probably get the 350Z instead of the STi. The STi, in my opinion, is a very ugly car. Has been since the bug-eyed Sedan and is still today with the new STi station wagon.

The 350Z is simply a sleeker looking machine. Screw the odd door handles. It's a minor detail when looking at the overall lines of the car. 300ish HP out of an N/A V6 isn't bad, despite what you turbo boys want to say. Hell, my Mustang has a V8 and makes 300HP and 320TQ. So what?

You know for some reason in the past few weeks ive started to like the current stang but mostly cause of the FR500C in the koni challange.

Ran...have you driven an STI....i used to sell subarus and all these people come in and say "what's with the huge wing and scoops and such"

They drive , they buy it as if it was the easiest car deal ever.

[Nissan Sean]

Thanks Ran, needed somone to back me up here, getin attacked by these crazy subie owners. atleast somone here can interpret good styling and respect performance.

Hey "SEAN" read posts #16 and #19

Ran...have you driven an STI....i used to sell subarus and all these people come in and say "what's with the huge wing and scoops and such"

They drive , they buy it as if it was the easiest car deal ever.I have, and I've nothing against the STi performance-wise. I think it's got great power, handles fine, and is a fun drive. I just wouldn't buy one because I find them unattractive.


Thanks Ran, needed somone to back me up here, getin attacked by these crazy subie owners. atleast somone here can interpret good styling and respect performance.I take all vehicles for what they're worth. The Subie may perform better, it may not. I don't know since I have no idea what the specifics are for either vehicle. All I know is that the 350Z has decent power for what it is and looks sleek IMO.

I see the comparison like this...

STi - Fat chick who is great in bed.
350Z - Fit chick who is average in bed.

Then again, that's just me. To each his own.

[Nissan Sean]

i never insulted he subies performace did i? no. i have driven one and they prefrom real well, on a fun factor though in my opinion(not to insult anyone) i like the z better. there both good cars. the end

well you know what i didnt read post #19 and now it changes things. non the less it wasnt funny. it was a poorly designed joke that i misinterpreted to be a harsh insult. my bad . thats about as far as i can go apology wise

so you admit your an idiot?

[EJ25RUN]

even still though with the combination of the two threads.

i tally the IA people like this

350z - 2 - (one is the indecisiveness of ran)
STI - 7

To go along with that.....who remembers the 350z VS forester xt thread?

[Ran]

350z - 2 - (one is the indecisiveness of ran)
STI - 7You can chalk me up to the 350Z. I'd buy it over the STi just because I think it looks better, is more sporty, and has respectable performance. :cheers:

[EJ25RUN]

You can chalk me up to the 350Z. I'd buy it over the STi just because I think it looks better, is more sporty, and has respectable performance. :cheers:

i did... 350z final score of 2

[On_Her_Face]

YOU CAN SUCK MY ****. YOU WISH YOU HAD A Z, and :
1. who cares about the door handles?
2award winnig motor( almost 300hp out of a v6 stfu
3. you think its stupid, but it serves a purpose
4. no styling changes til 07 so your dumb, please never respond to any thread ever again

1. people who open doors, unless you are Bo Duke
2. 300 hp woo hoo, look at the e46 m3
3. it still takes up space/stupid
4. well in that case he thinks the 06's are ulgy too

[Nissan Sean]

i think the final score isnt fair(a little baised, more suby guys in the thread).lol but im not gonna say i was an idot just a little overzealous. you gotta realize us 350z guys are sensitive and the only people who ever say bad things about our cars always seem to be you suby guys. its a rivalry thing i guess. please dont bring up the forester vs z thread, thats a very bad idea.










so many haters in this thread..... its almost funny, oh and the e46m3 is an awesome machine too. so are porche's with there flat sixes pushing out crazy numbers. but the price difference is big too.

Like torque?

"Sean" im antagonistic but you are simply ignorant. The s2k was never ever meant to be a torque machine. It was meant to replicate the market held by the miata and held true the tradition set by the s800 and s600 sportscar of the 60's.

You know sean, the ones that in race trim reved to 11.500k ....right sean?

The s2k is a handling car with # 1 purpose is feedback of the road and proper cornering.....Things a z fall way short on.

If you dont understand something and diss it.... its called ignorants sean.

And remember i dont even own an s2k.

[Nissan Sean]

why do you keep using my name huh? its a little creepy, but yeah if the s2k is great why then on road courses the z beats it (stock for stock) ? answer me that. i can find a video in japan if i need to prove it. the s2k is a great handling car, but i like torque and hp. why do we keep arguing anyway. and now your the one insulting me? i dont really care which is the fastest or what cars is better, i bought my car because i loved the styling, the performance, and the fun factor. i have no plans to go race anybody. i dont street race, and i dont track my car, so who cares? there will always be better cars, no doubt, but i bout the one right for me and i absolutley love it. if that makes me ignorant than so be it. the Z is the best car for me that i can afford. otherwise i would have a porsche, but seeing how thats out of the question i bought the z. its a fun car that looks good and goes as fast as i need it to go. and like they say, "ignorance is bliss" so i must be one happy muther fukcer according to you.

Apollogies sir. I am multi tasking at the moment. Excuse my grammer.

[Deke]

Hmm interesting scenario here. I drive a WRX. My dad drives a 350z...

I'd have to say that in a comparison form the years of 2004 (first year of the STi)-2006 I'd opt for the STi. But if I had to pick a 2007-2008 car I'd probably go for the Z.

I feel like I've picked up similar vibes to this current argument multiple times on this board. It seems like most people except for Z owners have something against the Z, and that Z owners hate STi's. Why can't you just like both. They're both very fun and sporty cars.

[Nissan Sean]

yeah lets get back to the original topic, we have jacked this thread enough already . i really hope nissan doesnt actually plan on manufacturing that horrible exscuse for an suv. which i dont believe they will, but it would be bad if the did. the porsche has a sense of aristocracy which nissan just cant match.

so sean.... if you bought this new "awesome gtr" would you not

"use it for racing, i use it for everyday life and sometimes mash the gas to have some fun, its a car, not a race car."

Cause if that's the case that be a waste of a gtr. A gt car has to see the track ones in a while... Drive it to the track, race it, drive it home. That's what their built for.

on a final note "sean" why have you made repeated referenced about performance when at the end of the day you lack any knowledge of it?

Come on man, compare apples to apples. lol
its not an i-4 its a boxer 4 or flat 4

[BTLFED]

Here's what I got out of this thread (BTLFED Notes):

-Pics posted of GTR SUV
-People hate
-EJ25 expresses his dislike of the 350Z (which is ugly as hell. G35 Coupe >>>> 350Z)
-Nissan Sean's vag gets sandy because people are talking about his turd
-Hilarity ensues
-Nissan Sean runs away with his tail (Read: vagina) tucked between his legs because he knows he lost

For the record, if I had a choice, I wouldn't pick either. I'd buy a used vette. Riding in Leadfoot_mf's Vette makes my pants tight.

I guess there's been a good bit of improvement since 03, because I've driven my Dad's 06 multiple times and never have I disagreed more with Clarkson.

wiki article


In part because of its high-revving nature for a car engine (9,000 rpm rev limit for the 2.0 L and 8,200 rpm for the 2.2 L engines), the S2000 achieves the highest specific power per unit volume of any mass-produced naturally-aspirated automobile piston engine, producing 123.5 hp (92 kW)/L in the Japanese F20C (beating the older record holding Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 by 0.375 hp/L (0.28 kW)/L). The compact and lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allows the S2000 to obtain a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and lower rotational inertia than would otherwise be possible.

ALMOST 300hp out of a V6? Funny how an STi makes 300hp out of 4 cylinders. :lmfao:

STi > 350Z ANYDAY!


V6 NA vs. I-4 Turbo

Come on man, compare apples to apples. lol

Yah seriously... I will take a BMW/Porsch 6 cylinder over the boat anchor motor... I mean VQ.


Here is my take(and I like BMW).

The 350z was a flop. The car is downright ugly, it is not all that fast(a 95 e36 m3 with 240hp has equal speed), it doesn't handle all that well and it is a bit "thick in the waist". The majority of the drivers I see are business woman and middle aged men. I rarely see anyone that is not just "driving" the car actually DRIVING one. It is a car that gets noticed on the road though and that is why the owners are buying them, however as a performance/enthusiasts car it really isn't.

To the other points that were expressed...

1 - The door handles do look like they were added after the car was done, kind of like the Dodge with the battery in the fender... "Oh sheet, we need door handles".

2 - Interior... Am I driving a Sentra?

3 - VQ = Boat Anchor... 300hp is nothing when you get into a real performance car running with a 6 cylinder. BMW was making 330hp out of a 3.2L I-6 back in 96...

4 - That bar is dumb, what is it there for? Another place to stick a "Z"

5 - Still are ugly to me :)


Now for the Suby STI is better. For me it is, it has more soul, more life. On top of that it corners better, it stops better and in my eyes looks better. Here is the think, the styling is radical but guess what? Does anyone not know what it is? I think the new STI is bad, it doesn't look like a Subaru! 2.5RS 2 door, wide track, hood scoop and vents. STI same thing. That is the look and why it looks good! I understand that Subaru is tired of losing in WRC and the 4 door doesn't work as well. They can't take losing to Citroen and Ford in hatchbacks anymore... Answer is to make the STI a hatch and bring back the crown once again!


Now onto the little EVO talk... Sure it is fast, sure it beats the STI in comparos. If I am buying a car like that I want to know it has some pedigree. Mitsu dropped out of WRC, it can't keep a tranny in a car and they suck. On a side note, much like the 350z, I feel like I am driving a 2g eclipse RS... Are these interior plastics going to break when I turn the heat up?


Carry on!

Good post... i own a GD and ive driven the new sti.... Drive the car then make your decision,.....Trust me if anything its worth the drive.

WRC 08 ~ we have yet to see the new car debut.

i feel the evo x deserves a chance as well. Everyone says its ugly. I dont think so. But driving it is something i have yet to do. And see if the evo 9 20 cent interior improved.

[DinanM3atl]

Rumor has it 1/2 season will bring the new STI. Solberg and Atkinson are 5th and 6th in WRC and Subaru is in 2nd and they are driving a car that development was frozen on!

I will go drive a new EVO... with blinders on until I get inside the car so I don't have to see the exterior :)

Still you are so right bout how the e36 compares so much better than a z.

You E36 is amazing....Opinion on some BBS wheels for it?

[DinanM3atl]

Nah... I don't spend large amount of money on wheels so BBS is out for now. Maybe when I pick up some big sponsors I get some wheels :)

The wheels on the car were 50 dollars an include rare 17x9 rear wheels :) I will have it out at the varsity I decided :)

oh and new 07 z has 307 hp. and 7500 redline, not bad for a sixer. new subie= ford focus, and it lost to the new evo in every comparison test. :D

i think your facts are a WEEEEE BIT off.. we arent on our 10th revision .. and I dont know why they even left the 9 that was a great ride

i never insulted he subies performace did i? no. i have driven one and they prefrom real well, on a fun factor though in my opinion(not to insult anyone) i like the z better. there both good cars. the end

hOW MUCH GEL IS IN YOUR HAIR? Or how much leather do you own?

Hey everyone......thanx to "Sean", ive gotten ten Reps after his rep.

I still don't get it why he wrote how he didn't care if i neg rep him even though i gave him a chance to win back some respect.

thats an excelent view of this senario. i wouldnt mind having both cars though, the sti for a daily and the z for nights out on the town. nice comment, good to see someone having a different look at it.

Older Z = Ugly
New Z = Still Ugly

hey guess what. i dont like 350z's or sti's both jap junk. my brother had a 350z i drove it for a week when i visited him. was looking forward to finally driving a new z all i can say is what a let down. i could not believe how cheap the interior felt. such a shame not to mention the car had zero soul. i also dont like the s2000 and i have driven that car as well. and i have driven the sti of the three i would take the sti. least horrible of the lot. not saying much. i would just get an e36 or e46 bmw if i could not get a vette.

the best bang for buck is a c5 corvette end of discussion. and if any of you little **** suckers say anything about the vette interior i will personally come and kick you in the balls it is not a ferrari or lambo but it is no worse than any of the other cars mentioned. at least when you sit in a vette you know you are in one and not any other gm car. unless you only look at the ****ty radio.

so **** all you little nut swinging fag gots who gives a **** what other people think about your car they dont have to look at the ugly pos every day you do.

and grandma test what the **** is that. my grandma cant handle a ride in my car it would kill her.

~starting another argument~:taun:

[DieselNuts]

My thoughts over all is that the STI is a better performing car with much more potential than a 350Z. One area I favor the Z hands down is the RWD. I am not really a fan of awd because the only time skill becomes a factor as far as driving hard is concerned is launching it from a stand still. You cant just bounce it off the rev-limiter and dump the clutch like many people think. I do think a RWD car requires more driver skill during the launch than AWD because of the ease to spin the tires and blow the run all together.

The styling of the Z really doesnt bother me except for the hidious door handles. If I bought one, I would have to get them shaved for sure. The interior of the Z is full of large black plastic panels which I think is horrible. No, its not a luxury car, but you spend more time on the inside of the car, so shouldnt that be an important factor if you are looking at it all the time?

I really like the styling of the STI's up untill the current hatchback model. I liked the 04/05 right off the bat. I saw the 06 and thought it was ugly, but I knew it would grow on me because I hated alpha romeos but because of the track version on Gran Turismo 4, I liked it. I was told by someone at gwinnett subi that subi had hired the designer from Alpha and thats the reason for the resemblence of the two cars.

The new STI...well as far as this comment below goes...


the styling is radical but guess what? Does anyone not know what it is?
...if your walking down the street and you see where a homless crackhead took a shiit on the sidewalk, does everyone not know what it is?

After all is said and done, I would pick on 06/07 STI over the 350 because of power potential, but would be weary because of not liking AWD.

In the end, you see what I picked \/\/\/ G35>350Z

You guys keep skipping one thing.

I used to sell subarus and the fact that the STI has 4 doors and 4 seats is important. It allows that guy with kids and a dog to take them places. We are used to seeing an STI for what it is compared to a Z and Vette. But really a Z and a Vette compare to each other much better than an STI.

STI - Rally breed 4DR you can live with every day.
Vette/350z - 2dr sportscars more meant as a pleasure vehicle....If you dont agree look at the people buying these cars.

[EJ25RUN]

I was told by someone at gwinnett subi that subi had hired the designer from Alpha and thats the reason for the resemblence of the two cars.

If that is true...(i really dont know if it is)....But the guy that designed the 06-07 Tribeca and prolly influenced the design of the 06-07 sti.....Got fired.

I agree, which is why hopefully I will be getting one next week :boobies:

Something that I forgot to touch on earlier is the S2k. Who really gives a fuk about 123hp/liter when you're only making 240hp? What is the tq/liter? I know the car wasnt built for TQ, but having a daily driver that you have to rev to 6500rpms to even get it out of its own way is rediculous IMO.

mmm... i see an S2K for different reasons than everyone else.

My driving style puts corners more important than straights and i think its great to see the tach stay between 5 and 9 the whole time your driving.
