350Z 370Z and GTR are not terrible cars. They are quite bloated and the antithesis of 240Z/510/S13 ideals.

WAY too many overwrought cars that put up good performance numbers, but lack in the everyday FUN category.

A 350Z/370Z is a lot faster (stock vs. stock) than a 240Z, but a 240Z is a LOT more fun to drive in most real-world situations. Ditto an S13 240SX vs. GTR. The GTR is a freaking ROCKETship, but the S13 is more engaging to me.

To say that Nissan hasn't been any good since the S15 is just and untrue statement.
I'll go one further and say that Nissan hasn't made a car that I'm terribly interested in since the s13! Not saying that the 350/370Z and GT-R aren't any good, they're great cars to be sure. But they're way too bloated. I'm just not at all interested in having one.
I would LOVE to see Nissan get back on track with cars more similar to the 240Z, 510, and S13 240SX. I would be on board for any of those
