and after this pandemic Nissan might just be forced into bankruptcy, never mind launching a new sports car.

The prediction even before all this started was bankruptcy by 2022 so the forecast is grim for them.
The car "news" sites are scrambling for content so articles such as this need to be taken with a massive block of salt.
I haven't looked but I bet if you dig back a couple of months C&D were writing about Nissans impending doom and now they say a new car is coming out?

As much as I'd love to see a new 400Z, in the new coronavirus economy, it's hard to see how Nissan would be able to afford the expense of developing a niche car that would have negligible impact on sales. The company has been in progressively worsening financial trouble for years. They have had to implement desperate measures such as eliminating employee travel. When a company is down to scratching for nickels and dimes, I can't imagine they're going to have the money for a new small-volume sports car. The very survival of the company is in question, and they have to focus their limited resources on maximizing revenues and profits on potential big sellers. As much as enthusiasts would love a 400Z, that won't do it.

It's a shame. The Z is an iconic sports car with a storied reputation and history. I looked seriously at the 370Z vs the BRZ, and came very close to buying one. People diss it for being 'old', but it's like buying a brand-new 15 year old sports car - very analog feeling, visceral, great power, and just plain fun. The downsides are terrible visibility and almost no cargo space at all (it's a hatchback, but the space is barely 6 inches deep). Plus most of the Nissan dealers I visited were complete sleaze, which was the final turn off.

And those god awful, over sized, poorly place, ugly as hell door handles!
I also cross shopped them and every time I walked up to one I shuddered at those door handles. Petty complaint yes but still a deal breaker for me.

You forgot its biggest problem. At 8/10ths it feels great and super capable, but if you drive it at the limit it feels like a mess. Suddenly it’s all over the place and you have no idea what the wheels are doing. The twins on the other hand inspire confidence even at 11/10ths.

Oh and the interior. Jesus. The steering wheel is lifted straight from my mom’s 2009 Maxima. The whole interior makes the BRZ feel like a Porsche inside.

It is the drag from those door handles!

I work near, and drive by at least twice a day, Z1 Motorsports so I get to see a lot of modded late model Zs, including two dozen or more in their parking lot.

I just can't bring myself to like them. I loved the 240Z and 280Z. and sort of liked the 300Z. They lost me at the 300ZX though.

350 and 370 z cars are meh at best. Nissan as a company is meh at best. 400z that probably wont happen, meh.
