That grille looks *SOOO* much better than the base giant rectangle. If the base Z came with this front grille, I may have considered it instead of my Supra.
I really really really really really really really really really really really really love the brand new Nissan z. I feel like this is the Apostle to the sports cars
Immediate order, immediate order if I could. Just became one of my favorite cars, I would heavily consider the Heritage edition, but this one I would definitely take over anything else. Phenomenal looks, the best so far. Nissan is coming back heavily to regain its spot, if not already there and growing.
I bought a 1983 280zx from an old couple back in 2006. 113k miles on it, and they were the original owners. Everything was mint except a little rust underneath. I couldn't believe I only paid $1,300 for it.
Mr. Raitie, after watching countless of your reviews i decided to pull the trigger for the BMW 2025 M240i xDrive. I could not find myself to pay $$$ for the Z Performance at these current dealer prices. BMW gave me the rare opportunity to build it the way i wanted it. I will keep watching your reviews, i love your fun take on cars 🏎️
@ i did see it in person, and i fell in love with it, the only “zonk” was that it was not a manual transmission , but i am 55, and maybe i should let that go by now; lol. For 50k i can have a car with color and options i want, the exhaust sound i love, and great looks. I cannot complaint. 🏎️
Still have not seen a single one of these on the road. I’ve seen two, at two different dealers. One was marked up an additional 45k above msrp(Orl FL 50 & 417). The second one was also marked up way above msrp(RaleighNC).
Same. It's been two years since they came out. I live by a major city and I've literally seen zero of these on the roads anywhere. Nissan is getting closer to what I want though. Give us more color choices and do something about the insane dealer markups and I'd buy a Legend Edition. Until that happens, I'm buying a GR86 instead. Or the new MR2 or Celica in another couple years. Good videos though. We appreciate you.
The first Z was in 1969 not 1970. If u look on the hatch window. It shows since 1969. There’s also another hidden feature under the Z. A Z steel logo. I have the 2023. This is my 5th Gen. I’ve had the 1986,1994,2003,2011 as well. I’ve had the Z28, conquest, Supera, Vette, Stealth, 3000GT. I always came back to the luv of my life,my Z! And, John! The Z is an ICON! The Z is here to stay! Mark my words!
I like how the wheels reminds me of the Watanabe wheels which is quite popular with the classic 240Zs and they made a modern twist of their own. Looks pretty cool with the Z Legend Edition. The split grille on the front suits well with overall design as well. Love it ❤
Front end an improvement. Steering wheel seems huge. Wish this car (and the performance model) was say $5K less. It’s Nov 2024 and have only seen 3 Z’s on the road since the release. Nissan not doing a better job on getting more on the road. Wonder if it’s the price and that it’s essentially a 350 refresh.
Very nice car id consider it if the pricing is fair unlike last years model. They had a 2024 Nismo at my local nissan dealership but they wanted almost 70k for it. I feel at that price id rather just go for a mustang gt. But if the pricing is more reasonable then id definitely consider the Z.
I'm buying a GR86. Affordable fun. I'd buy a Z but the dealer markups are nuts. And I want more color choices. They're making better improvements though. If they don't get it together by the time the new MR2 and Celica come out, I'll get one of those instead of a Z. I do love the new Z though. I really really wanted one. But not paying almost double for it.
Where's the Nismo with the Manual transmission at? Nissan needs to release the Z with that concept front bumper from the Tokyo auto salon from a few years ago that looked 🔥!
The Nissan Z is a legendary sports car known for its sleek design and powerful performance. The latest model, the Nissan 400Z, features a twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers impressive horsepower and torque.
I'm quite sad about the Z that instead of actual body widening for a special car (like M2 or something) it has stick on fender widening, no leather (it is a plastic fabric trimmed in vinyl), no adaptive suspension, weird seat switch position, super weird giant chrome trim accent over the windows. I do like the grille better than the standard Z but I think I could pick some vintage Z''s and park them next to this and everyone would say the old one looked better, I have no doubt.
The back end of these new Z's are sexy. I don't like the front so much, however. I feel they could have gone a little more retro, or something like the 2025 Sonata front end, but perhaps a little rounder, to preserve the old look. I have never seen a front and back end of a car that looked as cool as the Sonata. It kind of has a future yet retro vibe. I think even if they used the clean look of the 350z front it would fit the back better.
Man can Z just get more non-black rim options. Match the katana metal color. I loved my 370 Z but I didn't like the spare rim color. Front is much better
I wanted to love this car but they priced it too high. All of the competitors in the same price range are better, for several reasons. At the price it's at, it should have been designed on an all new chassis, otherwise knock 10k off of it.
I thought the same initially but have since changed my mind. The 1996 Z TT was about $45k. This one at about $55k is roughly 20% more….not bad after 30 years.
![Hunxho - Ball Forever [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nki9ZTF9Uls/mqdefault.jpg)
The front is a solid 40% better looking. Please make them all like this
Agreed. Actually looks unique and very good.
My bet is they will on the midcycle refresh.
@fortheloveofnoise I think they will too. The original design looks borderline unfinished.
That grille looks *SOOO* much better than the base giant rectangle. If the base Z came with this front grille, I may have considered it instead of my Supra.
It is nice that they are offering some different options.
Totally agree!
Agreed...that large grill is a deal breaker but the split grill on this legend looks great 👍
You would of made a mistake
@@dnice362 Yeah, I love my Supra😁. But this grille would have at least made me take a second look at the Z, lol
The Nissan Z Legend Edition reviewed by our very own legend. Works perfectly. 💪
You are spot on the money Chris!
Love this ! Put it on the side for me Joe…..put a SOLD sign on it ! 😁😎
I told Nissan for you Tom! They are sending it to you right now!
@@RaitisRides👍😃
This is the best of the best looking z cars I've seen! Nice work!
Good way to end my day, appreciate it.
Oh wow! That is really awesome Derrick! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I really really really really really really really really really really really really love the brand new Nissan z. I feel like this is the Apostle to the sports cars
That is so wonderful to hear Luis
@@RaitisRides thank you so much Joe for letting you share this video

That is a beautiful looking Z car. I also love the older gens 240, 260 and 280 Z's.😊
You have very good taste in cars!
Def the DATSUNS are timeless. But what about the 370z like I have 😢😢😢 PWWWEEEAAASSSEEE LOL

First Z 82 turbo,second Z 85 turbo, third 2015 370 touring. That's it for me beautiful cars 2025 awesome
I absolutely love the look ! Would to make that my 3rd Z. Thanks Joe and Steven 🤙🏼
You are so very welcome and you have great taste!
what a true legend of ajapanese sports car
You hit the nail on the head Anthony!

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Looks good and the price is just right
Been following your channel since 2018 lo e your videos.
blue interior is sweet looking ...
I am so glad that they had the guts to do it!
@@RaitisRidesLOL
Looking so much better than the standard Z
Joe - z the man - get it? this is wild stuff you're delivering - keep up the outstanding coverage buddy. love to ya 24/7/365
You are the man Tony! I have more to come!
@@RaitisRides oh yeah I can't wait
Another instant classic ❤
You hit the nail on the head!
What a BEAUTY WőW!!!
Awesome video !! Quite the history 👍🏼
This is so very true!
This is my fav variation of the new Z, but I'm ready to see the new Z NISMO
I wish they would do the Z NISMO in manual.
@ Would be sick
I’m dying for this new Z.
Still have not seen a single one of these on the road. I’ve seen two, at two different dealers. One was marked up an additional 45k above msrp(Orl FL 50 & 417). The second one was also marked up way above msrp(RaleighNC).

Joe, That Z’s gas cap is ginormous.
Love the Legend Joe! Will this be a limited production i wonder?

This is the one, this is the best iteration thus far

LOVE the EX & IN terior totally....I want 1
Wanna better than the previous Z!
Looks and all!🎉
I've never seen one of these on the road yet.
The pricing for this car is crazy
I really really like the blue interior. It reminds me of the early 2000's WRX STI that I always wanted
This is my favorite so far of the New Z's
This vehicle is a thing of beauty!
I would lose the stripes. My 1982 280zx would talk... "your lights are on"... love that car
Oh wow that is so cool
I love the Z 😥 they made it impossible for me to buy one with those price hikes, I tried my best and eventually had to buy something else
Dealers markups are killing the sales...
Joe, I can tell you been HUSTLIN'
Thanks man for recognizing that!
Dam this car looks good Nissan is on fire lately.
That split grill is much better looking! It seemed like the design team and engineers were very lazy. The marketing campaign wasnt too far ahead!
I'd rather have a vette Joe. But I really love your videos. Your zonks are fair and ALWAYS correct
That is understandable Mike! It means a lot to hear your kind words.
@RaitisRides yea man. I think you and Lori are great! God bless you guys
Very nice car id consider it if the pricing is fair unlike last years model. They had a 2024 Nismo at my local nissan dealership but they wanted almost 70k for it. I feel at that price id rather just go for a mustang gt. But if the pricing is more reasonable then id definitely consider the Z.
Perfect car for old rich dudes in Miami looking to pick-up ran throughs with a nice AUTOMATIC car. Easy on the hips and knees..😎👴🏎
I have only seen 3 of the new Z out on the road, they even selling?
I’ve had 4 Zs. Could this be #5? Also, I’m 6’2” and I’ve never felt cramped in a Z.
This or Toyota GR86, Honda Civic Type R, Hyundai i30n, and Others, Right?
Tough choices for sure!
I'm buying a GR86. Affordable fun. I'd buy a Z but the dealer markups are nuts. And I want more color choices. They're making better improvements though.
If they don't get it together by the time the new MR2 and Celica come out, I'll get one of those instead of a Z. I do love the new Z though. I really really wanted one. But not paying almost double for it.
Out of all of those Type R all day
Type-R, the shifter is marvelous
Really wish they added a manual option for the Nismo 😅
But this is a great alternative for the time being.
I wonder what colors will be offered on the Legend Z?
Paul Newman ran his last race when he was 82 years old at Watkins Glen and finish 4th
Great daily driving
The grill is perfectly executed. Replace the current one please!
Seriously considering a new Z--the 6-speed manual makes it a rare, desirable bird!
When Raiti doesn't mention price u know the public gets screwed !
Has the power increased over the nismo?
Same question I asked myself since he did not answer the video's question... 😏
No
So can you raise the seat you can't in the other models?
Where's the Nismo with the Manual transmission at?
Nissan needs to release the Z with that concept front bumper from the Tokyo auto salon from a few years ago that looked 🔥!
Hey raiti! It’s been a while since you did a review on the type R 😭
HP isn't where it needs to be for that price, also the fuel starvation issue has yet to be addressed.
Very good points for sure!
That's beautiful

You can't tell me this isn't an AI account
@@hhaste Def AI.
No one is buying these unfortunately, my dealership is full of them
i love this Z more but i hope it comes in blue
I'm quite sad about the Z that instead of actual body widening for a special car (like M2 or something) it has stick on fender widening, no leather (it is a plastic fabric trimmed in vinyl), no adaptive suspension, weird seat switch position, super weird giant chrome trim accent over the windows. I do like the grille better than the standard Z but I think I could pick some vintage Z''s and park them next to this and everyone would say the old one looked better, I have no doubt.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this one.
The question is, is it better then a Supra, M2, M4, Mustang or given the ridiculous dealer markups, a Corvette or Cayman? Meh.
That is the million dollar question.
Who’s still paying markups?!?!
The back end of these new Z's are sexy. I don't like the front so much, however. I feel they could have gone a little more retro, or something like the 2025 Sonata front end, but perhaps a little rounder, to preserve the old look. I have never seen a front and back end of a car that looked as cool as the Sonata. It kind of has a future yet retro vibe. I think even if they used the clean look of the 350z front it would fit the back better.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Joe, is there any talk/word of an upcoming Z roadster??? 🙏 say yes!!!
🤞🤞
The 240z did not have a hood prop rod. The hinges for the hood are in the front and the hood open opposite of the new Z. No rod was needed.
2:30 the fenders stick out further but the wheels don’t lol
Make it 4wd and give it 500 wheel horsepower tune friendly, then you will get better sales
Not feeling that split grill and automatic but other than that the car look amazing.
I think the front end would look a lot nicer with fog lamps in the bottom corners
Man can Z just get more non-black rim options. Match the katana metal color. I loved my 370 Z but I didn't like the spare rim color. Front is much better
Too much glossy black; PPF nightmare... Covert that black gloss to either cabon fiber or flat black.
Black wheels are good but I think Silver wheels would be better in the Legendary edition. 👌🏻
Love the exterior styling and dash layout, the blue leather is out of place , too overpowering , that said, just an elegant design.
I wanted to love this car but they priced it too high. All of the competitors in the same price range are better, for several reasons. At the price it's at, it should have been designed on an all new chassis, otherwise knock 10k off of it.
What would you like to see the price out
I thought the same initially but have since changed my mind. The 1996 Z TT was about $45k. This one at about $55k is roughly 20% more….not bad after 30 years.
I really hope they can come up with something like Miata RF kind of convertible hardtop
Can you get a manual?
Looks sweet, they will make a dozen and dealers will over price them to sit on lots forever. 😆
This is the best looking version by a landslide.
Nissan really beating this new Z horse to death.. Anything to jack the price up even higher😂😂
My favorite color is the black gold color Nissan z
Please do more vehicles at the 2024 Sema show
What's the name of the tire dress? 🤔
That is a great question.
Nice looking ride
I am so glad that you are digging this one Rich!
Hope it’s going to be available in right hand drive 😁
Make it mid-engine and panoramic sunroof
Hope the z will have hybrid power like AMG 63s .
The gap on that bumper is bothering me
Why so many editions?
They are trying to get their money's worth out of the platform.
Do they have a Twinkie edition?
Nissan made that front like they didn't want this to sell.
Joe, you work to hard and show us cars before they setup the price. 👍👏🥂
Day 33 asking for the BMW M5 Touring review
The fender flares are cheesy. They should have put different panels with BMW does for their M packages.
Looks like the AE86 in the colors and details 😂😂
You said it’s the 7th Generation? The 8th? 240, 260, 280, 280ZX, 300, 350, 370, 400?
