The Ecoboosts are meh, looks good on paper. According to a friend there's not a whole lot of room to make more. It seems like an economy build engine that's been maxed out to look good.

Mmmmmmm I think in 2020 the Mustang got the Focus RS's ecoboost cylinder head design and other improvements.... so that engine should be able to push out quite a bit more power... not as much as the RS as I believe the block materials are different (320icar can speak to that much more than I could) but there's definitely room to move up beyond stock power figures.

Still sounds like shit though.

I drove an Ecoboost Stang for a bit for company car.
Awful motor - only 2MPG better than V8, very laggy, tiny intercooler meant heatsoak after just two minutes in traffic, power delivery was all over the map (lots of surging/pulling timing)... 0/10 would recommend.

Enthusiasts should count their lucky stars that a car like this is still being made in 2022. In the end, there will be 50 units of this car sold in Canada per year because enthusiasts in real life only buy new high-end sport cars (e.g P-cars/M-cars) or they're cheap and try to buy cars at the bottom of their depreciation curve 15 years from now.

Nissan needs to continue to sell junk like the Rogue to the masses in order to make the Z car viable.

I don't consider it all that lucky when they're as meh as the Z has turned out...

GR86/BRZ on the other hand... affordable and great driving... and fast for what it is now with the new engine

Yeah, the BRZ/GR86 is probably the best sports car today for plebs. But having options in the market is better, which is why this car on the market, despite being on a last-gen platform, is a good thing for enthusiasts.

Are these things out yet? Or maybe I saw a press car, it was the yellow colour one.

EDIT: apparently Z-Fest was in Missisauga at Nissan HQ on August 7th, so probably this yellow one in the 2nd picture here.

I would be much more interested in this car, but I’ve read so many bad things about the engine and it’s turbos failing etc

this wont sell all that well in this economy. They should have brought the s16 to fight against the BRZ/GR86 crowd instead of going up and slotting between the bmw supra pricing.

Sorry my grammar is poor in that sentence... lots of turbo problems... not outright engine failures.

Is that Bellevue Nissan?

Whoever the dealer is, they are dreaming if they think anyone would be stupid enough to pay a USD $74k market adjustment -- esp when it is on a $55k MSRP car lol~

Sticker says Bellevue Nissan in WA so I assume as such, and $130k puts it just under lightly-used GT4 territory lol
