Nissan Z Will Just Be Z, Not 400z, Source Says, Sharing Other Details
There's a reason we have a "Rumormill" logo: A guy-who-knows-a-guy wrote a post at the 400Z Club forum pertaining to Nissan's upcoming rework of the Z, and if it's correct, the forum's going to have to figure out a new name for itself.

Check out Houston's report at the forum. And then, we'll see about all that.
