I hate to say this, but I don't think writing letters is going to do much good. Frankly, it's the Ford Mustang syndrome all over again: Build a car that becomes a classic, then stop building it, then reintroduce it by building a horrendous, underpowered, ugly sacrilige to the name. Hello? They finally got it somewhat right with the new model, but it took them 30 years and what, THREE ugly body styles later.
Frankly, as long as Nissan keeps making parts for my '82 ZX, I don't care whether they come out with a new Z powered by a 4 cylinder engine or a V-16. The car is ugly. It's not as bad as a new Taurus, which I still think is the ugliest car on the road. But it's pretty bad. Besides, am I missing something, or did Nissan have their shot already with the 300ZX and they couldn't sell more than a few thousand a year at the end? I say you can't go home again, and I've never seen a sequel yet, automotive or otherwise, that came close to the appeal of the original. (Okay, except Godfather II.) So let it go and give the masses a decent electric car. They could call it the ZZZT.
