Auto News For Tuesday, September 8, 2015 – Toyota Reveals The Fourth-Gen Prius Today

2015 Nissan Z Crossover Concept Frankfurt

Here are the five must-read, must-watch auto news stories, reviews and videos for Tuesday, September 8, 2015.

FUTURE
Is this the next Nissan Z, a replacement for the Nissan 370Z? And is it a crossover? It all sounds odd, but if there’s one thing that can get sports car enthusiasts excited, it may be the fact that a crossover-like Z replacement will likely be more affordable than the current car. The concept will bow next week at the Frankfurt auto show in… Frankfurt, Germany. Nissan sold more than 30,000 Zs in America in 2003 and 2004 but won’t likely sell more than 8000 in 2015.
