There were huge amounts of complaints when Toyota/BMW built a car as the Toyota seemed to be mostly BMW but selling it through both companies and sharing development got it on the showroom. Now Nissan goes completely by themselves but the end result is not really a new car but instead parts off lots of other cars, same chassis with close to the same base chassis/mounting points, modified interior.

I give both companies credit for doing something in a market segment that is unlikely to make a lot of sense bothering with. It doesn't look great for this segment for the future. If there wasn't a Toyota/BMW partnership I don't think there car would have been built for either of them and if Nissan didn't put this together the way they did I think the logical decision would have been to abandon the Z. Not completely happy with either effort but better than the alternative of nothing.
