If they did make a 4 cly Z I wouldn't have gotten it. I still would have gotten the V6. Same if I went with the camaro or mustang; I would have gotten the GT or SS.
Well, yeah, if you want the Z to be a volume car, then you would have to make it more economical. I agree. You'd have to make it more practical for it to sell.

But that's if you want to go that direction. As far as Nissan goes, Altimas and Versas sell like hotcakes. That's their go-to for volume sales. But I think if they stuffed a warrantied TT V6 in the Z, making it come closer to GTR performance, it could compete with the Americans, and its sales in the performance category could pick up and maybe preclude them from killing it for another extended period of time. I don't know for sure, that's just my gut.
