nakamura and french guy knows this. but they still decided to launch the 370Z with that engine so i am not sure why they are facepalming now. i think the car is brilliant for what it is.

So why not cross platform with Infiniti V8 vs V6? Instead they talk about a smaller Nissan shared platform.

Yadah, yahda, profit. Economics. Remove passion. I get it.

I too think the car is brilliant for what it is.
