I have thought for years now that Nissan will downsize the engine to a small 4-cyl turbo. Just look at the nomenclature of the Z. For years, the Z was referred to as the Nissan 300zx, 350z, 240z and so on. That number designated the displacement. 300zx = 3.0/ 350Z = 3.5/ 240Z = 2.4. The 370Z has never been referred to as "370Z" by ANY of Nissan's marketing materials. It has always been referred to as only the "Z". This has led me to the believe one of two possibilities:
A) Nissan is planning on downsizing the engine. With this in mind, they do not want ANOTHER 350Z or 250Z <-- This is assuming that they use one of the popular engines already in many Nissan vehicles (VQ35, QR25).
B) They simply wanted a more modern name for the car and will stay the course of increasing displacement.....not likely.
