my guess is they saw how well that crappy built but TONS of fun to drive 86, frs, and brz sold and nissan said to themselves "I want some of that" hopefully they dont try to pull a sub 20k car to compete. The Z car may not be the fastest on the street, but one thing they have ALWAYS had is good build quality and reliability which jacks the price up a bit. turbo 4? ok, im down with that as i have a subaru wrx so im well aquainted. electric? GFYS nissan. maybe in 30 years when they have perfected it. but now? batteries are ****, that thing will last all of 5 years, as 99% of electric cars from all manufactures are already proving. they are heavy, expensive, complicated, and dont last as long as the cars they are put into. extra torque or not, if they so much as touch the next round of Z cars with an electric motor I will just buy an M series BMW or something.
I drove a BRZ and boy was it fun. but upon inspection....... its built like you would expect a sub 20k car to be built..... like a piece of ****, especially interior quality. and, of the 2.5 "scion being the .5 pretend company" companies that build it, the subaru BRZ would be the one you would expect to be the better version if there are any differences at all. I hope..... no PRAY nissan isnt going that route seeing an opportunity to just make some cash off of unsuspecting lemmings. hell mazda and mini have been doing that for years, ever drive an MX5? its a damn blast! would I ever own one? not in a million years. no one gives them any attention, and act like OMG HANDLINGZ!!! is some kind of brand new concept invented by the frs,brz,86 in 2013....
