you also have to consider the fact that Nissan has went ahead with the production of the iDX, but as has been quoted by one of their higher ups before, they currently don't have a platform that would work with the iDX so there is a very good possibility that they are developing a new chassis structure to work with the iDX and with that being said i can definitely see them using that same chassis the iDX would be using in the next Z, which while keeping the weight down, they could stick with a larger engine in the Z and still make it affordable due to platform sharing between the 2 models and do a 4 cylinder turbo in the iDX while they are at it. This is all of course just theoretical, but i wouldnt bet against Nissan doing something along those lines if they had the chance
