Correct. This generally happens and doesn't happen because to save money auto makers use common platforms for different cars, and changing that costs more money. I'm not familiar with how many Z parts get shared elsewhere (I believe the Infinity 37 is the same?) in particular, but I'm sure that was part the decision to stay a bit narrow. Just pure speculation on my part though. I've been off this forum so long I consider myself way out of the loop anymore.
